THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS An Appeal for a Share of the Pub- lic Lands. NONE EVER GIVEN 10 THE DISTRICT —————— Mr. Dodge’s Plea for a Part in the Distribution. ——— + —- — HISTORYOF THELOCALSYSTEM Se Mr. W. C. Dodge, ex-Senator B. K. Bruce and Mr. L. C. Baitles appeared before the House committee on public lands this morning as a delegation representing the school interests of Washington to ask the committee to include the District of Colum- bia in a pending bill to equalize the distri- bution of public school land funds among the states. Mr. Dodge said he did not advocate any one of the particular bills, but wanted the District's interests taken care of in one of the bills He said the citizens want a por- . tion of the funds set aside to found a man- ual training school where the 10,900 idle boys of the town may be-trained. Most of these boys are colored and are not now permitted to learn a trade. Trades Unions Don't Recognize Color- ed People. “How does that happen?” asked’a mem- ber of the committee. “Because the trades unions of this city do not recognize colored people, and they are not permitted to become apprentices,” answered Mr. Dodge. “That is a remarkable state of affairs,” said the interrogator. “Well, that 1: he condition, however re- markabi 1 Mr. Dodge.

In 1858 another act was passed provid- ag for a gercral system of public schools 0 be supported from the city revenues, ch system has been continued ever ce. Education of Colored Children. Referring to the history of the educa- tion of colored children, Mr. Dodge said that no provision v made for this class ntil 186 As early as 1514 efforts were made benevolent persons to establish ools for the free colored, but very few were accommodated, and in 1835 the few that existed were closed by a mob. in 1886 John F. Cook established a school for colored n and had 100 scholars. Mr. Dodge he thought he was the father of the pri John F. Cook, super- dent of col chools. In Is Miss hool for colored girls, ng supported by private funds donated herself and others, mainly pérthern people. In ING2 and subsequently Congress legis- lated on the subject, so that now and for many y cologed children are i a par with the whites, so c funds are concerned. Mr. Dodge said it is a remarkable fact that the i men, who were born and 2 in Maryland and Virginia, orge Bell, Nicholas Franklin and Moses Liverpo It s built in 1807, where ital now stands. At that time the population of the District consist- 1 of 4,148 whites, 1,004 slaves and 404 free olored people. As the 4,148 whites had built but two school hous it will be seen at the 49£ free colored were much better »vided for by the Hberality of those three javes than were the white children at that time. Want the District Recognized. “We are satisfied with the present condi tion of the general school fund,” said Mr. Dedge, “but what we want is that whft- ever legislation this committee may rec- ommend as to the equalization of the school fund, the District of Columbia shall be recognized and provided for.” Dodge said it w truly remarkable all the legislation of the past the t had been omitted from sharing the s conferred upon the public school funds of the states. Mr. Dodge said the strict had contributed by its internal revenue taxes to the support of the general gover nd in many cases paid more E ome of the states. Dodge said that Castoria For Infants and Children, CASTORIA DESTROYS WORMS. CASTORIA CURES CONSTIPATION, CASTORIA ALLAYS FEVERISHNESS. CASTORIA CURES DIARRHOEA AND COLIC.

Solid lines are s0- bars, or Ines of equal air pressure, drawn for each tenth of nn Inch. Dotted lines are ssotherms, or lines of equal temperature, drawn for each ten degrees. Shaded areas are regions where rain or snow has fallen during preceding twelve hours, The words “High and ‘Low’ show location of areas of high and ow barometer. Small arrows fy with the wind TAKE, AN UMBRELLA. Conditions Favorable for Thunder Storms Thin Afternoon or Tonight. Forecast till 8 p.m. Wednesday: For the District of Columbia, Delaware and Maryland, conditions favorable for thunder storms this afternoon or tonight; Wednesday, probably fair; slight changes in temperature; variable winds, becoming southerly. For Virginia, conditions favorable for thunder storms tonight; Wednesday, fair; slightly cooler Wednesday morning; south- erly winds. Weather conditions and general forecast —The pressure is relatively high over the lower lake region and over the east gulf states. It 1s low over the Gulf of St. Lawrence. A trough of low pressure ex- tends from western ‘Texas northward over the Rocky mountain slope to the Saskatche- wan valley, with a storm ceater of con- siderable energy in North Dakota. An area of high pressure has advanced into the Rocky mountain plateau from the middle Pacitic coast. High northwesterly winds are prevailing on the northern and middie slopes. The barometer has risen in New England and the lower lake region and de- cidedly on the Focky mountain plateau: it has fallen generally throughout the central valleys. It is cooler this morning in New England and thence westward to the upper Missouri velley, and slightly warmer in the gulf States. The conditions of extreme heat continued during Monday in the middie and south Atlantic states, the maximum tempera- tures at Philadelphia, Savannah and Park- ersburg being higher than any previous weather bureau record at those stations for the second ten days of May. The following maximum temperatures are noted, viz: New York city, Atlanta, Na ville, Cincinnati and Pittsburg, 9 degre: Norfolk, Jacksonville, Jupiter and Parkers burg, 02 degrees; Philadelphia, Washington h- school children here are rightfully resi- dents of the states. Ex-Senater Brace’s Remarks. Ex-Senator B. K. Bruce then addressed the committee briefly. He indorsed what Mr. Dodge had said about establish: manual training schools to take the colored boys off the streets, fit them for honcst work and save them from the jails am penitentiaries. They cannot, under pres ent conditions, fit themselves for work The white boy may become an apprentic end get to be an honest workman. The colored boy {s given an education in the eemmon schools ard comes out with head full of knowledge that is practically useless to him, because there is no fiel cpen to him to earn a living. The future of these boys is one of the problems con- fronting the people of this District, and responsibility lies with Congress as well as with the ciiizens of Washington to solve the problem. CHINA SETTLES WITH US. Whole Amount Demanded in Conse- quence of Chengtu Riots is Paid. The New York Journal has received telligence from Tien-Tsin, China, that Con- sul Read, the chairman of the Chengtn commission, has suceceded in securipg pay- ment in full of the Baptist Missionary Union claims for property losses in the Sechuen riots. Thus all the American claims have been settled In a friendly manner, China pay- ing the whole amount demanded. The Sechuen Riots The riots in Sechuen province last May marked the beginning of the attacks on foreign missionaries in China by the fanatical vegetarians, which culminated in the Hwasang massacre. No foreigner was killed in Sechuen, but the mission property destroyed in that province alone was valued at $5,000,000, It belonged to American, Canadian, En- lish and French societies. The United States government, acting apart from other governments, sent to Chengtu, the capital of Sechuen, a com- mission of inquiry, headed by Sheridan Read, the American consul at ‘Tien- . He was accompanied by Lieutenant Commander Merrell of the United States warship Baltimore, and Mr. Cheshire. Four leaders of the Sechuen vegetarian anti-missionary mobs were beheaded be- fore the Chengtu commission set out from Tien-Tsin. As soon as the commission arrived at Chengtu the representatives of all the wrccked missions returned and = imme- diately began to rebuild, while the native officials lost no opportunity to make pub- lic manifestation of their respect for the American commission. The Chengtu officials the claims of the American Methodists, assisted them to buy property outright and publicly banqueted all the American misstonaries with the commission. For some reason the Baptist Missiorfary Union's claims were noi puid when the commission was in Chengtu last January. on An A. P. A. Mass Meeting. A public mass mecting, under the auspices of the A. P. A., will be held at Central Hall over Central Market Friday evening next at 8 o'clock. The committee in charge states that the principles of the organiza- tion anJ the reasons for its existence will there be fully explained, and invite the public to come. —_>—_—_ Only One Place. Judge Miller says he dislikes very much the {dea of sending able-bodied men to jail, where they live in idleness and become fat at the expense of the government. The cese which’ called forth the remark was cne in which Daniel Hall, colored, had ill- treated his wife for no reason other than the fact that he was under the influence of liquor. Several months ago he threw a lighted lamp at her, and Sunday he struck her with a glass. a “I would like to send you somewhere,’ the ceurt said, “where you would receive treatment between now and the setting of the sun which would make you regret what you had dere. But unfortunately the law provides cnly one place, the jail, and there you will have to stay .for six mcnths.” promptly settled ——.—_—_ Occasioned by Heat. Yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock Frederick Fehlbush, sixty years old, who lives at 450 R street, was overcome by the heat. He was so much affected that in getting off a car at New York avenue and 6th street he fell and was slightly hurt. ‘The police ambulance was sent for and he was conveyed to his home. —_—.___ Had a Tussle. Policemen Hooper and Kilmartin had a tussle with Richard Dean last night. Rich- ard had been out of the workhouse only a day, and when he called on a female friend she rejected his attentions.

The May returns of the statistical divis- fon of the Department of Agriculture on the condition of winter wheat show an in- crease of 5.6 points above the April aver- ake. being against 77.1 last month, and 82.9 In May, 1805. The averages in nine principal winter wheat states are: Penn- sylvania, 64; Ohio, 55; Maryland, 90; In- diana, Kentuck Illinois, 90; Mis- sourl, 81; Kansas, 96; California, 100. There has been general improvement in the con- dition of winter wheat throughout the country. Reports up to May 5 indicate a general improvement in the condition of winter wheat in the principal wheat states, but show in Maryland, New York, Penn- sylvania and Oklahoma the condition of er wheat not so promising. pevial reports to the department show crop prospects excellent in Great Britain and France, good in Russia and Austria- Hungary, fair in Germany, Italy and Rou- mania and unfavorable in Spain. The condition of winter rye on May 1 was 87.7 per cent; of barley, spring pa meadows, 91.8. ‘The proportion ng plowing accomplished -by May 1 this season was rather above the average, being 79.6 per cent, or 1.0: points above that of an average year. 2 v Millions of ODD Jars of ; Liebig -Company’s Extract of ‘Beef are sold all ’round the world every year; and for thirty years it has been known by good cooks everywhere as the standard for quality.

A herd of moose, led by a big fellow, swam across the bay from the Wisconsin side recently and attempted to land on Superior street, the main thoroughfare of the city, which lies along the lake front. Just as the animals were about to land a tug came along and they turned and head- ed for Park Point, a narrow strip of iand extending several miles into the lake. On this strip they landed wear the life-saving station, and in the presence of dozens of persons slowly trotted to the extreme end of the point. They will not be molested on account of there being a $500 fine for killing a moose in this state. FINANCIAL.
