The fourth quarterly meeting of the Colored Teachers’ Association of Prince George's county, Md., convened yesterday at Beth- lehem Baptist Church of Hillsdale, « village to the sou of Anacostia. President W. H. Washington presided. The leading subject considered was the reduction of the number of months in the school year from ten to nine. It appears that the teachers petitioned the school board of Prince George's county for an increase in salary from $25 to #30 per The petition was denied, but it is that the board agreed to decrease the working months by one if the consent of the trustees was secured, thus virtually increasing the pay. The trustees assented to the proposi- Ohio Democrats May Pit Him Against Me- Kinley Next Fall. ‘The of ex-Representative Frank Hurd as the democratic candidate for governor of Ohio is regarded as a possible solution of the disagreement over the renomination of Camp- bell. Mr. Campbell's friends are Joyal to him to the last extreme, but it is asserted and reasserted with a good deal of earnestness that if he runs again he will fall far short of get- ting the full democratic vote of the state.

The fe gerd have been trying for some time to pit Neal against him, but little progress has been made in that direction and it is understood that Neal will not permit his name tobe used. Therefore the suggestion of Hurd is received with some satisfaction. HURD WOULD GET THE FREE PARTY VOTE. It is belioved that Hurd would get about the full democratic vote in the cities and that on account of his outspoken free trade senti- ments he would draw ae od from the farmers’ vote. He and Me! ay are old- time antagonists on the tariff question, ing to opposite extremes. For yeurs urd has m the champion of free trade, which has been a less popular idea in Ohio than it now 1s. The democrats claim that there is a very strong tariff reform senti- ment in the state now and that on the direct ixsue of opposition _ to the extreme McKinley protection plan they can win with the right sort of a candidate. With McKinley and Hurd runnin, inst each other that issue would be sharply drawn, and Hurd would probably get @ large free trade Farmers’ Alliance yote above his party strength. It is asserted by democrats that there is @ strong sentiment among farm- ers, th and out of the alliance, against the extreme protective idea represented—almost personified—by McKinley. It is believed that either Campbell or Hurd would make gains in the country in conse- quence of this sentiment, but that Hurd could hold his solid party vote besides and muke the issue on the tariff question more sharply de- fined. e+ —_____ BACK AGAIN IN WASHINGTON. The President and His Party Return After Their Extended Western Trip. The President and his party returned to the city yesterday afternoon at 6:30, and were greeted at the 6th street station by anumber of distinguished officials of the government who had gathered there to welcome the travelers home again. Notwithstanding the length of the journey and the numbor of stops mado, everything had gone off on scheduled time, and the train was in the station at the very moment that had been set for it to arrive, days before it started away from Washington, four weeks and more ago. The President's first act was to jump from the still moving train and greet his little grandson, Ben. McKee, who made a break away from his nurse when he caught sight of his grandfather and jumped into his arms. Then he went back on the train with the youngster in his arms, and soon after that the party filed out of the observation ear, which had been backed around on the“Y” tothe end nextthe engine, and soon dispersed to their homes. ‘The Presiden! ial party entered the, White House vehicl which were waiting outside the station, an was driven direct to the Executive Mansion. A PLEASANT CONTRAST. There was no demonstration at the station whatever, the people who had gathered there sbaking hands with the President and party as they left the train. It was the first disembarkation at has been made since the start that was not companied by noise and 07 ions, and the contrast, it was said, waa very pleasant to those on the train.

Laat night about 8:15 o'clock Driver George Dowden of the Washington and Georgetown railroad dealt Mr. Edward Hamphrey a severe blow on the head with a brake handle and in- jured him 60 badly that the services of # physi- cian were found necessary. . ‘Mr. Homphrey is a deaf and dumb man and is employed asa clerk in the Agricultural De- partment. He was crossing Pennsylvania ave- nue and came near being run down by the car horses, In order to prevent being injured in that way he raised his umbrella and struck the horees with it. The driver objected to such treatment of his horses, and detaching the brake handle he left the car and struck Mr. Humphrey on the head with it. Policeman Kendall was present at the time, and he had to run across the track to keep out of the horses’ way. He did not arrest the driver at the time, as he did not want to blockade the avenue, but a telephone me was sent to the other end of the route and the driver was required to deposit $20 collateral for his ap- pearance. The injured man was taken to the Emergence; Hospital, where his wound was dressed an, later in the evening he returned to his home, No. 1728 6th street northwest. When the case was called in the Police Court today the driver failed to answer, and his col- lateral was forfeited.

So welcome the microbe who has suffered death by electro- cution! Now, according to the plan proposed, this work of microbe murder is to be accomplished at the xeservoir whence the city's drink is drawn. Nothing could be easier than to #0 ap- ply the energy of a battery by a: current at one place in the supply pipe as to kill with absolute certainty every microbe that passed through in the flowing water. A dynamo with a capacity 80 small as 1,000 volts would do the work per- fectly for the biggest possible pipe, slaying all the bacteria going through and rendering in- nocuous all the millions of gallons daily that a metropolis consumes. ‘this plan once adopted, how reasonable it is to conceive in the imagination a sudden and permanent dis- appearance of typhoid fever aud many other zymotic diseases, with a corresponding de- crease in the death rate! Incidentally, numer- ous persons who, through fear of the deadly water, are now obliged to confine themselves to beer would be happily relieved of apprehen- sion on this account. The application of the electric current to the water flowing from the reservoir is 8 matter of no dificulty whatever. All that is necessary is that a length of the pipe shail be made of ‘in- sulated material, and through holes in its sides will bo inserted wires representing the poles of the battery—positive on one sido and negative on the other. Set the dynamo going, and the current springs through the water, filing it with powerful electric waves necessarily fatal to all living organisms floating in the stream. The length of insulated pipe must be used to prevent the electricity from getting away through the substance of the pipe.

The Smoke Nuisance. From the Boston Traus:ript. What is one man’s meat is another man's poison, and 60 what ise severe trial to one may bea supreme enjoyment to another. It must be so, else why should men go about the streets of a city puffing their tobacco smoke into the faces of suffering, non-fumiferous hu- manity, to the disgust of its nostrils and the despair of its lungs? It is not conducive to comfort, especially if one happen to be alady, to walk, for several blocks perhaps, behind one of these nuisances, On the contrary, it is martyrdom without the compensatory equivalent of knowing that one en true to one’s principles. Were one to be gnided by one’s principles in this regard, one would say something unpleasant to the offender, perhaps do something that should “do” for him. But still the evil goes on, and so used have we become to it that we breathe in the smoke which is passed on to us after the producer has got through with it with hardly a murmur, with scarcely a thought.

Thoughtless man, know you not that each puff of smoke which you so jauntily fling to the breeze is wafted into the face of the fair one, to whose native sweetness is added the costliest of merchantable perfumery, and to whom, therefore, the hot, stifling, stenchy breath of your’ cigar, your pipe, or possibly of your cigarette, is all the more’ hateful by reason of comparison and of contrast? Aud even if one be of the sterner and less sensitive sex, it is not pleasant to exchange at- moupheric air for the products of the imper- fect combustion of a very imperfect cigar, un- leas one's lungs be anotnalous or eccentric in their taste; and surely it is not agreeable upon opening one's mouth to speak to have it fi with tobacco smoke. ‘There are cigars and cigars, and the smoke which comes from the Lest is not quite ¢o well adapted for breathing a» the air which was originfally provided for that purpose.

The pipe, too, flaunts ite! on the public street, and exbales its acrid vapor with impartial liberality.

A Chicago Man Buys = Rare Book in This City. A Washington dispatch to the Chicago Herald of recent date says: James W. Ellsworth of Chicago purchased here yesterday another rare book, a Latin volume, in which the name of America is first given to the western continent. Mr. Ellsworth has long cherished a desire to obtain a copy of this rare book, of which but six or eight copies are known to be in ex- istence. His agent, William E. Curtis, finally succeeded in getting on the track of a copy, which was said in the American Bibliotheque to have been purchased by » New York ama- teur. After a six months’ search Mr. Curtis discovered the identity of this amateur and by virtue of much negotiation and the outlay of several thousand dollars of Mr. Elixworth’s money the famous book goes to enrich the Chi- cago collection. ‘The story of the book is an in- teresting one. It seems that in the lutter part of the fifteenth or early pert of the sixteenth century King Rene of Lorraine founded uni- | versity and printing press and gathered about him a number of learned men. Among them was Matthew Ringman, who some time afterward was called to Paris to build a bridge over the Seine—the bridge of Notre Dame, which stands to this While in Paris he discovered a letter which | Americus Vespucci had written to Lorenzo de | Medici and sent a copy of the letter to King Rene. The good king had sense enough to place the communication in the hands of bis rinter, one Martin Waldstemuller, who printed as an appendix to a volume he was issuing i Latin, called “Rudiments of Geography. Waldseemuller commented on the letter as fol- | fows: “Now truly us these regions are more | widely explored and another one-quarter part | Giscovered by Americus Vespucel as may be | learned from the following letters, I see no good reason why it should not be justly cal Amerigen—that is, the land of Americu or America, from Americus Vexpuce discover, a man of acious mind, inas- much, ax both Europe and Asia derive their names from the feminine form.” Several | editions of this rudimentary geography were printed, maps were struck with it for a‘model, | so little by little the name ‘“Amerigen” or | “America” stuck to the new region and spread | over the civilized world. * FEW COPIES IN EXISTENCE. The copy which Mr. Ellsworth has just se- cured is one of the original editions. ‘There | are three copies in this country, and eight known to be in existence.

From the St. Louis Republic. A railroad across the Atlantic is on the list of possibilities for future achievement of science. Many yearsagoa civil engineer read a paper before the French Academy suggesting » sub- marine railway. His theory was that at a cer- tain depth of the ocean—a hundred fathoms or more—far below any agitation from surface storms, the water is of euch a density that nothing in tubular form, whatever the weight, can possibly sink! Having thus made a foundation in the very bowels of old Nep- tune he proposed to sink continuo line of immense iron tubee—after the man- ner of cable laving—in which a double track could be laid between Cape Clear, Ire- land, and Cape Race, Newfoundland, and thus send trains booming through the tube to the consternation of the sea serpent and the mortal terror of the big and little fishes. The oniy serious objection this academician could see to | } the successful termination of this wildest of all deep-sea schemes was the suffocating effects of the smoke from engines used ina submarine railway tube. If this could be overcome, he said, then the grand oceanic railroad only required the necessary construction capital. eo A New Arrangement of the Dinner Table. From the Table. ‘The Athenians of the fashionable world are at present interested in the suggestion of the triangular table for dinner parties. by arranging three tables in @ triangle. Tho host sits at the point of the triangle, with the two most distinguished female guests on his right and left hand. The hostess occupics the | center of the base of the triangle and has the distinguished men with her.

As is usually the case they are so far removed that they cannot keep an eye upon them and see that they are well served! and are being amused.

From the New York Times. One of the needs of the future may be an association to ameliorate the condition of the little children of the rich. The way some fash- ionable mgthers rear their children is a posi- tive crime. Such women have a system whi: begins and ends with exclusiveness. The lives of the little unfortunates committed to their care are boxed with don'ts. Don'tde this, that and the other thing because the ordinary little Toms and Dicks do, and these especial Harrys must be different. Many New York mothers, for in- stance, will not permit their children to play in front of their city homes. They may run in the tiny back yards, but to go in the streets, even of the aristocratic quarter where they live, en- tails the chance of becoming ucquainted with other children “who may be undesirable.” For the same reason schools are avoided by these ultra-fastidious parents, and governesses and tutors provided. Under the stern eye of a nurse or governess who understands that her situation depends upon her vigilance they go to the park fore little decorous play. which no more resembles a natural child romp than a horse chestnut does a chestnut borse. When they go to their conntry homes all their jailers o with them and the same watch is kept up. A oy of thirteen ina fashionable household is not thought capable of spending an afternoon in the woods in sight of bis home without a gov- erness or tutor. Whatis there in a life of such repremsion to develop character? It isa won- der, not that so many of these children grow up with forced, unnatural views of life. but rather that any broad, sturdy qualities should survive this process. Galed Grown on the Table, Chicago Herald's Berlin Letter. A now experiment, that of serving » dinner party with salad grown under the guests’ own eyes, was successfully tried at the house of Prince and Princess Biucher the other day. Here is the recipe: Take good germinating let- tuce seed and soak it in aleohol for about six hours, sow it into an equal mixture of rich soil and unslaked ‘and place it on the tuble.
