The new organ at the Church of the Ascen- sion was exhibited to the public last night in a recital by Mr. Jarvis Butler, assisted by Miss Marie Decca, Miss Nettie McFarland and Miss Virginia Evans, Mr. Butler's numbers were well adapted to show the beauties of the instrument and were given with the perfection of technique end retined taste which his reputation led his bearers to expect. The Bach's fugue in FP minor and choral varistions ou “Nuremburg” were wally fine. Miss McFarland, the organist of the church, rendered Batiste’s Offertoire in D minor in excellent style and fairly surprised the audience, who were not prepared for so finished « performance from so young a player. Miss Decea sang with exquisite taste aud fe “ome, Thou Fount” and Gounod’s and had applause been in order Would have received an enthusiastic encore. Miss Evans, who isthe director of the choir, sang Rodney's “Calvary” with excellent effect. Her rich contralto voice filled the church and gave full expression to the beauties ot the selection. The choir was down on the program for a chorus from Mozart's Twelith Mass, but, owing to tue illuess of many of its members, it had to be omitted. — Death of Major Wm. E. Sweet. Maj. Wm. E.

FREE SCHOOL BOOKS. A Petition for the Benefit of the Pupils in the District Schools. Senator Plumb today introduced in the Sen- ate a petition prepared by a committee consist- ing of Paul T. Bowen. M. F. Hobbs and L. P. Wild by direction of District Assembly, No. 66, Knights of Labor, and in behalf of all labor organizations of the District, requesting that an amendment be inserted in the District ap- propriation bill to provide an appropriation of $50,000 for the issue of free books and school materials to all the children attending the pub- lie schools of the District. The petitioners state that the cost of starting the system will be about $2 per scholar, after which the annual cost will be much less, as it will be only neces- sary to replace worn out books, In Philadel- phia, where thie system is in operation, the average annual expense is stated tobe but fifty cents per scholar, The number cf scholars the petitioners estimate in the schools next year will be about 37,000, and they consider that the amount asked for will be stfticient if the appropriation provides that scholars re- ceiving free books during the next school year | shali turn over to the school authorities’ for public use such books as they way have and do not need, “Books and materials are as essential,” the Petitioners maintain, ‘as school rooms and teachers, and sliould no more be a charge upon the parents of the children. * * * The ex- pense of books 1s an important matter when several children in one family must be supplied, and it operates with vigor to exclude from the free schools the very people for whom they are especially intended, viz.. the people whose means are so limited that without free instruc- tion they would have uo instruction at all. In the school trustees’ report, 1887-83, pages 53 and 57, the cost of books is mentioned as an im- portant cause of non-attendance, A DEPRIVATION TO THE POOR CHILDREN, The incidental expenses of education practi- eally bar the children of the mechanics and la- borers of the District of Columbia from the benefits of a full course of instruction, The same inference—that the poorer children are deprived of full education—is.shown by the following statistics of the high school for 1888-89: (High school review, February °89, giving the occupation of the parents of Government employes, 515; law- erchants, 48; real estate and insur- cians, 30; contractors and build- nters, 19; printers, 16; bookkeep- rs, 15; bookbinders, 11; commis- ‘nts, 10; machinists, 9; bricklayers, 3; plumbers, 1; 18 other “trades and profes- sions,” 397.’ Total, 1,200. ‘The carpenters, printers, bookbinders and machinists are no doubt nearly all employers or business men and not journeymen. The bricklayers are a large and comparatively well paid trade (their union here having more than 1000 members). yet but three of their children were in the high school. This difficulty of maintaining children in school is also seen from the rapidity with which the high school classes are depleted. In 1588 the enrollment was: First year ciass. 314; second year class, 293; third year class, 190, The ratio of boys to girls for the whole school was 3 to 5. We do not know how many graduated, but we are confident that the _num- ber was much below 1); that the girl graduates were much more than five-eighths of the class, and that the children of mechanics and orers Were nlmost entirely eliminated from the class, THE STATISTICS OF THE SCHOOLS show that the colored children drop out with great rapidity after the primary grades are passed, owing, undoubtedly, to the indigence of their parents, and tne issue of free books is a real necessity to the overworked and un- derpaid class of people if they are to secure free instruction for their children. Free books ued now, but in an inadequate and of- emanner. The teachers are required to make an impertinent investigation of the pov- erty of applicants, an irksome duty performed with disgust or entirely evaded. In many in- Stances parents withdraw their request for free books rather then make a public exhibi- tion of their poverty, and either withdraw their children at the same time or purchase books which th il afford. The books, when issued uuder the present system, bear the public property stamp, thus advertising the indigence of the children who use them, If the books are furnished free to all none of these objections will apply. A very great economy would be effected, because, instead of anew book being required for each child in each grade, as at present, each book would carry on an average three scholars successively through the grade to which it belongs. It would also become the teachers’ duty to incul- cate the respect for and care of books instead of permitting their defacement and destruc- tiou by the children, as is now quite common. We may add that the free book system prevails SUICIDE OF THOMAS DAVIS. He Takes Laudanum and Dies Alone in His Home. A small boy distributing advertising circulars to residents in the vicinity of the high school found the front door of house No. 1334 6th Street northwest wide open. As there were no indications of any one being in the house the youngster was prompted by curiosity to enter. Going into the front room he was startled by finding the dead body of man lying on a sofa, On the floor near the sofa he saw two bottles, The lad lost no time in getting away from the ghastly object and out of the house. He went to Kaiser's bakery, two doors from No. 1334, and told what he had, Policeman Blaisdell soon arrived at the house and took charge of the body, which was that of the lawful occupant of the premises—Thomas Davis. The body was on the sofa near the front window. The de- ceased had taken off his coat and hung it across the back of achair, The two bottles found on the floor were Inbeled “‘laudanum,” one having come from Duffy's and the other from Chris- tiani’s, Thomas Davis, who was about fifty-two years was a book keeper and had been employed as such at Schneider's iron works for several years. He was formerly employed by Reed Bros., grocers on F street. @ deceased en- joyed a good reputation, but he would go on occasional sprees and then he made himself very disagreeable, He had been drinking for several days, Tuesday his wife went with her children to the house of her brother, Mr. Williains, No. 1418 9th street, and left her hus- band to struggle with his appetite for drink. Wednesday he went to Duffy’s drug store, corner of 9th and N streets, ‘and purchased some landanum, telling the druggist that he was suffering from neuralgia and toothache, When he purchased the other poison is not known. Xo one saw Davis when he returned home, so far is known, but the neighbors heard groans in the house Wednesday night, About 10 o'clock the sounds ceased, When his dead body was found yesterday there were still a few sparks of fire in’ the self- feeding stove and the clock was still running. The deceased has a daughter in Florida and a son in Richmond. They are children by his first wife. He also has relatives in Baltimore, Coroner Patterson viewed the body and gave a certificate of death in accordance with the facts, —_<——_—— Transfers of Real Estate.

In the divorce case of Susannah King against John W. King, an aged couple of South Wash- ington, the complainant, by her counsel, Mr. W. 7. Bailey, bus filed a motion for alimony and counsel fees, This case was called on the equity calendar a few days ago, when Gen, Car- rington asked that the motion go over, remark- ing that these parties were grandparents and if the case was continued the old lady would come throughout Massachuretts, aud in the cities of Philadelphia, Baltimere and Omaha. It was the issue in a recent vigorous manicipal cam- paign in St. Louis and prevailed by a large majority. It goes into effect in New Haven on the Ist of May next.

Respectfully, ADER, McGinty never had any origin. A minstrel named Flynn wrote a song. the burden of which wes the woes of one Daniel McGinty, whose patronymic indicates his nationality. The song was sung as other minstrel songs ure, aud for some whaccountable reason McGinty, like ‘Topsy, “just growed,” and he has kept on growing until he is a far greater man than the author of his being. McGinty, as the song goes, suck hard luck in his “best suit of clothes” that all mankind saw in him a reflec- tion of their own misfortunes, and misery so loves company that McGinty soon became the bosom friend of ail suffeting humanity.

The fire department checked the flames before they reached the main building. A piano, a num- ber of uniforms m the lockers, some pictures ou the wails and the in the racks were more or less damaged.
