REVISING THE RULES Changes in the Line of Civil Service Reform Suggested. DISCUSSED BY SCHOOL TRUSTEES Flag Cay to Be Properly Observed in the Schools. NO MORE PUBLIC CONCERTS 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, Hazen, Harries, Wilson, Witmer, Bruce, Cornish, Shadd, Mrs. Stowell and Mrs. Ter- rell. Two communications were received by reference from the District Commissioners in regard to the observance of “Flag day” next Friday in the public schools. One was from the goveivor of Maryland sug- gesting that the singing of the “Star Spangled Banner’’ be included in the pub- lic school exercises of that day, and that the children and their parents be encourag- ed to assist by contributions to the project for the erection of a suitable monument to Francis Scott Key, the author of the hymn, at his birthplace, Frederick, Md. The other ccmmunication was from a committee of the Women’s Relief Corps, G. A. RK. It also urged a patriotic observance of the day in all the public schcols, and recommended the “Balch salute” to the flag as part of the exercises. It was staied that arrangements had be2n already made to have the national flag made the special lesson of the day on Fri- day next, and that there was no necessity for further action on the subject, it being regarded as desirable to leave the details of the exercises in the hands of the super- irtendent. No action was taken on the siggestion that contributions be solicited for the Key monument fund. ‘Teacher’ Applications and Changes. ‘The resignation cf Mary G.

The committee on text books recom- mended that Mills’ arithmetic be substi- tuted for Fickling’s as a text book in the schools; adopted. Important Changes in the Rules Sug- gested. Mr. Harries, from the special committee appointed to revise the rules, submitted a report recommcnding a number of changes caleulated to simplify the system, and make the rules conform to the many im- provements that have been made tn it since they were formulated, many years ego. Several new rules were recommended. One of these reads as follows: “The committee on drawing and night s shall repert to the board, after full into those subjects, such = y be deemed advantagéous to the schools. They shall direct and super- vise the instruction in those departments.” The most important change recommended, how , Was a new rule, which is as fol- lows: “Appointments of teachers in the High and Normal schools, and of teachers in the spec. studies in the graded schools, shall be made by the board upon the recom- mendation of the board, in committee of the whole. Nominations of candidates shall be filed ith the board only by members therecf. At such times and places as the board may direct examinations of candi- dates shall be held, and from the two com- petitors having the highest percentages on the eligible lists resulting from the exam- inations appointment shall be made by the board, in the manner specified. The ex- amirations shall be thoroughly practical in their character, and shall be conducted under the direct supervision of the board.” In the Line of Civil Service Reform. Mr. Harries explained that the changes suggested were strictly in accord with civil service reform, and he said he wus confident that their adoption would con- tribute materially to the general welfare of the schools. Heretofore appointments were made by the board on the recommendation of committees, and the question of the ent candidates did net fore the board at all. It is now pro- posed that the board itself, as a commitiee shal have a more direct nations and appoint- thought, would re- a better class of teachers and was suggested as a measure in the real interests of the schools. The rules as revised were ordered pri ed for consid ing.

Aguinst Public Entertainments, ‘The board then took up for consideration the amendment to the rules proposed by Mr. Wilson at the last meeting, prohibiting | the children of the public ing concerts dr other public entertain- ments except for the direct benefit of the schoolz. The question was debated by Mr. Harries, Mr. Wilson, Dr. Witmer, Dr. hools from giv- Shadd and Mr. Bruce, and finally resulted in the adoption of the following rule, sug- gested by Mr. Wilson: “The pupils of the schools shall not, as such, be permitted to engage in any con- cert or public entertainment, where an ad- mission fee is charged, except when oth2r- wise ordered by the board of trustees.” The amendment to the rule giving the board discretionary power in the matter was secured by Mr. Harries in the interest ef the Teachers’ Aid Association. He paid a high tribute to the valuable services ren- dered by that society in helping the school system by providing for superannuated teachers and in other ways, and said he desired to go on record as be:ng solidly in favor of encouraging the good work the society is engaged in as contributing to the real benefit of the schcols. Tencherws’ Aid Association Indorsed. In that connection he offered a resolution “that the board of school trustees’ of the District of Columbia heartily indorse the ef- forts of the Teachers’ Aid Association and recommend the association to the public.” The resolution was seconded by Mr. Wil- son and was adopted without a dissenting voice. At this point Mrs. Terrell called atten- tion to the fact that the colored schools of the District had arranged to give a con- cert at Convention Hall for the purpose of raising funds to defray ‘the expenses of their exhibit at the Atlanta exposition. She inquired whether the new rule applied to that concert. Being informed that it might be so construed, she offered a reso- lution that the board author‘ze the proposed concert. The resolution was unanimously adopted and the meeting adjourned. ——— AMUSEMENTS. “American Assurance.”—The double bill being presented by Frederic Bond and Company at the Grand Opera House this week is attracting large and brilliant au- diences at every performance. “My Aw- ful Dad,” with Mr. Bond in his favorite character of Adonis Evergreen, and the curtain radser “Romeo's First Love,” with Miss Blancke Walsh in the character of “Romeo,” form the most pleasing and en- jcyable evening's entertainment yet pre- sented by that strong combination of play- ers. For the eighth week of the comedy season, beginning rext Monday, the com- pany will be seen in a new three-act com- edy, “American Assurance.” Seats on sale tomorrow morning. ee Was a Gentleman. “That's not his name," said Judge Kim- ball this morning, when a tall, shabbily dressed victim of alcohol appeared under the name of Charles King, and plead guilty of a charge of drunk and disorderly. “His name is Walter King,” the judge added. “You are right,” said the prisoner, who added that he would like to make a state- ment. “T'll hear what you have to say,” said the judge. ‘“‘What is it?” “I don’t deny anything charged against me,” he said, “and I only came here from Winchester two days ago. I’m known to be a gentleman, but yesterday I got to drinking and took one glass too much.” “You may be a gentleman,” said Judge Kimball, “but you are falling from grace very fast.” “But, judg interrupted the prisoner, “if you will let me go for two or three days i'll thank you.” Policeman Carlison told the court of the prisoner's intoxicated condition last night, and said he was very disorderly. He was sent down for two weeks, in de- fault of fine. ———__ Atlanta Exposition. An organization of a joint committee com- posed of the special committee of ladies and the delegates appointed by the Dis- trict Commissione-s to represent the Dis- trict at the Atlanta exposition was effected yesterday afternoon, H. F. Blount being elected chairman, Conrad H. Syme secre- tary, Mrs. Robert L. Barrett corresponding secretary, and Mrs. T. W. Smith treasurer. The offer of the board of trade tendering the committee the use of its rooms in the Ames building was accepted. In a discus- sion of matters pertaining to the Dis- trict’s exhibit at Atlanta the sentiment was developed that everything possible should be done to make a most creditable showing, and a subcommittee was appointed to re- port to the committee, after full investiga- tion, the scope of the intended exhibt. The joint commission is composed of the fol- lowinj H. F. Blount, Thomas W. Smith, T. A. Lambert, Conrad H. Syme, Jesse B. Wilson, H. K. Willard, T. W. Birney, W. B. Powell, Mrs. J. H. McGill, Mrs. R. L. Bar- rett, Mrs. A. A. Lancaster, Mrs. Tullock, Mrs. J. J. Edson and Mrs. A. A. Birney. —— Hurt by the Noise. Efhe, the daughter of Wm. C. Grinder, living at 468 C street southwest, is lying critically ill with brain fever. Next door, at 470 C street, a house is being con- structed by Thomas Ruppert and Henry Schneider, and the noise of the work of construction so injuriously affects the con- dition of the sick girl that her father yes- terday applied to the Equity Court for an order restraining the parties building. Judge Cox granted a temporary restrain- ing order, returnable next Saturday. In support of the petition for the injunction, the affidavits of two physicians were filed by the complainant. The latter stated that failing in other remedies, he was obliged to seek the aid of the court, and believes that if the work is suspended for a week his daughter will fully reccver. od Against the Hamilton House. To enforce a judgment creditors’ bill of $1,462.40, Messrs. G. G. Cornwell have filed a bill in equity against Wm. M. Gilson, proprietor of the Hamiiton House, 14th and K streets. The complainants say that sev- eral suits at law have been filed against Mr. Gilson, and they state that the chat- tels in the house have been appraised at $4,280.69, those in the annex at $683.75, horse and carriages at $1,050, and the equi- table interest in the real estate at $22,800. ‘They therefore ask for a sale of the same, they claiming that the defendant is in- solvent.

John Benstead, the fifteen-year-old boy who accidentally shot hid companion, John Resor, through the forehead with a parlor rifle on Tuesday afternoon near the school house on the Conduit road, above the dis- |.tributing reservoir, has been ina highly nervous condition ever since. He has not slept at all, and is frequently attacked with hysteria. His mother, too, has been greatly affected, and fears are entertained that her system will break down through the shock. Young Resor‘s condition is becoming alarm- ing. Grave fears are entertained. It is re- ported that paralysis of the brain is set- ting in. The parlor rifle bullet entered his forehead and has not been located. The rifle went off while Benstead was explain- ing its working to Resor. The boy fell as it went off. Benstead hastened to assist him to his feet, but the victim of the acci- dent arose unaided and went into his home. No one was at home then, and the wound did not receive, in consequence, immediate attention. Intense interest is being mani- fested in the affair in the region of che homes of the two boys. An Accident. Wm. Folk while driving yesterday for J. H. Johnson met with a serious accident. In attempting to turn his wagon in a nar- row space the vehicle turned over, carry- ing him beneath it. His right leg was caught and crushed, and his knee and ankle fractured. The horse did not attempt to run away, luckily, or in all probability fatal results would have followed. Folk is nineteen years of age. He was taken to the Emergency Hospital for treatment. Route Abnndoned. The Washington and Arlington road’s original route to the national cemetery has been abandoned in the main, and a straight cut is beirg made to that objective point. The line being followed is that of the old narrow gauge road to Alexandria, which was projected years ago, but which never ma. lized. The new route is through a pleasant ravine. The line of the original road extended over a series of heavy hills, and the rails described a full semicircle in reaching the route’s terminus. Notes. There were two arrests here yesterday. Annie Foley was one of the victims and Geo. E. Sherwood the other. The first had “vegrancy” written opposite her name on the blotter, and her contemporary, “in- toxication. David F.

Last July sores broke out on my Imbs, so that at one time there were twenty. By Decem- ber I was so poorly my people thought. I could not live long. My son brought me a bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and after taking it for one week I felt so much better that I put all my confidence . in the medicine and continued with it. In a short time I could walk all around the room with more ease than for several months. My appetite improved rapidly. I have taken six bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla and cheerfully recommend it to all suf- fering fiom impure blood. I cannot speak too highly of Hood’s Sarsaparilla, for I know its medicinal powers.”” Mrs. 8. BL EATCH, Licking, Missouri. te HOOD'S PILLS act harmoniously with Hcod’s Sarsaparilla, 25c.

A SUFFERING CHILD. HEAD AND SCALP RAW WITH PLACES SIZE OF SILVER DOLLAR. VARIGUS REMEDIES ONLY CAUSED FRESH ERUPTIONS. APPLIED CUTI- CURA. CHANGE IN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS. PERFECT CURE IN TWO WEEKS. My little son, aged three, was very much troubled with a breaking cut on his scalp and behind his ear. The places affected were about as large as a silver dollar; the flesh seemed raw and covered with little blisters. ‘The child suffered consider- I tried sey- eral remedies without obtaining any beneficlal re- ably, and was naturally very fretful. sults; in fact, the eruptions seemed to be spread- ing and new places breaking out. I concluded to try the CUTICURA REMEDIES. I washed the affected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP, taking care not to irritate the flesh, and applied CUTT- CURA. I noticed a change for the better in the appearance of the eruptions in twenty-four hours, and in,two weeks the eruptions entirely disappear- ed, leaving the skin smooth and the scalp clean; in fact, a perfect cure, as I have not seen any indi- cations of any eruption or breaking out since. I gave the child only a few doses of the CUTICURA RESOLVENT. I consider your CUTICURA REME- DIES very valuable. I believe CUTICURA would be excellent for applying to Insect bites, which are very annoying in this country. ©. A. ARMSTRONG, Swift Island, N. C.
