Baltimore, Ma — | Better Salaries for Teachers Wanted— More High Schools Needed. The annual report of the school board to the District Commissioners has been completed by Trustees Witmer, Darlington and Gregory, committee on the report. The subject of the inadequacy of the present salary list in the pub- lic schools is strongly presented, In no city, it is urged, is the attendance in the higher grades so great, and the preponderance of in- crease is in the high schools. The causes of this spring from a single source, “namely, the absence of large manufacturing and industrial enterprises, whose existence in a community is always attended with the presence of a large laboring class, the educational privileges of whose children are limited to the lowest or primary schools,” The report states that the high school is badly crippled by the inability of the board to retain the services of the best teachers to whom the salaries are too small to be an in- ducement. Attention is called to the necessity Of @ suitable building for the colored = school that will compare favorably with the other high eckool in location and appointments, The es say thats point has also been Teached iw the history of the Washington high school in which it haa become apparent that a single high school is insufficient to meet the wautsof a community numbering nearly or quite quarter of a million of inhabitants, and recommend, us the best and most complete remedy, the establishment of two complete ad- ditional bigh schools, one located in the third or Capitol Hill division and the other in the northwest section of the city, either in or con- venient to Georgetown. The report concludes thus: “We earnestly recommend that the average salary may be | fixed at $700, which, if doue, would settle, as , We believe, for many years to come, the em- , barraasments hereinbefore set forth and the | injustice to teachers which unavoidably results thereform.” = G.A.R.

It would seem that the northwest portion of the city is well supplied with street car lines, and while this is true, yet those most familiar with the needs of that part of the city say that @ good deal is to be done yet before it can be said that all the needed facilities have been provided. It is pointed out that there is no cross town line in all that section of the city north of New York avenue and H street, ex- cept a portion of the Belt line on O and P streets between 11th and 4th streets. All that thickly settled ee of the city nerth of the streets named no car lines running east and west, and the only means of going Douglass Chosen President. Commissioner Douglass presided at the eighth annual meeting of the associated chari- ties, which was held last evening at St, Paul's English Lutheran church. After prayer by Rev. Dr. Domer Mr. Douglass spoke of the Public good which such an association could accomplish and the necessity for organized work in relieving the needs of the destitute and helpless, The report of the general secre- tary, L. 8. Emery, gave the statistics of the work during the past year. There were 4,235 calls for help, of which 3,205 were from whites and 1,030 from colored persons. 681 families were aided, 67 persons were given work in the wood yard, and 57 were pra ployment, The amount of money received during the year was $1,487.20 and the balance on hand at the beginning of the year was $400.82. The bal. ance on hand at present is $27.45, After the reading of the secre! 's report an address was delivered by Rev. George H. Corey, tor of the Metropolitan M.

Mr. Peter Johnson of Waynesboro’ liesin @ critical condition with a wound similar to that of President Garfield, the result of the careless handling of a pistol by his wife, A $2-caliber revolver had been left at Mr. Johnson's house by his brother. It was placed in a burei drawer, where Mrs. Johnson discavered it, Under the impression that it was not loaded she began examining it, when it was dis- charged, the ball striking her husband, who was near by, over the region of the right kid- ney and passed behind the spinal column, im- bedding itself in the muscles of the back. Mr. David Shoemaker of this county has bought the John Harbaugh farm near Beard’'s church in Franklin county, Pa, containing 177 acres, for $8,000. Mr. Thos. U. Holderman and Miss Nanie Horst, Mr. Daniel Miller and Miss Annie E. Eby, and Mr. Daniel Ebersole and Miss Mary Kauffman were all married here on Wedues- THE PROSPECT OF A FEE did not displease the lawyer and ina few mo- ments the terms were agreed upon. These were that a8 soon as the young man arrived home, at Centralia, Va., he would send a money order to cover the retainer and the docket fee, “Which route do you take home?” in- quired the lawyer, “Vell, I just Cay to Richmond, but Mr. O’Prien has all de money I haf here, so I haf got to valk, but I'll get home by Friday.” “What, you mean to foot it like a tramp? No you Won't,” said the kind-hearted lawyer, who opened his wallet and handed Karla V, suggesting that he had better go home by rai he could write and remit the money for the costs and return the $5. The young man, with apparent reluctance, took the proffered bill, remarking thathe had notasked for money, but he would at once repay it and he hoped the lawyer would prose the papers at once that there should be no delay in compelling the pa of the money duehim, He then took is leave, telling his counsel to look for a letter by Tuesday. HOW RE KNOCKED OUT O'BRIEN AND THE LAWYER. Later the same evening another member of the bar who has an office in the same building was visited by the same man. This lawyer is well known as a lover of the manly art of self defense. To this gentleman the young German stated his case, but suggested that before com- mencing suit he present his order on Mr. O'Brien for the $19) he claimed dae. He then left his name and address and stated that he intended to walk to Richmond. ‘The pugilistic lawyer examined his pockets, and naving but $3.25 gave to his visitor a dollar. The visifor then remarked that the walking was not “very pad. und if you haf seen me ven I shumped into O’Prien,who owes me dot money,you vould say Tcould valk. Vy! I dook deve fists und [I peat him so as he hav a pigger head den he ever haf before,” . “Served him right, detour down through the central portion of the city. It is claimed that facilities of this kind general truth ie admitted, yet when it com selecting a route the owners of residences ob- ject to having car tracks laid on the street in front of their property. So it appears that the streetcar line problem is beset with difficulties, and while many bills are introduced in Con- gress but few become laws, RICH INTERIOR EFFECTS. The use of the metals in interior house deco- ration seems to be more than a passing fashion. Brass fire sets, gas fixtures and articles of orna- mentare still the style, although it has been several years since their introduction, Articles made of wrought iron, producing very artistic effects, have also been introduced in the mar- ket, and seem to have struck the popular taste. Gas fixtures, as well as fire place sets, are made of this material, More recently still silver or silvered goods have been manufac- tured, and copper has come into use. These various metals do not supersede each other, but are used in connection with each other, and this fact gives some idea of the variety and richness of the material available for modern interior decoration. The wrought iron is used in the hall and the dining room generally, and the other three metals in rooms where they will best harmonizy with the decorations. The greataim of house decorators is to produce a pleasing combination of colors in the adorn- ment of the rooms. The wood work, the walls, the hangings, the gas fixtures and the furniture must constitute a symphony of color in order tosuit the tastes of the modern housekeeper. Rich plain effects seem to be the style, rather than profuse and striking decorations, TALKING ABOUT A NEW UNIVERSITY, It is likely that active measures will be adopted in a short time with the view of ascer- taining whether the establishment of a uni- versity in this District can be accomplished. The idea of those who are discussing the mat- ter is to found bere a university which will be Protestant but not denominational. The plan has notas yet passed the initial stage of all such enterprises and ‘ho public action has as yet been taken. Several men of influence and means have, however, become interested in the pee andare talking itover. Whether it will ever take tical shape or not is a ques- tion, but those interested Believe that such a university ought to be founded on a broad and liberal basis and that the facilities offered at the national capital are such as to recommend this District as an appropriate location for a great university. The suburbs of the city afford numerous eligible sites where great buildings, surrounded by ample grounds, can be erected, and the means of communication between the city proper andthe surrounding country are increasing with such rapidity that the question of distance from the center of population is no longer an important factor. 4 QUIET BUT STEADY MARKET. A general inquiry among real estate dealers during the past week elicits the information that the market is quiet but steady. Transac- tions, they say, are not numerous, but prices remain frm and there is considerable inquiry, There is some buying and selling going on all the time and moncy, they report. is plentiful, Several of the dealers say that business is better this year than last, but they recognize the fact thatthe holiday season is here, when the attention of people is occupied more with Christmas presents than with investing in real estate, day.

Recently the land has been subdivided in accordance with the plan of the city and about one-half was donated for the streets, North Capitol street and ist street west will be extended through it and so will R, 8 and T streets, ‘The work of grading North Capitol and Ist streets has already been begun, and itis the in- tention to extend these streets through to Michigan avenue, which is the southern boun- dary of the Soldiers’ Home grounds, On the other side of Lincoln avenue from this prov- erty lies Eckingtou, with R street improved by an asphalt pavement. The opening of R str through Bloomingdale and the rece proceedings in the case of the old St. Patrick's cemetery property will allow the extension of that street all the way through until it unites with the city street, thus forming a continuous ftreet from Rock creek to the Brentwood road, As soon as Ist street west is opened the charter of the Eckington electric railroad per- mits the laying of tracks along that street from its present tracks on New York out to Michigan avenue, Mr. ie chase comprised some 36 lots, containing abont 205,000, square fect. The ‘price paid was $62,000 which is atthe rate of more than 30 cents per square foot, the value appraised by the court in the proceedings authorizing the sule of the property. Mr. Joseph Paul also purebased an interest, and Gen. Beale retains Sn interest. It is the intention of the new owners to place the property on the market, THE NEW MUSIC HALL, The Lincoln Music hall building, corner of Sthand D streets northwest, is fast nearing com- pletion, Extraordinary exertions are being made to finish the auditorium portion, and it is expected it be ready for opening by Christ- mus week.

We cheerfully invite a careful Of this department by physicians, Expensive? Yes. Dear? No. And the reasons we beg to explain: expensive because it is pure; yes, absolutely pure. Arrowroot or starch are cheap. But there is none in ours. The best selected co¢oa beans come high, and only those do we use. Over fifty per cent. of every such bean is of no use to us. So you see it is expensive. But as it is pure and concentrated it goes far- ther. A pound of Blooker’s will make 150 cups of the most delicious cocoa ever tasted. Therefore though Blooker's dutch Cocoa costs $1 per pound it goes farther than the adulterated article.
