Now that the programs are arranged in all the schools, and everything is going on with the same regularity as of past years, considerable attention is being devoted to elective branches, not prescribed in the regular courses. Miss Scammel will have charge of the music classes this year, the same as last, while Mrs. Walton will drill the girls in calisthenics, and endeavor to carry on the work where Miss King drop- ped it last year.

They occupy his time to such an extent that “our” girls are be- coming jealous of their Takoma friends, and think the colonel should organize a drill squad at his own school instead of drilling a squad of “country girls,” as cne of the indignant beauties termed it. The foot ball team is hard at work now practicing a number of new passes, and be- coming familiar with the new code of sig- tals which has been adopted. The boys us- semble after school in the yard, and are coached by members of the alumn: The editorial and business staffs of the Review will be completed by next week, and it is expected the first issue of the paper will make its appearance about the middle of the month. The following graduates of last year were awarded scholarships: H. D. King, King scholarship, Dickinson College; J. 8. Wall, Georgetown medical scholarship; Miss 8. C. Graham, scholarship for the’ Baltimore \yoman’s College, and Miss A. B. Gannett, Boston University scholarship. “D>: Bi Street, Ralph Strickland, Arthur Kaight and Fred Albert were transferred ¥@ this achool from the Eastern. Sz Seoke, the Chinese friend of the first year girls and boys, says that Latin is very easy, the only things that bother him be- ing the conjugations, declensions, compari- sons and constructions generally. A num- ver of the first years have also discovered the same to be rather catchy. Page and Underwood have taken it upon themselves to see that Sz wants for nothing, and re- ceives all the attention due his oriental rank. Eastern. It is understood that the gymnasium, which was started last year, will be fitted out vith new apparatus, and the boys will have an opportunity to form classes in gymnastics for the physical development. Mr Williams, teacher in mathematics, 1s spoken of as director of the gymnasium. ‘A number of enterprising members of the second and third years are talking of obtaining permission to publish a school paper, similar to the Owl, which was the official organ of the Eastern in Sl and '92. Everybody connected with the classes of "@ and "9 will remember the Owl, which through the columns of its twelve pages of news gave to the pupils all items of in- terest concerning the high schools. ‘The debating society met in class room 10, yesterday afternoon, but the committee not being prepared to make a complete re- port, the election of officers was deferred untli the next meeting. Miles Bouton was appointed to the chair temporarily. The first year girls were given a short lesson in marching yesterday afternoon, for the purpose of becoming acquainted with the manner in which the sections must move in the corridors without conflicting. Owing to the disagreeable weather yes- terday the foot ball team was compelled to go through its daily practice in the base- ment corridor. The Indian club and fancy drill squad, which for the past three years has ranked among the first and most successful organt- zations of the school, will this year be un- der the direction of Raymond Riordan. Little Grant figured conspicuously in the @rill Tuesday, and a majority of the boys are of the opinion that he will be com- missioned as major of the second battalion. Grant is very popular among the boys, and most of them would like to see him t the position, but Tralles is spoken of as a very strong candidate for the golden leaves.

Few people understand why this ts so. Let us tell you why it ie: ‘The first parts that the weather affects are the kidneys. The urea is not thrown off, but is forced back upon the lungs, and disease results. BUT IT WAS CAUSED BY WEAKNESS OF THE KIDNEYS. ‘There is only ove way known to medicine or men for promptly checking kidney troubles and restoring these great organs to health and strength, ‘and that is by use of Warner's Sufe Cure. It has stood the test of time. It bas saved thousands of lives. It has restored millious of sufferers to health. It has dons what was never done, never at- tempted before. It has made men stronger and healthier. It bas made womea brighter and happier. It stands alone tn all these qualities. Do you not think it would be wise for you to use it and thus avoid the dangers of the season? Insist upoo having & octal. C. Poston has been appointed editor-in- chief and H. R. Blanchard managing ed- ftor. The motto-of the paper is “Increased accommodations for the Business High School.” The school has just purchased a new Chickering piano, which will be paid for out of the proceeds of entertainments. The accommodations of this school are crowded to their utmost, there being forty Pupils occupying folding chairs, awaiting the arrival of new desks. Western High School. ‘The boys desiring to enter the company were given a short drill this afternoon, and Preparations were made for permanently organizing the company next week. Most of the boys are as yet undecided about en- listing, and are waiting to see whether the officers will be appointed from this school or the Central. The sentiment is very strong against outside officers, and since company H has been officered from the Central for the past two years the prevall- ing opinion is that the school is old enough to command itself. Every effort is being made to secure the appointments at the Western, as it is thought that {f it should not be done the number of enlisted boys will not be sufficient to form a company. Foot Ball Schedule. The representatives of the foot ball teams came together at the Central this afternoon and made preparations for the coming foot ball season. The following schedule of games was adopted: For October: Saturday, 14th, Central vs. Eastern. Saturday, léth, Business vs. Western. Wednesday, isth, Western vs. Central. Saturday, 2ist, Eastern vs. Business. Wednesday, 25th, Business vs. Western. Saturday, 2th, Central vs. Eastern. For November: Wednesday, ist, Business vs. Central.

Saturday, 9th, Business vs. Central. Each team will play nine games in all, and will meet each of the other teams in three games. This league is the first of its kind ever organized in the High School, and there being two games scheduled for each week, the High School enthusiasts will have a number of opportunities to see their Tespective favorites come out victorious or defeated. ——_—_ ROCKVILLE NOTEs.

The prohibitionists of the county appear to be putting more vim into their campaign than either of the other two parties, and have already held several public meetings. The iast one, held at Spenceville, was well attended, and addresses were made by Mr. W. H. Thair, Rev. Oliver Hemstreet and Mrs. Geo. Stabler.

In the Maryland Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church at Baltimore yesterday Rev. Dr. A. Stewart Hartman, secretary of the General Synod Board of Home Missions, made a forcible address in the interests of the home mission work. He said there are thirteen missions in the Maryland Synod. Four of these are in Baltimore, two in Washington, one each at Union Bridge, Woodbine, Brunswick, Sparrow's Point, Hagerstown, Davis, W. Va., and Freder- ick. The board hi these missions, it being within $307 of what the board has received during the past year from the Maryland Synod. This, however, is exclusive of what the board receives from the Woman's Missionary Society of the synod. Dr. Hartman spoke of the necessity of Prompt payment of money due the board, especially In view of the financial depres- sion. He said that although the building of churches may be stopped until spring, the salaries of missionaries must be ‘paid promptly, and particularly so when these salaries are inadequate to the needs of those receiving them. The money expended in home mission work, he said, was an excel- lent investment, yielding about 221-2 per cent. This comes in from the collections for beneficences taken in the new churches. Financial Statement. Mr. W. H. James, treasurer of the synod, reported the receipts of the past year to have been as follows: Synodical fund, $1,120; bene‘iclary education, $2,97; board of education, $1,1%; home missions by the churches, $:,766; by Sunday schools, $1,617; church extension, $%,424; foreign missions, $5,217; Orphans’ Hom: pastors’ fund, $1,016; total receipts, $25,025. ‘This is a gain of about $1,600 over last year.

There Js a balance due the synodical fund of $12, The total expenditures were $25,023. Rev. M. L. Beard submitted the report of the assessments apportioned to the various churches during the year, with the amounts received. The total amount apportioned was $13,371.75, of which $11,624.57 was re- ceived, leaving a deficit of $1,747.18 The whole number of charges on which appor- tionments were laid was 6. Four churches reported nothing, five churches paid the amount of assessment, twenty-five ex- ceeded it and thirty-one failed to meet ft. ‘The amount received from all sources ex- ceeds last year's receipts by $1,519. In view of the financial stringency this is regarded as an excellent showing. Students at Gettysburg. Rev. Dr. J. G. Butler of Washington, representing the beneficiary education fund, spoke of the necessity of raising $800 for the immediate expenses of the students at Get- tysburg Seminary. Several churches agreed to send contributions to meet these expen- ses, the amounts being credited to the ap- portionment of the respective churches.

The next subject con- sidered w: ‘appropriate name for the locality. The appellation “Neck” was unan- Imousiy repudiated and “Chillum” was selected, which is a corruption of the Eng- lish Chilham, the original name of that tract of land which is a portion of the Diggs grant known “Chillum Castle Manor.” The meeting w: well attended and spirited. It was decided to make the citizens’ meet- ings permanent. The next will be held on the Ivth instant. An effort will be shortly made to have a post office established at that point.

There would seem to be no let up in the interest taken by local medical men in the charges recently preferred against two leading practitioners for alleged violation of the stringent code of ethics that doth hedge the profession. It is a hard matter at best for the doctors to always keep clear of the trouble that 1s bound to ensue if they transgress any of the rules that forbid advertising and the thousand and one other matters that are supposed to be beneath the dignity of the profession. Still, it 4s not often that objection is raised against two such well known men as Dr. Franck Hyatt and Dr. W. A. Hammond. At the recent Pan-American medical con- gress held in this city a doctor from Eng- land raised a merry little tempest by an ad- dress he delivered on the subject of medi- cal ethics. The rules in England are very much more severe, even, than they are in this country, and’ when he came to dis- cuss them at length it was evident from the start that he was making trouble. Many of his hearers did not take the same ground as their English brother, and those who did were of the opinion that the subject was not one that it was safe or in Very good taste to discuss in a public meeting. The ethics and their violation are usually considered behind closed doors. To young physicians especially they are more or less of a bugbear until such time as he has learned what he may and what he may not do with propriety. This will give some idea of the sensation that was created at the charges that were brought at the recent meeting of the medi- cal association of the District. Dr. Hyatt was one of the physicians who was in constant attendance at the bedside of the late ex-Secretary Biaine, and against him the charge was made that in recom- mending a certain mineral water for its curative properties he had signed himself as the physician to Mr. Blaine. A phy- sician, it would seem, may sign a recom- mendation for a medical mineral water, though he must keep the skirts of his coat free from all charge of having had any- thing to do with patent medicines. Dr. Hyatt’s friends are said to have been rather indignant that any charges were preferred against him when these, they in- sist, could have been disposed of by the simplest word of explanation. They say that if his testimonial was used, accompa- nied by the words quoted, it was without his knowledge or consent, and it is under- stood that the original copy of his mineral springs indorsement will be forthcoming to make his vindication complete. ‘The charges against Dr. Hammond are in relation to his alleged ‘connection with @ patent medicine firm which manufactures an article called “cerebrin,” of which he was the originator. Dr. Hammond has pub- Hely denied that he pays for any adver- tising or receives any money from patent rights in this preparation. Dr. Joseph N. Gardner, against whom charges were brought of unprofessional practice, for having gone over to home- opathy, seems to have disposed of the charges in a card, in which he says: “Hav- ing been convinced by ample clinical ob- servations of the superiority of homeopathy lover that of the old school I tendered my resignation of membership to the Medical Association and Medical Society of the District of Columbia some time since Hay- ing severed my connection with these or- ganizations of my own volition, and that | Laurenson, L.
