Soc For Percale, Madras and Cheviot Shirts in attrne- tive designs. Most merchants say: “Warranted fast colors.” We say no colored shirt is absolutely fast color unless properly laundered. These at 50c are woven, not printed colors, and, therefore, as in- delible as "tis possible to make them. When laun- dered they sell elsewhere at $1. 75¢ . For the Fancy Percale and Cheviot Shirts with un- shrinkable neckbands, and $1 for Madras Shirts, which are the best; like those Idundered that sell for $2 at most stores. $1.50 For French Flannel Shirts with unshrinkable neck- band. The enormous quantities bought and sold at fittle profit, linked with the decrease im the tariff on imported wool goods, and our willingness to gtve you the benefit means $1.50 for flannel shirts heretofore sold here at $2,—at $2.25 elsewhere.

ROLICE COURT CASES Lined Up Before Judge Kimball This Morning, id Don’t Get Anything to Eat Until Late im the Day—Sentences Siang Imposed. Complaint comes from the prisoners who are taken to the Police Court at short in- tervals for violating the municipal ordi- mances or some more serious infraction of law that their prison experience is made a hardship because their cases are not called until late in the morning, and they are de- prived of food for so long a time. Judge Kimball's court does not convene until 9:30 o’clock, and frequently it is later than this hour when the judge takes his seat on the bench. Prisoners arrested fn the afternoon or evening are not always fed, and the re- sult is that many of them suffer the pangs of hunger a number of hours, and in-the morning they are on exhibition some little time -before their cases are called. When Judge Snell held court it was seldom later than 9 o'clock when court convened, and the prisoners were generally sent down in time for dinner on the farm. This morning Judge Kimball's procession was made up of nine colored men, three colored females and three white men. Hugh Dermody, a resident of Cincinnati, headed the procession, and said “guilty” when arraigned on a charge of drunk and disorderly. “But I would like to make a statement,” he added. ‘What is it?” asked the court. ‘Well, judge, your honor,” said the man from the buckeye state, “I drank too much yesterday, the first time in eleven years, and I’m sorry for it. I have a bad place in tay head, and when I drink it sets me crazy.” “I've never seen a man yet who érinks liquor, “‘said the court, “who wasn’t crazy. ae worst place to take liquor is ia the e The prisoner said he stopped here cn his way to Baltimore, and got to drinking with @ man named Peyton. Policeman Laurenceson told the court of how for two hours last night the Ohic man entertained the officers in the station. He made so much noise that it was necessary to close the sagt a order that the officers might get some sl — Kimball took the man’s personal Charies Carroll, a colored man, wearing a Grand Army uniform and badge, said “guilty” to a charge of disorderly conduct, and asked for time to pay his fine. “I am not giving time now,’ said the judge. “But the officer will vouch for me,” Plead the colored man. “If the officer will vouch for you to pay the fine today,” said the judge, “I will give you the tim “I'll do it,” said the officer, and Carroll went home to get the amount of fine. Across the Branch. Anacostia and Hillsdale figured in the next two cases called, the former being represented by a young man named Robert Quinn, who plead guilty to a charge of disorderly @onduct and stepped back. Dennis Tinney, a colored man, was charged with having violated the law in Hiilsdale. The proof was that the offense was com- mitted in Stanton town, but this did not affect the court’s decision. “I found Dennis’ horse on my” place,” said an old man named James Joyce, “and I locked the animal in my stable.” He charged that Dennis broke the lock from his stable and took the horse. “I took the horse,” said Dennis, “but I didn’t break the lock.” Joyce, he said, wanted him to pay $5 for the horse, which he refused to do. He was fined $2. “Guilty,” answered J. H. Knight, a col- cred man against whom was a charge of disorderly. “The court fines you five dollars,” said the clerk. Douglass Tascoe, a colored man who drinks liquor and gets in trouble more than once a month, went through Jackson alley yesterday and got in trouble. “When he was locked up,” said the policeman, “he made so much noime that he had to be put in the dungeon.” An Olé Affair. Rachael Robinson, an old offender, was tried for vagrancy because of her conduct in the “Diviston.” ‘I don’t Ive there no more,” said Ra- chael. “I live in Goat alley, and only go down there to see my old friends.” Judge Kimball took her personal bonds, because she promised to keep out of the Division. Dennis Matthews, a colored cart driver, came near colliding gf another vehicle yesterday, and when profane and threw stones Policeman Mitchell ar- rested him. Five dollars. A little colored girl named Ella Fletcher was in the procession on a charge of va- grancy, and Br H. C. Russell was the prin- aS witness against her. been begging about the Shore- one said the doctor, “and she’s become @ regular nuisance. She’s out there at all hours of the night and is on a fair road to go to the devil as fast as a girl can trot.” Her mother told the court that Ella help- ed her at home. “I have nine children,” said the woman, “and when I go out to work I leave her at home to look after the younger ones.” It was stated that the girl's brother also begged, and Judge Kimball said he thought the mother sent them out to beg. He said he would send her to the reform school if there is room there for her. A colored man named George Waters was given a hearing on a charge of vagrancy and suspicion because he was found in an alley near 9th and I streets, where several petty thefts have been committed recently. “He was found sleeping in a wagon,” said @ witness, “‘and he said he would just as soor kill a man as not.” “For what were you here the last time?” the court asked the prisoner. “For knocking a man in the head with a brick in South Washington,” was his re- onse. “And what was the charge against you the time before that?” “Fighting.” He said he had been in jail four times for fighting, and = been in the work- house once. A sentence of ten days was imposed. John Fitzgerald plead guilty to a charge of disorderly conduet in a police station. “He was found asleep on a doorstep,” said Sergt. Dunnigan, “‘and was sent to the station to get sober. While locked up he used the vilest language tmaginable.” “Ten dollars,” said the court. The other prisoners were charged with disorderly conduct, and fines were imposed. ——.__ 2 An Assault Case. Andrew Beach, a saloon keeper, who ts in business on New Jersey avenue north- west between L and M streets, was tried In the Police Court today for having as- saulted a colored man, named Frank Mayo, on the 26th of last month. The col- ored man was intoxicated on the day in question and Policeman Heller saw him when he drove along Pennsylvania avenue. He was driving at such a fast rate of speed that the officer was unable to overtake him. At 2d street he turned north and did not stop until he reached the saloon. Then he had some trouble with the saloon keeper and the Jatter struck him on the head with a beer faucet, inflicting an injury which necessitated his removal to the hospital. Today he was apparently well enough to go to court and give evidence against the man who had so severely injured him. Judge Miller heard all the proof and im- posed a fine of $25 and costs. The colored man then started home, but was so sick that he had to stop at a bar- ber shop near the court until he recovered from the effects of a weak spell, and then he went home. a The Gripman Kept His Wits. Cable car No. 6 was struck this morning, at 14th and Clifton streets, by a loaded cart, drawn by a mule. The cart was driven by owner John Griffin, colored, who al- lowed the mule to go half a square ahead of him. The mule took a quick turn and started across the track just ahead of a down car. The gripman was wide awake and stopped the car before the hasty mule had time to jar the passengers or smash the car. The mule was tirned over on his back, but was soon released without in- jury. The car was slightly injured, but no passengers were hurt. JUST AT THIS SEASON. What ts It That So Strangely Effects People New Dayst “There is am epidemic of tired feelings at this time of the year.”” ‘The speaker was 2 prominent man. “This weather is very exhausting,” he added, “and even the strongest people feel its debilitating effects. _ “There are few men er women who do not get up in the morning with a sense of exhaustion and & desire for more -rest. his,” he said, “‘shows that the system is in a low condition and needs stimulating. To overcome this weary: condition I know of nothing better than the use of a pure whikky, because tt quickens the blood and purifies the body as nothing else can do.” It should be remembered. however, that there ts only one pure whisky recommended by physicians, and that is Duffy's Pure Malt. It ts unlike all other whiskies, being entirely free from impurities and adulterants. That is why it is universally prescribed for medical use. It is healthful because it stimulates without depressing, aids digestion and iirparts fresh vitality. Generally and more benefl- clal, however, it soothes and rests and brings con- soling quiet to the routine of life. Under no circumstance permit any druggist or srocer to deceive you on these points, for they are truths which have been proven im the history of hundreds of men and women. School Economy. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Taxpayer No. 1 is happy to welcome te the company of the real friends of our pub- He schools such an intelligent critic as Taxpayer No. 2. For the benefit of our schools, Taxpayer No. 2 will do well if he should centinue his investigations and sug- gestions until the eyes of the people are opened fully, to see the real condition ‘and the demands for a more efficient and eco- nomical management of our schools. You, Mr. Editor, have very properly sug- ested that “there may well be a question as to whether our public school structure is not somewhat top-heavy.” Yes, indeed, we are building our “school structure” stx- teen and twenty stories high, upon a poor and rickety foundation; but it should ever be borne in mind that the most thorough and the best work must always be at the bottom of every structure. The primary schools are at the bottom of our school structures. Here, more than anywhere else, is skill, judgment and ex- perience needed. z The two following propésitions can be easily demonstrated, and they will be ac- cepted by every experienced and well-in- formed educator: First, a primary pupil needs more and better instruction, and more personal as- sistance, than a high school pupil. Second, the teacher of such 2 pupil needs more experience, better judgment and skill than the teacher of a high school. It is true that these propositions conflict with general practice in other cities, as well as our own. A corollary to these pro- Ppasitions is that properly qualified primary teachers should be as well paid as the average teachers of the high school. It has been asserted, and it is probably true, that large numbers of the pupils in our high schcols, coming from the lower grades, are seriously deficient in ability to read and spell the English language, simply because of defective trairing in the p. grades. As a consequence of this deficiency the teachers of the high schools are com- pelled to do work which ought to have been done in the lower grades, or else send their pupils forth, imperfectly qualified, to be @ discredit to the high schools. This state of things arises from two- causes: First, many of the teachers of the lower grades are the youngest and most inex~ perienced of the teachers. Second, even the best of the lower grade teachers are often loaded down with so many kinds of work and with so much empiricism, that they cannot find time to do as well as they know how; nor as well as would do, if they were not tram- meled. The real business of the high schoot should be: First, to furnish such instruo tion in the n branches of school education as cannot, for ong of time, be given efficiently in the eight lower —— Second, to fit pupils for entering professional course of studies, Thi to eo them for the college or for the univer- y.
