Trustees’ sale Sampson street, THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS Trustees Consider Prohibiting Con- certs and Entertainments. - OLD AND WORNOUT RULES A Lunch Company Wants to Fur- nish Meals. APPLICATIONS AND CHANGES A regular meeting of the board of trus- tees.of public schools was held at the Franklin building yesterday afternoon. There were present Messrs. Whelpley, Dar- lington, Harries, Hazen, Wilson, Cornish and Shadd and Mrs. Stowell. Mr. Falk acted as secretary, and opened the pro- ceedings by reading a long communication from a company proposing to establish in the public schools a system of furnishing light luncheons, consisting of wholesome food, including fruits and candies, to be sold at low prices, thus rendering it un- necessary for the children to bring their luncheons or to go out of the school build- ing for it. The business was to be con- ducted on a co-operative system and 15 per cent of the proceeds were to be devoted to some charitable purpose to be designated by the authorities. It was stated that a similar system exists in Boston. The propo- sition was originally made to the District Commissioners and was by them referred to the board. It looked like a good thing— for the projectors—but did not appeal vorably to the board, and on* motion of Mr. Harries, seconded by Mrs. Stowell, it was laid on the table until all the other dealers who might like to enjoy a similar monopoly of business in the public schools had been heard from. Memorial Day. On motion of Mr. Harries, the amend- ment to the rules offered at the last meet- ing making Memorial day a holiday in the public schools was adopted. Under the new rule when Washington's birthday, Memo- riak day and other public holidays fall on Thursday, the schools will be closed on that day and the following Friday. Mr. Harries said that the present rules for the government of the schools were made six years ago and were hardly suit- able for existing conditions in view of the many changes that had occurred in the school system in the interval. He advocat- ed a general revision of the rules, und sug- gested that the trustees consider the mat- ter individually, with a view to suggesting such changes as might tend to an improve- ment in the system. The proposition was favorably considered and will be again taken up at a future meeting. Absences and Applications. Leaves of absence granted the following .| named teachers were extended to the close of the present school year: S. E. Simons, E. W. Dyer, Blanche Caraway, H. B. Waiker, F. M. Merillat and M. C. Brown. The following applications for appoint- ment were placed on file: Teachers’ grade schools—Evelyn B. Smith, Ella M. Ford, Lillie Hotchkiss, Nina Chandler, Edith M. Denning. High School—Kate P. Babcock, Resa Stutz, F. Grace Smith, Sophie Hein, Frank Suter, Ellen A. Vinton, C. L. Parker, E. E. Severy, A. L. Gardiner, Estelle J. Conard, Edna McDowell, Carrie H. Me- Knight, Edward M. Hull, John P. O’Brien, Elizabeth M. Howell, Mrs. A. de Bausset, Rebecca Shanley, 0. P. De Witt, William A Case. Music—Mary L. Corby, Lena C. Freeman, Adelaide Ciements, Helen T. Mc- Keever.

F. Rogers, Isaac Mitchell, William Beckett, Daniel Briler, Prince A. Gcins and Arthur Stocker. It was announced that the following named teachers have been transferred from second division B to second division A on account of the transfer of the Twining School, to take effect May 1: Adelaide Davis, teacher of eighth grade, at $1,000 per annum; S. E. White, teacher of seventh grade, at $825; A. M. Getchell, teacher of sixth grade, at $775; M. I. Furmage, teacher of fifth grade, at’ $700; Elizabeth Caton, teacher of fourth grade, at $630; B. H. Caron, teacher of third. grade, at $550; Clare ‘Chapman, teacher of second grade, F. A. Reeves, teacher of first grade, t $425, “The following changes in the eighth di- vision were approved: Promote E, Wheeler, teacher third grade, to salary of $550; pro- mote S. E. Jackson from second to third grade, at salary of 3500; appoint Blanche E. George, teacher, at salary of $500, vice S. E. Jackson, promoted. Public Entertainments, Mr. Wilson called attention to the fact that the school children were to give public concerts on the 7th and 8th of June for the benefit of the Teachers’ Aid Furid, and said that while he did not wish to detract from the apparently laudable purpose of the en- tertainment, he was not altogether satisfied that it was a proper work for the school children to engage in. In order to test the sense of the board on the subject, however, he offered the following as an amendment to the rules: “The pupils of the schools shall not, as such, be permitted to engage in any concert or other public entertainment, where an sdmixsion fee is charged, unless the pro- ceeds thereof are for the direct benefit of the schools.” Mr. Darlington offered an amendment to the rules as follows: “Resolved, That application to pupils of the public schools, or to their parents, through them, through the issuance of cir- culars, tickets, subscription lists, or in any other manner, for contributions, or other aid, toward any purpose whatsoever, other than the purchase of books, musical instru- ments or other supplies for the schools themselves, and that the giving of concerts, fairs, lunches or other entertainments for money, in any school building, in aid of other purpose, are prohibited.” Under the rules of the board, the pro- posed amendments must lie over until the next regular meeting of the board, the second Tuesday in June, which is the eleventh day of the month. Inasmuch as the concerts referred to by Mr. Wilson are scheduled to take place on the 6th and 7th proximos, they will not be affected by the subsequent action of the board on the gen- eral subject. There was no discussion of the subject and no steps whatever were taken to interfere with the proposed con- certs, beyond what has been stated. Appointing Relatives. Mr. Darlington also offered another amendment to the rules, as follows: “Resolved, That, except in the case of normal school graduates and certificate holders, no appointment of any person re- lated by either consanguinity or affinity to any official connected in any capacity with the public schools shall be valid, unless the fact of such relationship is stated to the board of trustees at the time the nomina- tion of such person is ‘submitted to it for its action.” Laid over under the rules. Mr. Harries suggested the advantage of adding a yeat to the course at the Normal School, and said that the necessary addi- tional expense would be more than offset by the greater efficiency of the teachers. President Whelpley, Dr. Shadd, Mrs. Stowell and Superintendent Powell each spoke briefly in favor of the plan, but by general consent action was deferred for the present. <e Morning Fire. ‘The fire department was called out this morning shortly befoie 9 o'clock to a fire at 1308 14th street northwest. Some tin- ners on an adjoining roof with a soldering pot let some sparks get away and they set fire to the rocf. There was no damage. ——— New Trains to Philadelphia and New York.

The Government Printing Office Em- ployes Pushing the Civil Service Idea. A joint meeting of committees from the various unions interested in the proposed extension of the civil service rules over the government printing office was held last night at the Typographical Temple. Three representatives were present from International Printing Press Union, No. 1; Columbia Typographical Union, No. 101; Electrotypers’ Union, No. 17; the Women’s Bookbinders’ Union, No. 42, and the Stere- otypers’ Union, respectively, representing four-fifths of-the entire force employed in the government printing office and its nu- merous branches. Mr. J. J. Sullivan of the Typographical Union acted as chairman of the joint con- ference, and Mr. F. 8. Hayes of the Press- men’s Union as secretary. The confer- ence gesulted in the choice of a committee to see Public Printer Benedict and seek his indorsement of the proposition. This committee consists of J. J. Sullivan, rep- resenting the printers; George E. Gorman of the electrotypers, F. S. Hayes of the pressmen’s organization, and William J. Slater of the stereotypers. The ladies having but limited power in the matter, it being necessary for them to report back to their organization before accepting other duties, were not repre- sented on the committee. The representa- tives of the Women’s Bookbinders’ Union were Mrs. B. T. Boland and Misses Kate Smoot and Nannie Daniels. The movement seems sure te succeed. Those urging it are keeping it entirely out of politics. There are 3,000 employes in- terested in the project, and this embraces all the organizations in the government printing office, except the Bookbinders’ Union, which has taken no action on the matter. Se BENNING CITIZENS. Business Transacted at the Meeting Held: Last Night. f The sergeant-at-arms was the only officer absent when the president called the Ben- ning Citizens’ Association to order last evening, and after Secretary France read the minutes of ‘the last meeting, which were approved as read, the chairman of the road committee reported that the Co- lumbia railway folks had begun the work of paving Benning road from 15th to 16th street, and that the same would be com- pleted in a few days. Mr. S. R. Hipsley of the committee on engine house and water reported that he had seen the Union stock yard people, and that they were willing to have the stream that runs through their property dammed up, provided the same was done either at the expense of the Commissioners or of the association, whereupon the president instructed the committee to see the Com- missioners and request that they have the work done at the expense of the District, so as to provide plenty of water for use in case of tire. Mr. J. W. Framce, chairman of the spe- cial committee appointed to secure the new town hall, now in course of erection by Mr. Keyser, for a grand opening, reported that the committee had waited en Mr. Keyser, who promised to let the associa- tion dedicate the hall as soon as it was completed, and that there wouid be no charge for the same on that night. On motion of Mr. Mewshaw the report was accepted, Mr. Keyser was tendered a vote of thanks for his offer and the com- mittee was continued to secure a perma- nent meeting place for the association. "The special committee appointed to ex- amine the books reported that they had done tc same, and that there was owing the cssociation the sum of $53.70 in the shape of dues from members, and the financial secretary and treasurer were sub- sequently instructed to make a special ef- fort to collect the same. ‘On motion of Mr. Mewshaw the associa- tion then proceeded to elect a treasurer, the result being the selection of Mr. N. Keyser. Then, on motion of Mr. Keyser, Mr. S. R. Hipsley was ‘unanimously elected as financial secretary and authorized to use the credit of the association in the col- lection of outstanding dues. The question of what sort of an enter- tainment it would be best for the associa- tion to give when it dedicates the new hall was then taken up, and some vigorous -re- marks were made by Messrs. France, Hips- ley, Pickens, Dyre, Keyser and others, the result being that the matter was tabled for one week. After some unimportant matters were disposed of the meeting ad- journed. SS G. A. R. Memorial Services. A large number of the members and friends of Kit Carson Post, No. 2, assem- bled at the Luther Place Memorial Church lost Sunday evening, and joined in paying a tribute of respect to the memory of eleven comrades of that post who have died dur- ing the past year. The church was beauti- fully dedorated with the national colors and emblems of the G. A. R., appropriately draped in mourning, and the altar and chancel were banked with palms and flowers. Scripture reading and prayer by Post Chaplain E. C. Stevens was followed by the memorial address, delivered by Capt. Thos. H. McKee, who paid an eloquent tribute to the memory of the departed comrades. Rev. Dr. J. G. Butler, pastor, extended a hearty welcome to the visitors to his ehurch. During the evening the church choir, under the direction of Mr. John H. Seiffert, rendered appropriate music. — A Marine Corps Exhibition. The graduating class of the School of Ap- plication of the marine corps held its an- nual exhibition yesterday at the marine barracks. The exercises consisted of drills, ete., followed by a review and parade. The Marine Band rendered a program of popu- lar airs. Col. and Mrs. Heywood entertained many guests at headquarters. Secretary Herbert, Dr. and Mrs. Magruder, Gen. and Mrs. Ordway, Mr. and Mrs. Micou, Admiral and Mrs. Ramsay, Miss Ramsay, Capt. and Mrs. Chase, Misses Perry, Baker, Noyes and Hebb. —_—~_—__ Young Men’s League. The Young Men’s League of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church held its second regular monthly meeting last evening in the chapel of the church, with President E. G. Siggers in the chair and Asa Piper acting as secretary. Encouraging reports were read by the chairmen of the various committees, showing that although the league is but a month old it already has a flattering membership and its affairs are in a prosperous condition. The following gentiemen compose the various committees: Executive, E. G. Siggers, president; R. A. Balderson, vice president; Russell Barnes, treasurer, and George W. Stose, secretary. Press, Wm. B. Stokes, M. A. Carleton and C. W. Shelton. Finance, Wm. B. Cragg, Howard Barnes and Wilfred Thompson. Program, Russell Barnes, Ottmer Saum, R. A. Balderson and C. L. Reynolds. Visiting, J. G.

Cardinal Gibbons is going to Rome. ‘Thursday the cardinal expects to be pres- ent at the golden jubilee of Archbishop Williams in Boston, and from there he re- turns to New York and sails for Havre in company with Bishop Foley of Detroit, Rev. C. F. Thomas and Very Rev. J. R. Slattery, president of St. Joseph’s Semin- ary. It is said that no special significance attaches to the cardinal’s visit to the eter- nal city, but it is simply in accord with a common practice of church officials who visit the vatican as often as the cares of office will permit. It has been about eight years since the cardinal has visited Rome. It is expected that he will return to Balti- .More about the Ist of September. ———_ A Thenter Suggestion. To the Editor of The Evening Star: Now that the ladies have adopted bandeaux and Dutch bonnets for the theater, will you kindly allow them to state their grievance. Custom has sanctioned light gloves for evening wear, the price of which vary from $1.50 to $3.50. If a lady wishes to look at a program it can only be done at the expense of the gloves, as the margin is covered with adveriisements that smear them with ink. Could we not have the right margin clean, white paper? Our evening would then be a lasting pleasure, as our gloves would be clean enough to wear again, and we would not be obliged to purchase a pair whenever we wished to attend, A.C. C. Among them were‘ NATIONAL UNIVERSITY. Annual Commenceméné and Young Doctors Grasddmted. Last night the annuakwommehcement of the medical and dental degartments of the National University took aplace at Metze- rott’s Hall. Although yougg in years, the showing made by the cofege last night re- flects great credit upon its supporters. It was the fifth commeneement, and all agreed the most successfuiever held. The hall was well filled and presented a pretty appearance. Hung fromuthe proscenium was a huge shield made 20f cape flowers and displaying the coloraof the university, with the initials N. U.-orked in yellow. ‘The stage was profusely decorated with palms, and a number of chandsome bou- quets for the successful graduates took the place of footlights. On the stage, at the right,sat the faculty, which included Drs. J. Wesley Bovee, J. T. Winter, H. H. Barker, Louis Kolipinski, M. F. Thompson, Geo. C. Ober, W. M. Sprigg, . Olin Leech, Rosier Middleton, T. N. Mc- Laughlin, W. J. Newton, Thos. Wilson, Wm. H. Wilmer, C. T. Caldwell, A. J. Hall, Wm. D. Bigelow, A. D. Cobey and J. R. Walton. The graduates sat on the left. Ex-Mayor M. G. Emery took the place of Judge McArthur, chancellor of the uni- versity, who was not present on account of ill health. Rev. Josiah B. Perry offered a prayer, and the regular exercises began. Prof. Wm. Mercer Sprigg made the address to the graduates, and it was full of good information and advice. Ex-Mayor Emery then conferred degrees of M. D. and D. D. S. upon the following: Graduates in medi- cine—Harry Jerome Allen, Liewellyn F. Davis, Frank Douglas Magnus, Ella M. S. Marble, Alfred Rowe Penniman, Ella Frances Reyburn, Eugenia Reyburn, Chas. St. V. Zimmerman. Graduates in dentistry— Harry Jerome Allen, Llewellyn F. Davis, Harry Porter Davis, William W. Hodges, Frank Douglas Magnus, Albert E. McCon- nell, Ambler A. Marsteller, William D. Monroe, Nora Moyer. The valedictory was delivered by Harry Jerome Allen. ———=__ AN OFFICIAL MINISTER. One of the Present Needs at the Police Court. Prosecuting Attorney Mullowny thinks that owing to the number of arrests under the Utah act and the subsequent marriages an official minister should be appointed for the Police Court. During the past two weeks six persons found living together and arrested have been married in court, while six others were married after their release. There were several others who refused to get married, and they either paid fines or are now in jail. This morning there were four cases in- volving charges of violating this act, and most of the prisoners were willing to get married, but they were not released for this purpose. In one case Frank L. Mackall and Delia Cook, colored, who were arrested Saturday night by Policeman Duvall were charged with adultery. This charge was made because of the fact that the woman is married. They have been living to- gether at No. 156 Pierce street northwest. Judge Miller held them for the grand jury, ind sent them to jail in default of $300 ‘bail. A white man named Augustus Dix and Jennie Lucas, his colored companion, next appeared. They live in a tent on 7th street near the O street market and sell candy. Jennie was very much surprised when she learned that there was a law covering the offense charged against her, but Judge Miller told her that the-lesson would cost her $10 or thirty days, ‘Dix was similarly fined. Charles Johnson and Frafices Hurd were arrested at No. 32 Jackson street north- east yesterday, and he was willing to com- mit the more serious offense of bigamy to get out of his trouble,} He is a married man, so it is alleged, while Frances is not married. The court fined the woman $10 or thirty days, and instructed the attorney to make a further investigation so far as the man is_ concerned. Charles Young and Susan Saunders were defendants in the fourth case. They were willing to get married, but the court im- posed a fine of $10 or thirty days on them. DAUGHTERS OF 'THE KING. Next Meeting of the Council ta. Re Held in This City.= | The second annual convention of the Maryland Council of the Daughters of the King was held yesterday at the Episcopal Memorial Church of All Saints, corner of Baltimore and Monroe streets, Baltimore. Mrs. W. G. Davenport of Anacostia, presi- dent, was in the chair. Her report was submitted and approved. It showed that during the past year the membership of the order had been largely increased, five new chapters having been added. She also stated the order had received a donation of fourteen lots at Colonial Beach for the pur- pose of establishing a home for orphans, and that Bishop Paret and his wife had contributed $300 toward the building fund. It was decided to establish in connection with the Daughters of the King a society to be known as “The Messengers of the King,” composed of young boys and girls. The following officers were elected: Pres- ident, Mrs. W. G. Davenport; vice presi- dent, Mrs. Fletcher; secretary and treas- urer, Mrs. Lillan K. Groome; assistant secretary, Mrs. C. B. Stephen; advisory board, Mrs. Taylor Jenkins, Mrs. Denmead, Mrs, Tongue. It was decided to hold the next meeting of the council at St. Stephen’s Church, Washington. | ROYAL } + BAKING POWDER aera eee i sSoatoeferoateetecgoatwesectontectentoeteege = sete sooo ogee Sets set 2, eet asseaeeseouecoseas SOSSSOCOS8 seogeey ie ee & Absolutely Pure. $ + 53 A cream of tartar baking powder.

Members of the Club and Their Guests i Feast on Planked Shad. ‘The members of the famous Gridiron Club made a change in their methods last evening and instead of having a dinner in town, as they usually do in winter time, they went down to Marshall Hall and spent the jolliest kind of a time at that de- lightful outing place. They abandoned the gridiron for the time being and adopted the oak plank as their cooking utensil,with the result that when they sat down to the table in the big dining hall they were served with large numbers of planked shad, which pleased them mightily. At the dinner President Stevens acted as toast- master in his usual felicitous style, and as it happened to be the birthday of Col. McKibben, the host of Marshall Hall, many references were made _ to the pleasant coincidence. During the din- ner the Gridiron Quartet furnished a choice Program of music, and Major Stofer also sang with great effect. Coming home on the steamer Mr. Stevens.turned the gavel over to Vice President W. E. Annin, and that bright and witty gentleman kept things moving at a liveiy pace until the wharf was reached. The attendance was not confined to the club membership, but a number of guests, including ladies, went along to enjoy the fun. Among them were the rollowing: Paymaster General Stanton, Dr. Guy Edie, Maj. Muhlenberg, Lieut. Smiley, Mrs, John M. Carson, Miss Carson, Mrs. L. A. Coolidge, Mr. George C. Balch, Mrs. P. V.

I have prescribed your CUTICURA on several occasions, and it has never failed to give good results. I remember of one special case I had, where all other remedies failed until I tried your CUTICURA REMEDIES. After using CUTICURA, CUTICURA SOAP and CUTICURA RESOLVENT the patient was sound and well. She was troubled with salt rheum and had been a sufferer for over twenty years. After beginning the use of CUTICURA REMEDIES she was cured sound and Well in three months. DR. M. K.
