The deceased was forty-eight years of age, and he had been a resident of this city all his life. He was an unusually bright man and was highly regarded by all to whom he was Frown. Mr. Wright attended the local public schools and then attained his education in art of printing at the government printing His father is also a printer. For several years Mr. Wright held a posi tion in the composing room of The Star, ut of late he has served as a proofreader the government printing office.

WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED ee Recommendations in the Line of Changes and Improvements. WORK OF THE AGENT es Mr. Simon Wolf today transmitted to Colonel John Tracey, superintendent of charities, the annual report of the board of children’s guardians. A part of the docement was a report by the agent of the beard, Herbert M. Lewis. In transmit- ting the report Mr. Woif spoke in terms of praise of the labors of the secretary of the board, Mr. Mann. According report the appropriation for adm tive ases for the year was $4,000, which was expended. The regular appro- priation for the care of children was $16,000, to which was added a deficiency appropriation of $3,801.36, from which were made expenditures as follows: For feeble-minded children—In the Penn- sylvania Training School, $5,000: ginia Training School, $% For children not feeble-mind tenance—In__ priv District inst:tutiuns, to the in- stitutions, Total, $12,773.98. Cloth- ing, H are, 37 ; balance returned to treasury, $266.41. ‘The board began the year with 255 wards, not feeblc-minded, in charge, and closed the year having 312 such ward: The aggregate number of days such chil dren were in charge of the board was 105 419, or an average of 288 children for every day in the year. The board, moreover, has given 2,70 days’ temporary care to children not its wards under authority conferred upon it for that purpose by the law and the courts. The aggregate cost of administration and supervision, board and care, clothing and medical attendance of these children was $17,96 This is at the rate of 16.62 cents per or $82 sponding rates for the year 1S cents per day, or ¥ Feebie-minded ci day: © per capita rate of 58.47 cents per di or $214.01 per year.

Not apportioning any administrative ex- penditures among the feeble-minded chil- dren, the administrative expenditures, om a basis of 18,826 Gays’ care of children, not feebie-minded, were at the rate of 3.68 cents per day, or $13.45 per year, per capita. Important Duties of the Agent. An increase in the salary.of the agent is recommended. The following explanatory notes are of- fored: Salary of agent—The efficacy of the work of the board depends in large manner upon the agent, who alone can krow at first hand the character of the children taken in charge, and of the hemes in which it is | proposed to place these children. The board must be guided in its actions principally by his recommendations, and the information furnished by him. The of- fice one of great responsibility, and should he filled by @ person cf experience and geod judgme! The present agent was engaged three years ago, at a salary of $1.00 per annum, he having been induced to resign a position elsewhere to take charge of the work of this board. The great value of the work which he as done, and the familiarity which he has med with the homes of the wards of the board who have been placed out by his make it very important that his e retained. Had ft not been for tion of and fidelity to the trust been able to retain his servic until now, for the restrictions of the acts for the fis: reduced his salary for ppro- years 1805 and restricted to $1,000), while much larger salaries have been offered to him elsewhere. It is hardly open to doubt that similar services could not be obtained in Heu of his for less than $2,000 per annum. It seems not only to be the part of honor that his salary he increased to at least the former rate, but the part of wisdom to make it more adequate to command his continuous service. ‘The report says: “The total amount asked f tive expenses for 1894 ( 00), when ap- portioned to the estimated number (325) stbjeet to supervision in that year, shows a per capita of $18.96." Estima administra- for Next Year. The following estimates are made of the cost of bi and care of children not fe2- ble minded for the fiscal year 1808: For board and care of an average of 16 children at $110 each.. $17,600 For medicai care of children boarding homes.. 800 For clothing for #) children ¢ ing for free hom: at $10 ea! wo For temperary care of children p ding investigation or while being trareferred from place to place 1,000 Total +£20,000 ‘The agent's report contains a discussion of the proper management of children de- pendent on the public. Modern Child Caring Institution. In his report Mr. Lewis says: “Let the District of Columbia buy a tract of land within fifty miles of Washington on some main line of railroad and thore build and equip a thoroughly modern child- caring institution and organize its work upon the principles already indicated. Let it be made the duty ef the board of control to use especial dil:gence in providing free family hemes for the children sent to suca stitution. Let all under three years of be boarded out, as is now done by oard, and let agents be provided who will watch over all placed out children until teen years of age. 0 will the entire field be adequately ; so will the rights of the children be best guarded. Every child is entitled to a home. His interest, and that of the Dis- trict of Columbia, alike demand that he be not deprived in this regard. In order that he may receive it, he must first be made acceptable to some one who owns a home. “There is no other solution to the vexed question of child care in the District of Columbia. The temper of Congress to- ward the present system has been suffi- clently indicated. Members have repeated- ly said upon the floor of the House of Representatives that they would support @ measure embodying a plan for the crea- tion of such an institution, and valu: assistance is waiting for it in the Senate. “There is a most urgent need for the enactment and enforcement in this District of a law providing for the compulsory sup- port of children by parents.

The board of medical supervisors has adopted the rules and regulations that are to govern the examination of applicants for licenses to practice medicine in the District of Columbia. They are as follows: ‘The examinations shall be conducted in writing and ora The written examina- ticns shall continue threé days, and be divided as follows: Anatomy and histology: physiology and hygiene; chemstry, toxi- cology and medical jurisprudence; path- ology and bacteriology: materia medica and therapeutics; practice of medicine: surgery and diseases of the eye and the ear: chstetrics and gynecology. The oral examinations, covering the subjects, shall be held on the Monda, lowing the ciose of the written ex tions, and continue from day to until all idates have been examined. In the written examinations ten questions shall be given to each of the etght sections. The time for each examination paper of ten questions shall not exceed two hours. The examination in each section shall be conducted by one member from each of the three examining boards. The candidate must sign his or her papers, not with his or her uname, but with a number furnished by the secretary of tbe board of supervisors at the beginning of the examinations. The boards of examiners shall begin their inspection of the pupers submitted by the candidates as soon as possible after the close of the examinations, and shall make a full and tabulated report of the same to the board of supervisors within ten days thereafter. G Examined in Fall Session. ‘The oral examinatjon shall be conducted by each board in full session, the candi- dates being examined singly and in turn by the different members. The result in each case shall be determined immediately after the «xamination, and a correct state- ment of the result be transmitted to the secretary of the board of supervisors as soon as possible. ‘The board of supervisors shall announce their conclusions within twenty days after the close of the examinations. A correct set of answers to the questions, both written and oral, in any one section, shall be rated at 100, 75 per cent for the written, 25 per cent for the oral examina- tion, and partial or imperfect answers shall be rated in accordance with their de-- gree of completeness. A total average of 75 per cent sha!l be necessary to entitle the candidate to aj; license to practice medicine and surgery in the District of Columbia, but in no se tion shall the percentage be less than per cent; in this case, however, the can- didate may, upon his request, be granted an immediate re-examination upon that section. A candidate having less than 50 per cent in more than one section, or less than 33 1-8 per cent in any one section, shall be rejected, no matter what may be his or her total average. Annual Report. ‘The annual report of the Woman’s Chris- tian Association shows that during the past fiscal year a total of 330 women were ad- mitted. ‘The greatest attendance at any one time was 63, and the smallest 48.

Democrats at Chillam Organised Last Nisshe. The Chillum Democratic Club was re- organized last night under the auspices of the Lakeland Club, at a large and enthu- silastic meeting held at Chillum Hall. Five hundred persons were present, including a large number of ladies. The meeting was called to order by Mr. J. Enos Ray, the former president of the club, and the follewing named gentlemen were elected officers: J. Enos Ray, pr dent; John Miller, treasurer; A. L. Ray, secretary, and James Miller, Henry Free- man and J. T. Brown, vice presidents. Milton E. Smith of Branchville was the first speaker, and he gave a lucid exposi- tion of the propositions of the two parti on the question of money, arguing that the republicans provided and remedy for existing conuit democratic .party did propose a remei Mr. Smith made a number of good points and was loudly appleuded. . B. Fleming of Kentucky, now in the law department of the treasury, was the next speaker. He was forcible in his presentation of the reasons why the democratic party should be suc ful in the present contest. He spoke of the plank opposing government by injunction and of that on the civil service, and his remarks on the latter were received wi great appleuse. His argument on the mon. question was based on facts and figures taken from offictal reports, and he showed such familiarity with his subject, and made such telling points that the ence was delighted. The Rev. Dr. Kent of this city followed with an interesting address, in which, among other things, he reviewed the speech of ‘ex-President Harrison at Carnegie Hall, and argued the inconsist- ent position taken by that speaker. Dr. Kent also attacked the “sound money” orators who speak of the “intrinsic value of money.” Mr. M. A. Downing of New Mexico ani some others made short speeches. 2. A. Newman, vice president: Mr. J. ‘T. Burch, secretary, and Mr. A. P. Scaggs, treasurer, and a large number of others of the Lakeland Club were present, accom- panied by the Mount Pleasant Band, which gave the audience some excellent | music. A large rumber of names were added to the club list, and nearly every one present secured the Lakeland Club campaign but- ton. The next meeting of the club will be held at Takoma Hall tomorrow night at 7 o'ciock. —— Central Labor Union. The proceedings of last evening's meeting of the Central Labor Union were well at- tended. President Milford F. Spohn occu- pied the chair, and in the absence of Mr. Joseph F. Torrens, who was sick, Mr. Will- fam Silver acted as secretary. The roll call showed that twenty organi- zations were represented. Delegates from the Bricklayers and Brewery Workers were admitted and obligated. Organizer Weber reported that the oil dealers would receive their charter in a da or two, and would be represented at the next meeting of the Central Labor Union. No action was taken in the matter of the settlement of the beer war between the brewers and the Federation and IMstrict Assembly No. 66, Knights of Labor, as it was the opinion, informally, however, ex- pressed, that it was proper for the Build- ing Trades Council to take any inittatory steps thought by it to be best to counter- act the influence of the Knight: with the brewers.

MAY PRODUCE LASTING PEACE He Now Seeks a Pacific Coast Connection. A WONDERFUL SYSTEM Notwithstanding the fact that demoral- ization of rates exists among the railroads in many sections of the country, there is reason to believe that lasting peace through a restoration of normal conditions and the adjustment of tariff to a figure that will pay a reasonable interest on the invest- ment will be reached in a much sooner period than would appear possible to those who give the matter only casual considera- tion, and it is thought that this will be brought about largely through the great influence of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan. It is no longer a secret to those who are corversant with recent happenings in the railroad world that Mr. Morgan is fast be- coming the owner of enough lines of rail- ways to enable him, with the co-operation of the Vanderbilts and the Pennsylvania people, to control the entire transportation business of the country east of the Missouri river, and to have a very large say in the management of the lines west of that river. The sale of the Norfo!k and Western rail- way system on the Mth instant has been followed within ten days by the reorgan- ization of the company, with Mr. Henry Fink, now one of the receivers of the Mem- phis and Charleston road, as president. A board of directors will ‘be hereafter lected by Mr. Morgan from among New York people who are identified with his in- terests. The sale of the Philadelphia and Reading, which tooi place Wednesday last, when this property was aiso purchased by Mr. Morgan, will also be followed by speedy reorganization. It is not too late to re- mark that the Reading transaction was the greatest of the kind which has ever taken place in this country, and by it Mr. Morgan ites Came into possession of @ properiy the par value of which is esti- mated at $20,000,000, It is true, the out- standing indebtedness amounts to about MK.000, but when it is taken into con- siacration that the total amount to be paid by the purchasers is but $20,500,000 the fact that they kad to assume the outstanding indebiedness abeve referred to amounts to o and Northern Pacttic. s expecte] that Mr. Morgan will also the Chicago and Northern Pacific, at foreclosure sale early next month in Chicago. The road has been in the hands of a receiver, and it is stated that a plan of reorganization, which it is understood was prepared under the direction of Mr. Morgan, has been practi- cally perfected. The road must bring not less than $10,000,060, and the purchaser In addition must > two mortgages, one of whic 1,000, is held by the city of Chicago, and the other, which aggregates alout $14,000, is held by Edwin A. Abbott and John A. Stewart, together with some smaller obligations. It is as- sumed that Mr. Morgan, having dictated the terms of reorganization, desires to quire the property when the necessary le- gal steps shall have been complied with. Word comes from St. i, Minn., that some of the great grain of the northwest have secured lower rates to New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore for future shfpment of grain than they had idea of being able to a month azo, and that this result has been : 1 largely through the infuence of . in Central, ove of the most nnecting links in the Morgan fystem of railw Chicazo end the great grain region in the upper north- west. The re ff amounis to about 20 per cent, a: d -vitn the previous charges, and which prevailed ustil Mr. Morgan’ purch: few days axo. Grain Men Satisfied. The action of Mr. Morgan gives great satisfaction to the grain men of the east, as it will, it is expected, or at least It Se hoped, divert to the east much of the trade which has for some time past found its way to Galveston, New Orleans, Mobile and Newport News for shipment to foreign ports. It is well known that the grain men of the northwest last spring made earnest efforts to secure a reduction of rates from St. Paul, Minn., Duluth and other cities in that vicinity to eastern points, and that the Trunk Line Association refused to con- sider a fair adjustment of lake end rail rates between eastern and norchwestern peints in comparison other markets. However, even Mr. Morgan's great influ- ence could not have accomplished the re- sult so much desired by western shippers had it act been for the fact that the Wis. consin Central was compieting « connec- tion between its main iine and the prin- cipal lake pert of shipment, Maattowoc, to which point grain was brought in ves- sels from the upper lake region. Still the western-cities are thankful that they have received relief, even at this late day. As indicating the high state of perfec- ticn to which each road that is xequired by Mr. Morgan is brought under his dtrec- tion, it is worth while to note te present condition of the Chicazo, Milwaukee and St. Paul, of which Mr. Samuel Spencer, president of the Southern Railway Com- peny, is the managing director. At the an- nual meeting, which was held a few days ago, it was stated “that never befcre in the history of the road has the property been in better condition phy: Tt was further stated that any one migat sce this for himseif from tne fact that at ro time during the year was the line blocked in the handling of its enormous business. ‘The road has on hand, it fs siated, a re- newal fund of over 3880,00), all of which 1s ready for use on the property the mo- ment it is needed.
