Educational Institutions of Washing- |The Volta Company Expects Soon to} Atsavon'’s—“Tux Sra Krxo.”—When ton and Vicinity. Many parents are now trying to determine where to send their boys and girls to school. There are many educational institations of the best character in Washington and vicinity. The advertising columns of Tur Star give much information concerning the schools and colleges of the city. To fyrther aid those who have not made a choice Taz Sran continues to publish notices of schools and educational in- stitutions that are highly commended. Thore are a good many foreigners in this city who wrestle with the elusive language of the Anglo-Saxon race, Many of them do it unsuc- cessfully because they don’t know how. Miss Balch, who resides at 1207 10th street, is the teacher they need. Miss Balch has the best of references from many distinguished foreigners. Many a man whose education is not quite up to where he believes it ought to be will be glad to embrace the opportunity afforded by Mr. W. M. Smith of 8 4th street southenst. Mathe- matics, Latin and English are the specialties and terms are moderate. The kindergarten and primary school con- ducted by Miss Schmitt at 401 3d street north- west open September 24. Articulation and speech reading will be taught the deaf. An opportunity will be given by Mra. Colliere at 1011 Connecticut avenue for the admission of six pupils toasmali private class of boys already formed. Applicants only received after September 22. The twenty-second annual session of the Na- tional University Law School will commence ou the Ist proximo with an prolgpete a lecture. The faculty isa strong one, includ- ing such well-known lawyers as Hon. Arthur MacArthur, Justice Miller of the bes Court of the United States, William B. Webb, James Schouler, H. O, Claughton, Eugene Sarusi, ex-Solicitor General fie go ex- Solicitor General Goode, Jackson H. Ralston and Walter F. Rogers. The university has a fine library, which is open to students daily, except Sunday, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. French aud German, when properly ac- quired, are languages of much value. Two young Indies who were educated in France and Germany are prepared to give lessons in the two tougues and in music. Address L.L.L., Star office. Those who desire instruction in elocution, yoeal cylture and dramatic action can find in Miss Ada L. Townsend, at 1817 13th street northwest, a teacher whose success in the past demonstrates the value of the methods em- ployed. ° A practical six weeks’ course of French con- versation is given by Lucien E. ©. Colliere, A.M. In addition to the maix office, 1011 Con- necticut avenue, there is a branch office at Masonic Temple. A new drill in voice culture in the French language is based on this course, The course begins September 29. ‘J Preparatory courses for college and civil service examination will be begun at the Young Ladies’ and Children’s School, 927 P street. The principal, Laura O. Talbott, announces that the school will open October 1. There is a good deal of difference betwoen the French which is generally taught in Amer- can schools and the French spoken in Paria, Mme. Ribot is from Paris and gives lessons either at 603 New Jersey avenue or at the homes of pupils. Terms moderate. One of the most popular performers on the violincello in this city is Mr. Punl Miersch. Few concerts are considered complete wifhout one of his solos. Mr. Miersch imparts instruc- tion as to the ‘cello, the piano and theory at 1121 I street northwest. It is a nice thing to be able to speak English correctly, to read Latin and also to know how to draw and to paint pictures. Persons who are desirous cf iearning these things will do well to consult Miss True at No. 1604 17th street. Every person should be able to entertain company by either vocal or instrumental music and Miss Tacie A. Daniel of 715 5th street is prepared to give instructions in those branches after October 1. Mrs, Jenny Lind Muller Green of Baltimore is prepared to accept a limited number of pu- piis for one day of each week for piano forte in- struction.

In all the principal cities branches of this school are located, and a host of schoiars testify to the excellence of the system. The terms are only $10. econ EES New Quarters New Location. The great and growing importance of the real estate business in this city finds a signifi- cant illustration in the handsome building which Mr. Washington Danenhower has fitted up for his office use at the northeast corner of 13th and G streets. When he found that his old quarters on F street between 11th and 12th streets were inadequate for his increasing busi- ness, he bogan to look around for another lo- cation, He had recognized the fact that G strect would become one of the business arter- ies of this city, and believing that it will be such in the near future he became & pionecr in the movement which is now gradually trans- forming the residences along that street into | business places. His foresight has been amply rewarded in enabling him to secure one of the best locations on the street. ‘Lhe building which he now occupies has been during the summer practically rebait and from the rounded tower which ornaments the corner to the. bay projections on the 13th street side the new structure is using to the cye and a conspicuous landmark in that-vicinity. The entire first floor has been fitted up by Mr. Da- nenbower as a real te office. “In arranging the interior he has followed the pian which isin ¢ in the best equipped real estate offices in | the country. The main portion of the office is | « large, spactous roomfwhich is occupied by the swies department, Along each side are the desks of the salesmen, and in the center is a long table where maps, plat books and plats cau be examined.

The article sent droves of people to seo for themselves the working of the new battery. A company was speedily organized, known as the Volta Electric Light and Power Company, with Col. W. W. Dudley as president, and sev- eral of our most sagacious business men in- vested their money in it, The company com- menced preparations at once to put the bat- tery into practical use. Their general man- ager, Mr. Frank Aldrich, was immediately sent to Europe to purchase material (as it was an English invention), and although the com- pany has had many discouraging delays in se- curing what was needed through the slowness of manufacturers and custom houses, but,fecl- ing confident of the final success of their bat- tery money and labor properly distributed has finally accomplished the sought-for results, and the company are now ready to take ordors for small power and te ee It has secured the three-story _buil , 334 Peunsylvania avenue northwest, for manufacturing batteries, and already has a large quantity of material on hand. ‘The necessary machinery is in place, and batteries are being rapidly put together. The company has taken the first floor in the new Baltic “building 606 F street, for office pui ws and show rooms, and now invites the Ee ‘ic to walk in and see a successful primary attery at work. A TALK WITH MANAGER ALDRICH. When a Star reporter called on Mr. Aldrich yesterday he was full of electricity, so to speak. During all the delays which would have dis- most men he has kept steadily at work, and naturally fe pleased that the hardest work is over. He states, however, that the company will not be satisfied with simply applying motive power to sewing machines, fans. tricycles, &c., but that they intend ex- perimenting in running street cars also. But for tho present their work will be confined to supplying sinall power and lights, ‘The com- pany estimates that the fiel sewing machines with motive trifling cost of running will alone take nearly all the batteries that can bo furnished for months to come; ‘‘und,” says Mr. Aldrich, “no woman after once running a machine with a motor will, if she can holp it, use a pedal ma- chine again.” HXALTI RATHER THAN WEALTH. He adds: ‘One often hears the dphorism ‘Health rather than wealth’ pronounced rela- tive to a certain business enterprise in which for supplying ha out the sacrifice of the former. Indeed, in many instances those avocations of life in which only a livelihood may be obtained are attended with such violations of nuture’s laws astocompel the employe to sacrifice health and all that is pleasant in life for the mere pit- tance that keeps soul and body together. The evils attending the prosecution of the most useful vocations are numerous, but none are more pioductive vf destruction to health than that of running @ sewing machine by the ordi- nary foot treadle, Ladies who pursue this as a business are compelled to remain at the sew- ing machine from early morn till late eventide, or perhaps till the hour of midnight, in order toclothe and sustain an invalid parent, or, as in thousands of instances, a widowed mother supplies her helpless little ones with the necessaries of life. ‘Thousands of young ladies clothe and sustain themselves in “a respectable manner by the running of a sewing machine. But these are by no means the largest :lass of persons who use the sewihg machine—indeed it is quite rare to find a family of e moderate circumstances where such a machine is not owned and run by the mother or some other female member of the hou: hold, to manufacture the necessary wearing apparel for the family. Itis also safo to say that the sewing machine is one of the grentest discoveries of any age, and its inventor one of the great benefactors of humanity, yet it is, as a whole, an imperfect implement of industry, as there is wo other machine so extensively used that is not driven by some form of me- chanical power, This fact is made doubly se- rious when consider that it is the weaker ex who are compelled tc use these machines, Just consider for a moment the vast expendi- ture of female strength that is required to keep the millions of sewing machines running. The evils attending the use of treadles are almost too numerous to mention. “It is a notorious fact that ladies are capable of enduring an amount of suffering (and that, too, without a murmur) that would completely prostrate and sink « man into the grave. The worst form of sufferimg that afflicts the female ruce is that pecuiiar to her sex, und such sutfer- ings are all aggravated and made a hundred fold worse by running a sewing machine.” ‘Therefore the company claims that the intro- duction of its electric motive power to sewing machines at the low figure it will be able to furnish it is a public benefit, as well as profit- able to itself. SUPPLYING ELECTRICITY. The company will sell batteries and furnish the formula for making the solution (which is simple and easily made), oc it will furnish the solution all prepared for use, or (which will doubtless be the most popular way) the com- pany for a trifling amount will take sole charge of the batteries. In some cities parties are making a business of furnishing electricity in storaze batteries from house to house, and a primary battery can be furnished m the same way ata much less expense. * In fact, the company claims that the day is not far distant when electricity delivery wagons will be as plentiful on the streets as milk wagons. ee Rememper the September Indian Head trips.
