From Harper's Weekly. There Is a story in the newspapers, which seems to be intended to be taken seriously, about the telephone newspaper which has been working successfully for two years at Pesth, Hungary. It is called the “Tele- phone Herald,” has 6,000 subsorfbers, costs 2 cents and issues twenty-eight editions daily. A special wire 168 miles long con- nects it with its subscribers, in whose houses long flexible wires permit the receiy- ers to be carried from room to room. At the office of the journal ten men with strong voices take turns in talking the news into the telephones. This modern journal makes all its deliverances to its subscribers according to a stated scheduie, which lets them know what to expect at stated hours of the day. It gives them the telegraphic rews duly and carefully edited, the local rews, articles on various subjects, and whatever other newspapers have. When there is nothing more important to com- municate the subscribers are entertained by vocal and instrumental music, sometimes discoursed for their especial benefit, some- times gathered from concert halls or churches where music is gcirg on. If all this really happens at Pesth, and not in the moon, Pesth must be the finest place for illiterate. blind, bedridden and in- curably lazy people In the world. It would rot appear, however,that a telephone news- paper is of value as a time-saving device, er that it is any less devastating to the faculties than a modern journal which dis- tributes its news in the ordinary way. -— +e —___ Silver Going Out of Use. From the Chicago Journal. One of the significant paragraphs of the statement of the acting controller of the currency of the condition of the Chicago rational banks at the close of business September 28 last is that relating to the number of silver dollars held by them. The acting controller interprets this to mean that “the use of the silver dollar seems to have decreased considerably in Chicago this year.” =e é. ede | a It appears from his statement that on September one national banks held only dollars, beng 70, ¥ but it is not the acting c 8 that it n cities. for It About the Names and Why They Were Given. DIVIDED INTO THREE CLASSES Men Who Were Known in Na- tional and Local Affairs. THE SYSTEM FOLLOWED The nomenclature of the public school edifices of this city has been subjected re- cently to some criticism. The complaint is that a good many people in the District have no acquaintance with the edents of the persons whose names are thus per- retuated in our school structures. There is much truth in the statement that there is ignorance 1egarding the persons from whom the school buildings take their name, yet this fact does not establish the justice of the ccmplaint. There are 100 public school buildiags in this city, and a study of the names which they bear will show they stand as 1nemo- rials to men who have, as a rule, achieved national or loca’ distinction. They are named by order of the Commisisoners to and through tNe school board. The nomenclature of these structures may iced into three classes; those named r the Presidents of the United States, those named on account of geographic situation, and those named for local men or distinguished friends of education. Of the first class we ho Adams, Harrison, Polk, Arthur, Taylor, Madison, Pierce, Buchanan, Jefferson, ant (for- merly called the Analostan), Jackson, Fill- more, Monroe, Van Buren, Tyler and Lin- coln. In the geographieal aroup may be placed the Hamilton, named for what is now call ed the Rladensburs roud, formerly tevin the Hamilton road. after Alexander Hamil- ton, near ‘which road the building is sity ed; the Potomac, after»our histori} river; the High Strest, the Brookland, the Mount Pleasant, the Tenleytown, the Brightwood (two schools), the Grant Road, the Sol Home, the Burrville, the Good Hope, the Garfield, from the town, not the Presi- gent; the Conduit Road, the Chain Brilze Road, the Fort Slocum, after the fort near the school; the Queen’s Chapel Road, Benning and Benning Road, the Anz Road, the Hillsdale and the Giesboro’, latter to be soon, changed to Congress Heights. These are named chiefly from the locality whence the attending pupiis are drawn. Names of Well-Known Men. The third is the most interesting group and the one that must bear the brunt of the criticism. In this group may be classed the Franklin, after Benjamin Franklin, the great self-educated man; the Henry, after Joseph Henry; the scientist and distin- guished secretary of the Smithsonian In- stitute; the Morse, after S. B. F. Morse, who demonstrated the practicability of the telegraph; the Webster, after the great statesman; the Blair, after Francis P. Biair, sr., a grest friend of education; the Peabody, after George Peabody, the philan- thropist; the Greenleaf, after Prof. Simon Greenleaf, the celebrated authority on evidence; the Mott, after Lucretia Coffin Mott, the elcqnent Quakeress, who was cne of the pioneer advocates of abolition and female suffrage; the Sumner, after Senator Charles Sumner, the great abo- litionist; the Stevens, after Thaddeus Ste- vens, the distingvished anti-slavery ad- vocate; the Garrison, after William Lloyd Garrison, the earlicst American friend of the negro; the Phillips, after Wendell Phil- hps, whose oratory and liberal principles are well known, and the Logan, after Sena- tor John A. Logan, always a warm advo- cate of the higher education of the negro. Promireat in this class are the three buildings named after the Commissioners of the District. The Dennison took its name from ex-Goy. and Commissioner Will- iam Dennison, the war governor of Ohio. The Phelps was-named after ex-Commis- sioner Seth Ledyard Phelps, one of the earliest of the Commissioners, who was in office from 1878 to 1879. Maj. W. T. Twin- ing gave the name to the Twining build- ing, and his record as Engineer Commis- s‘oner from 1878 to 1882 is District history. The Mayors of the City. Next in order come the buildings ramed to perpetuate the mayors of Washington. The Brent building is named from Robert Brent, who is distinguished as having been the first mayor of Washington under the first charter, when the mayors were ap- pointed by the President. He was the sec- retary of the first board of school trustees, of which Thomas Jefferson was the Pres- ident. The Wallach building deserves next men- tion. It was the ploneer edifice of the mod- ern form of school house in the District. When Mayor Wallach expended $30,010) of the District's money on this early structure the building was at once christened Wal- lach’s Folly, and bore that name ull time proved that his folly was the greatest fore- sight and wisdom. The Berret building was named after Mayor Berret. Prior to his being mayor he was postmaster of :he city. He is living here in the enjoyment of a vigorous old age. The Force building obtained its name from Peter Force, whos> services to the District were rot confined to his term as mayor, from 1836 to 1840, Succeeding him in the mayofalty was W. W. Seaton, from whom the Seaton building tcok its name, and who was mayor from 1540 to 1 Seaton suggests Gales. Jos. Gales, jr., from whom the Gules building was named, was associated with Seaton, and unéer the firm name of Gales & Seaton they conducted the National Intelligencer from 1812 to 1864. Gales was mayor from 1827 to 1830. The Maury building took its name from Mayor John W. Maury, who ield sway from’ 1852 to 1854. The name of Dr. J. H. Blake, mayor from 1813 to 1818, still lives in the Blake building. Mayor Magruder, 1856-1857, gave the name to the Magruder building. Bradley derives its name trom Mayor Wm. A. Bradley, 1834-1835. Mayor Samuel N. Smallwood gives the name to Smallwood School. Thomas Carberry, may- or from 1822 to 1824, is responsible for the name of the Carberry building. The Tow- ers School is named from Mayor John T. Towers, 1854-1854. The Weightman buiid- ing derives its name from the mayor, from Is24 to IN27. The Georgetown Buildings. Four prominent citizens of Georgetown give names to buildings in the fifth division. The Corcoran derives its name from Thomas Corcoran, father of W. W. Cor- coran, who, though Irish born, was a Georgetown boy and was successively mag- istrate, mayor and postmaster of his city. Threlkeld is named after one of the three original -landowners of Georgetown, from/| whom West Washington householders now mostly derive title. Curtis building was named after W. W. Curtis, who for a long time was a member of the school board. Tue Addison buliding takes its name from Rev. Walter D. Addison, who in 1800 was the first rector of St. John’s P. E. Church and continued to have great influence in the city of the heights till his death. Wilson building is so named in compli- ment to ex-Superintendent J. Ormond Wil- son. Cranch gets its name from Judge William Cranch, who was a member of the first school board with Brent and was chief justice of the District judiciary for many years. Gen. W. W. Birney, an ex-trustee, and cf the family so famous in American politics, gives the name to the Birney building. Peter Lenox, an alderman in 1812, and who held many other District offices, is per- petuated in the Lenox School. The McCor- mick building is proba’ty named after Hugh McCormick, a famous Capitol Hill teacher, though some claim that Rev. A. T. Mc- Cormick, a school trustee for twenty years and a man of great influence for good, is the one for whom the building is named. The Thomson building is named after its former owner, Strong John Thomson, who was also a teacher in the schools. The Ab- bott was given the name of the owner of the lot on which the building stands. It was at one time called the Berret building, but to prevent confusion the Commissiuners Save it the present title when the new building, now called the Berret, was con- structed. aa Some Colored School Buildings. The Amidon building was so named to perpetuate the consecrated work of noble woman. In addition to years of success- ful effort in the schools, Miss Amidon do- nated a fund to enable a medal to be given each year to “the most amiable giri” who should be ro adjudged by the suffrage of her classmates. James Wormley, the fa- mous hotel prdprietor, is perpetuated in the Wermley School. The Chamberlain build- ing is named in honor of a former schooj principal. In 1807 three free colored men, George Bell, Nicholas Franklin and Moses Liver- pcol, inaugurated a school for colored chil- dren on the present site of Providence Hos- p.tat. This was the inception of the pres- ent excellent system of schools for colored youth in Washington. George Bell gives the name to the Bell building, and the John F. Cook building is named after Reli's brother-in-law, another pioneer colored re- fcrmer in the District, and the ancestor of the Cook family of which Superintendent Cook is a member. Senator James W. Patterson gives the name to the Patterson School.
