A Model of Its Kind. TWENTIETH ANNUAL REPORT—LARGE NUMBER OF REFORMED BOYS SENT OUT FITTED TO BE USE- FUL AND HONORABLE CITIZENS, The twentieth annual report of the reform school of the District of Columbia, prepared by the president of the board of trustees, Mr. A. J. Falls, presents an interesting exhibit of the operations for the past year of this excel- lent institation. The school was organized nearly twenty-one years ago, and from that time down to and in- cluding the 30th of June last there have been received 1,386 boys. On the first day of the last fiscal year there were 155 boys in the school. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1849, 84 boys were received, making during the year a total of 239 boys, Of boys received during the year 9 were committed by the Supreme Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia, 49 by the Police Court and 26 by the president of the board of trustees, Eighty were received upon first commitment and 4 upon second commitment. The average e of the boys was twelve and a half years, The oldest boy received was sixteen years of age. The youngest eight years. No deaths have oceurred at the school for over two years, and from the time the school was organized until now but nine deatis have occurred out of a popuiatiou of 1,386, covering @ period of nearly twenty-one years. This of itself speaks well for the care and attention the boys receive. They have—though plain— the very best food in abundance and the best medical treatment when sick. Fortunately, but few cases of sickness occur, and generally when they do oceur they are of « mild type and readily yield to treatment, Forty-nine boys were discharged during the year. Itisarule of the board of trustees not to return to, and where a boy has earned his discharge by his good conduct. if he has no suitable home, every exertion is made by the superintendent and the trustees to find a home and employment. As a rule boys on leaving the school readily find employment and cou- duct themselves weil. Many instances have been brought to the at- tention of the board of discharged boys hold- ing places of trust and responsibility im this and other cities, and, with very few ex- ceptions, whenever they hear of discharged boys they learn that they are doing well. The training that they receive at the school fits them for the battle of lie. They ure sent out well equipped to make their way in the world and to become useful and honorable citizens, and it is the pride and pleasure of the trustees to point to the Ncubesthe ond exediuahie dareae of a large majority of the boys who have been under their con.rol and management, —— The Proposed Railway to Mt.

I saw and read a letter in your columns which was a great help to me | and I want to thank you. I have been far from strong all my life and this fall my physi- cian prescribed for me the use of the bicycle. Iwas dreadfally opposed to it, not because I disapproved of it but because I am naturally very timid and distrustful of my own powers in the direction of athletics. However, my hysician would not listen to me beyond teil- foe me that if I wanted to grow strong this was my chance, and it would be on my own head if I missed the opportunity of becoming of some use to myself and the rest of the world. I began to learn, To say that I was frightened, discouraged and absolutely con- vinced that it was at the riskof my life that I made the experiment, is to state the case very mildly. Ihave been about six weeks leurning to ride and have exhausted my own patience and the patience of my instructor many times over, but have at last’ conquered the art and } am now thoroughly at hou.e on my machine. I began tb feel the good effects uf the exercise almost immediately, and now that I car ride every day there is a perceptible improvement in my general health and I am thankful in proportion to the physician who first put me on and kept me on in spite of myself. The letter that i saw and read in your paper came in one of my darkest hours. 1 was in despair of learning and yet could not give it up, and when I saw wai it had done for another womao I determined that i would keep on and succeed. for what another had dove I surely could, and I did, I wouid not give up my wheel for anything, and count a great deal of my cou- tinually increasing health and energy as di- rectiy the outcome of the use of my bicycle.

The society for psychical research, of which Prof. Langley of the Smithsonian is president, has disbanded. The society was organized in 1852 for “the systematic study of jews of men- tal action.” It issued several periodicals and | devoted itself to all branches of the occult sciences, In summing up, the society did not deny the possibility of spirituai intercourse, but they conscientiously said they could not swear to it, Not wishing to give up the work entirely the members decided to disband and unite themselves with the Lritish society, which was done.

J. Henning Jones of Baltimore introduced in the Maryland house of representatives yester- day the Australian ballot law, prepared by tho Crescent club and the Knights of Labor. The Dill was referred to the committee on elections, and, says the Baltimore Americun’s Annapolis correspondent, it is understood that there is a deep-iaid scheme on foot umong the politicians to knock it into « cocked hat. ‘The bill provides for two watchers, whose duty in part shell be to give any assistance that may be necessary to the illiterate voter, Here is the stumbling block that the politicians want to roll away. They don’t propose to have any watchers in theirs, or to allow any interference or assist- ance in any shape, manner or form with the illiterate voter, The Australian ballot law of the democratic business meu's association will probably be in- troduced in the senate today. gaa Si — Fred Grant Dines With Emperor Joseph.
