This at least was the case in 1892-3, says the annual report of Dr. W. T. Harris, United States commissioner of education. Tho statistics are for those years, and show there were 15,083,630 pupils enrolled in schools, colleges and various institutions of learning. This is 22.5 per cent of the papu- lation, and an increase of 370,697 over the preceding school year. There were in tie common schools of the country 13,510,719 scholars. Two-fifths of these pupils leave school for a part of the year to work. For theie teaching there were employed 122, male teachers and 260,054 females. Sin 1870 men teachers have lessened in nuin- ber and women teachers have increased. Of school houses there are—or were in_1S!2 — 235,426, worth, with contents, $398,435,0% School revenue that year was $165,000,000, and outgo $16%,000,000, of which $104,000,000 was paid to teachers. ENTHUSIASTIC FOR CUB The Government Asked to Recognize the Insurgents. As much of the population of Chicago as could find entrance to the auditorium of the Central Music Hall and the Y. M. C. A. builcing in Chicago last night shouted it- self hoarse in approbation of a series of resolutions in which the United States gov- ernment was asked to recognize the Cubans as belligerents. Mayor Swift presided at the main meeting, in Central Music Hall, while Judge William A. Vineent was chai: man of the overflow meeting in the 4 elation building. The seventy-five vice presidents who occupied seats on the plat- forms were chosen from among the leading business men of the city, and each one of them had previously expressed himself as in full accord with the object of the meet- ings. Before the speaking began copies of telegrams from a number of gentlemen who could not be present were read. The first of these was from Governor John P. Alt- geld, and its ringing words called forth cheer after cheer. Other telegrams were from Representative George E. Adams, Beas Wilkinson Call of Florida and Geo. eck. All of the speakers addressed both meet- ings. They were: Rev. F. W. Gunsaulus, W. J. Hynes, Rev. P._S. Henson, John Mayo, Palmer, Thomas B. Bryan, William E. Mason and E. B. Sherman. When Gonzales de Quesada, secretary of the Cuban revolutionary party of the United States, and Q. A. Zayas, another prominent Cuban, stepped upon the plat- form at Central Music Hall, the enthusiasm of the audience knew no bounds, and it was some minutes before order was re- stored. The Rev. Dr. W. H. Thomas. read the resolutions. which were adopted as by cne mighty voice. | —___++. A Story of Mystery. Do you know what a “Story of Mystery” is? It is a continued story of which all but the last chapter Is printed, and then guesses are made as to the solution, then the final installment is printed. On October seventh a most Interesting mystery story, “When the War Was Over,” will be started in The Star, and five hundred dollars will be given for the first absolutely correct solution. In case no guess is abso- lutely correct the amount will be divided among those nearest to a correct solution. The guesses will be confined to women read- ers.

This is the second time the officer has been condemned, but in the -first case the President refused to approve the recom- j mendation for retirement because he was not satisfied with the medical report in the case. Chief Engineer Magee is another of the many victims to overwork In the naval engineer corps.

Lillinn Rus«cll Presents “The Tzig- to x Big Audicnce—Manuger A ugh’s Brief Address. Net what it will be when all the finishing touches have been completed, but still a beautiful building, splendidly arranged for the comfort of the eudience, handsome as to color and tints and brilliant as to its plan of electric lights, the rew Lafayette Square Opera House threw open its doors to the public last night under very favor- able auspices. The public responded in the most genercus manner, and not only was every seat from orchestra te top gallery filled, Lut nearly all the standing room was appropriated, many ladies being included in the number who stood up during the entire performance. The gathering was representative - of Washington's cosmopolitan population and included members of the different foreign legations, cabinet ministers and those in efficial and business life. The feminine por- tion of the eudience displayed some bril- lant costumes, and in the boxes and on the lower ficor the gentlemen were gener- ally in the conventional evening dress. It was an audience that was evidently de- termined to be pleased, and, though there vas some coldness during the earlier part of the evening, applause and encores were frequent later on. It was a happy arrangement by Mr. Al- baugh that Lillian Rvesell showed delicate bis new opera house. Miss Russell is very popular in this city, and she occupies the front rank, both as a singer and an actress in comnie opera. She is besides a very beautiful woman, and she dresses with rare gocd taste and richness. The opera select- ed for the first performance in this new place of amusement was De Koven and Smith's latest success, “La Tzigane,” which was written especialy for Miss Russell, and which is adapted to her capabilities, both in the vocal score and in the book. While Mr. De Kove1 has composed better music John W. Albaugh. than is found in “Tzigane” he is generally consistent in his attempt to preserve the we'rd Russian character of his themes, although some of the most melodic num- bers savor of a far different nationality. He has given Miss Russell all the work she wants to do, and to her are assigned the best efforts in every act. Her first solo is not so satisfying as It should be, and the work of the star fell coldly upon the audience, for the author seemed to be striving for something which he did not get; but the duet with Mr. Hoff, the septet and chorus in the finale to the first act, the ensemble at the close of the second act, the basic theme being the Rus- sian national hymn; the waltz song, “For Love Will Come and Love Wing;” with quartet accompaniment in the same act, the duet with Mr. Ling In the last act, and the last chorus roused the audience out of its apparent indifference, and many of these numbers had to be repeated. Messrs. Abbcy, Schoeffel and Grau have surrounded Miss Russell with a large and competent company. Mr. Ed Hoff, a Wash- ington boy, by the way, who is pleasantly remembered for his former excellent work with the McCaul and Bestonian opera com- panies, makes a manly looking Kazimir, and sings his role with artistic effect. Mr. Richie Ling had but one cpportunity to dis- play a really good tenor voice, and that was in a duet in the last act. Miss Flora Finlayson, also formerly with the Bos- tonians, proved herself a good actress in the part of Maryska, and her fine contralto yoice was heard to excellent advantage in the one good solo she has in the last act. There #re three comedians—Fred. Solo- mon, Ch Wayne and Joseph Herbert— and they get all the fun possible out of their representative parts. Wayne and Herbert particularly convulse the audience in a drunken scenc, and -the former is an acrovat of good abilitics. Marie Celeste made quite a good part out of Ninetta, and the mincr characters were all well taken. The chorus is large and efficient, the ladies being comely as io face and shapely as to figure. The opera is splendidly mounted, the scenery being very elaborate and the costumes gorgeous. The orchestra, under the buton of Paul Steindorff, performed its part well, and the whole performance was evidently enjoyed. At che end of the second act the applause was prolonged and Miss Russell was brought out, ziven flowe' and was finally compelled to mike a speech, which she did in a graceful, hesitating manner that was very fetching. Then there were calls for Mr. Albaugh, and that gentleman made his appearance, and, more by implication than what he said, indicated the great amount of care, watchfulness and anxlety that the erection of that handsome building had caused him. He said that the opening last night had filled the ambition of his life to present the people of Washington with a place of amusement, modern in construction and arrangement, and equal in all its appoint- ments to the needs and deserts of the peo- ple. He hoped he had done this, and he would look for the encouragement of the public. The lobbies and about the boxes were ornamented by an abundant array of palms ard potted plants, and handsome souvenir programs were distributed. “Tzigane” will be surg every night this week. —— AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. A Treasury Messenger Shoots Himself, but Will Recover. Because of despondency over the death of two close relatives, Frank Owens, em- ployed asa messenger In the Treasury De- partment, about 6 o'clock last evening made a desperate attempt to take his own life, but was unsuccessful. Since the death of a brother, September 27, young Owens, ft secms, has been unable to divert his mind from the sad event, and late yester- day afternoon went to his room at S07 Florida avenue, and placing the muzzle of a .A8-caliber revclver to his head fired. On hearing the report the sisters of the would-be suicide rushed into his room and found their brother lying in a pool of blood. Policemen McDonald and Jett, who were near by, 2!so hurried to the scene, and af- ter the wound had been temporarily dressed an ambulance was summoned and Owens taken to Garfield Hcspital. An ex- amination by the surgeons disclosed that the bullet had entered the side of the head near the left temple, inflicting a scalp wound. After reaching the hospital the wounded man declared that he wanted to die, and mzant to carry out that determina- tion. ‘At the hospital this afternoon it was stated that Owens would probably recover rapidly. He rested well last night and the case 1s devoid of serious aspects. — Funeral of Mrs. Knippel. ‘The funeral of Mrs. Maria Knippel, wife of the late Deniel Knippel, took place Sun- day from the residence of ‘her daughter, Marla Gockeler, No. 931 4th street north- west. The deceased was born in 1805 at Hersfield, Kurhessen, Germany, and came to Washington in 154 Mrs. Knippel was among the oldest German residents of the District. The funeral was largely attended. ——— Fig Money for an Imagination. ‘A little exercise of your imagination may be worth five hundred dollars in gold to you.

Dr. Williams, surgeon-in-chief of the Freedman’s Hospital in this city, has re- ceived a letter from the commission in charge of the colored exhibit at Atlanta, saying: “The Exposition Company has ap- prepriated $259 to help erect a suitable building with hospital attachment and wait- ing room for col6red ‘people, and I under- stard that the colored physicians of At- larta have volunteered their services to at- tend persons who may be taken to the hi pital. The colored commissioners are tryi to raise another $500 for the purpost cated above. Knowing your experience in hespital matters, and appreciating the su- perior facilities offered by the Freedman’s Hospital of this city, I thought it proper to suggest that such steps be taken under the direction of the honorable Secre- tary of the Interior, as will make an ex- hibit for Freedman’s Hospital, and :.t the same time be of great service to the race ard the exposition. The plans for the hos- pital are not complete as yet, and I sugyest that you move in the matter at once.” — ee GRAND JURY CASES., Several Serious Affairs to Be Iny gated. William P.

Howgate, had under con- sideration the question of the right of that court and of the trial court to admit a cenvicted and sentenced person to bail pending an anpeal. and he thought that until a deelsion had been rendered by the appe court in the ter such a de- fendant shonld rot be admitted to bail. Judge Cole coincided with Mr. Birney in that view of the case, and Danan was ac- cordingly committed te jail. But in those cases Where sentence had not been pro- nounced, although the defendants had been convieted, Judge Cole directed that they be continued en bail. —= ROCK CREEK PARK. 1 Injunction Against the tivsioners by Judge Cox.

Those only who have lived in a locality where the refuse matter of the house and backyard are allowed to be unloaded can form an idea of its offensiveness. My residence hap- pens to he near neighbor to a spot that has fer some time past been used as a dump in opposition to the protests and efforts of both the authorities and residents of the section. I can, therefore, speak from sad yerience. During the heated term,through which we have just passed, I have had to keep my doors and windows closed a good deal of the time, in order to escape the noxious odors wafted from this pestiferous deposit of old rags, leather, paper, tin cans, decayed vegetable matter, etc. (Indeed, it is sald that the presence cf dead animals in such accumulations is not uncommon.) ‘The firing of the mass often occurs, which aggravates its offensiveness. Members of my family have been at times completely prostrated by the foul and sickening stench, should be some modern and Satisfac- method of disposing of this character of refuse matter. Two ways occur to me, either of which would furnish the desired relief: Either have it cremated with the garbage proper, or else establish public dumps outside the city, at points remote from population. . This 1s a Subject of vast importance, and should occupy the early and earnest atten- tion of the authorities, as well as of the citizens generally. PROGRESS.

Secretary Smith has directed the commis- s:on of the general land office to continue the adjustment of the land grant of the : St. Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba rail- road (now the Great Northern), in accord- arce with a decision of Secretary Noble In 1891. The decision of Secretary Noble never has been reversed, but- the adjust- ment was suspended pending action of the United States courts. The land to the Manitoba Company was made In two differ- ent grants, one in 1857 known as the main land grant, and another in 1865 for what was known us the St. Vincent extension. By reason of the Northern Pacific grant of 1864, the St. Vincent branch lost a large amount of the land on each side of the line at the crossing over the Northern Pacific line. Another grant was made to the Man- itoba Company in 171, and there were losses by reason of the land being absorbed. The company was entitled to indemnity if the land could be found in Minnesota. Along the main line there were aboui 21),- (0) acres that were npt needed to satisfy the first grant. The company claimed this to satisfy lusses, but the land office held that the grants were separate and must be adjusted separately. The case was tried in the courts and the adjustment suspended pend ng the de {sio: ‘he Court of Appeals having sustained the department, the Sec- retary di.ects the adjustment to continue. A portion of the 21,000 acres will become the property of the old Hastings and Da- kota grant, and some lands will be restored to the public demain. -© To Investignte the Accident.
