Harry St. John, for many years a resi- dent of Washington and a law clerk in the generaPland office, died Saturday, at Perry, Okla., of the grip. He was the son of ex-Gov. John P. St. John of Kansas, once the prohthit!on candidate for President and leader of the prohibition party of the United States. Harry.St. John’s death occurred while he was under indictment for murder. He aréve “to his home in the country, near Perry, April 3, 1995, and kilied his wife, a beautiful woman. Excitement ran high and violence,at one time was feared. St. John gave himself up to officers and was put in jail. Leter he gave bond.

Hampstead Church, London, was crowded yesterday with friends and relatives of the late Geo.DuMaur-er, the artist-author, 1O Gied Thursday, and whose remains were cremated at Woking Saturday. It was the Gay appointed for the funcral ceremontes, and it attracted a large gathering, including the entire.staff of Punch, Burnard, Lucy, Furness, Sir Walter Besant, Bancrott,Poyn- ter, Alfred, Gilbert, Henry James, Professor Lankester and many others. The mourners were headed by the widow, sons and daugh- ters of the deceased. Canon Aingar offic!- ated, and four bearers carried the bier, vpon which was a gold casket containing the ashes of DuMaurier. The casket was smothered in flowers, and, after the funeral ceremonies, was interred in the church yard under a yew tree. The floral wreaths in- cluded several from actresses who have played the part of Trilby. t that the matter as} SCHO Important Business Transacted by: the Board Last’ Wight, ee THE PENMANSEIP QUESTION SETTLED The Vertical System Adopted With Only One Dissenting Vote. TEACHERS APPOINTED Although somewhat shorter than usual, last night’s meeting of the board of trustees of public schools was marked by the trans- action of considerable busmess of impor- tance to the system. President ‘Whelpley was in the chair, and Mr. Joseph Falck acted as secretary. The trustees present were Messrs. Barnard, Harries, Hazen, Wil- son, Bruce, Cornish and Shadd, and Mrs. Stowell. Superintendents Powélf and Cook were also in attendance to. supply any in- formation that might be required of them. The surprise of the evening waS'the quiet, but most effective, manrer.in which the vexed question in relation to a change of text books on penmanship Was disposed of. | This question has engaged.the.attention of the board for some time and had reached stage generally regarded by the ®pposition to the propesed change 8..ag effectual deadlock. Under the rules of the board it requires a two-thirds vote of:aH-the mem- bers, or seven, to change a text book, and prior to last night's meeting*the-propositior in favor of a vertical system of penman- ship had never received ‘mere“than six votes. That there had been a deéfde@ change of sentiment on the subject, however, was de- veloped at last night's meeting, But it was not even suspected by the. minority until the final vote was taken. That the question was coming up for consideration was clear- ly indicated at the very outset of the meet- ing, during the consideratiomef ae minutes of the special meeting of September 15. As printed, the minutes showeé-‘thata motion offered by Mr. Harries “to lay the matter of copy books on the table” “Had been car- ried. Mr. Barnard took exception'to that state- ment as not being strictly accurate. Ac- cording to his recollection, the board had simply laid on the table the joint report of the committee on text beoks and the com- mittee on penmansnip, with the intention of taking it up at another meeting of the board. Other members of the board, in- cluding Mr. Harries, expressed similar views on the subject, and, on motion of Mr. Barnard, the secretary was instructed to amend the minutes accordingly. ‘The Vertical Penmanship Adopted. ‘The matter was laid aside temporarily to permit the transaction of routine business, and when that was out of the way, Mr. Barnard made a formal motion that the jcint report of the committees be taken from the table, and the motion was car- ried without division. The report in ques- tion contained the unanimous re-ommenda- tion of the committee on text books and the committee on penmanship in favor of the use of the vertical writing books, pub- ished by Ginn & Co., in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades of schools. Mr. Barnard stated that the committee was unanimcus in its adhesion to its former upinion. Without any preliminary skirmishing, Mr. Wilson moved the adoption of the re- port, and none of the memb2rs showing any Gisposition to discuss the motion, the president directed the secrétary to call the roll on the motion. As their names were called, Messrs. Barnard, Whelpley, Pazen, Wilson, Shadd, Bruce and Cornish and Mrs. Stowell voted “aye,” and Mr. Harries y."" and the secretary announced vote as 8 for and 1 against the ‘not whereupon the chair declared that it kad been carried, and that the iext hooks rec- ommended by the joint committees hed been adopted by the boarl. Heretofore Mr. Cornish had consistenily voted against the proposed change, and it is also stated that Mr. Shadd had. proinised to vote agains: the committee’s recommendation at {last night’s meeting. As already shown, hewever, both gentlemen voted in favor of the adoption of the report. Had they voted otherwise, it would have lacked the two- thirds vote necessary to its success. Inas- much, however, as the matter was not cven briefly discussed, there was nothing to show what caused the unlooked-for strength of the majority. No Need of a Woman. Janitor. A communication wes received from Mrs. B. S. Luckett, superintendent of the purity department, Women’s Christian Temper- ance Union of the District of Columbia, re- questing “that the board appoint proper persons to have supervision of the closets in the school buildings during school hours, and of the piay grounds and play rooms when occupied by the children,” and also requesting “that a woman janitor shall be appointed for each high school building, to whom young girls may appeal in case of need.” “if the desirability of these ap- pointments is not at once apparent,” said Mrs. Luckett, “representatives of the W. C. T. U. will be glad to present reasons in sup- port of the same.” it appeared that there is no necessity for the action suggested, and, moreover, ‘there is no authority cf law for such appoint- ments in case they were needed. Mr. Hazen said that the school monitors attended to this matter, and Mr. Harries said that there were so many female teachers in the schools that the pupils can easily find some one to appeal to in case of need. Superintendent Powell, having been called on for an opinion on the subject, said: “I do not believe such appointments are | needed, for, as Mr. Harries said, there are | so many female teachers that one or more may always be found in the yard during recess. This work is now forced upon teachers by the supervising principals. 1 agree with Mr. Wilson that we cannot make the appointments requested because we have no appropriation for that purpose, unless we assign a teacher to.do that duty. All of these movements are in the right di- rection, and they make better schools and pupils, but I should say this matter is one of the things thac at present are least needed.” : Finally, on motion of Mrs. Stowell, the secretary was instrected to inform Mrs. Luckett that the duties suggested are being attended to, and that there is no appropria- tion for additional appointments. Mr. Wilson stated that District Commis- sioner Powell had recently suggested to him that the board explain fully the neces- sity for additional school buildings, and ex- press itself on the subject of a compulsory school law for the District. On his sugges- tion, the proper committees were instfucted to prepare the data for the benefit of the District Commissioners, Minor Changes, At their request, Misses Carrie M. Fuller and Susan A. Mccre, who have been on the substitute list for over two.:years, and whose work has been satisfactory, were granted certificates for the coming ycer without an examination. The resignation of Miss E. M. Getchell, teacher seventh grade, Twining, was ac- cepted. Miss Marie H. Siebert, teacher cf German in the High School, was granied leave of absence for three months. She is now in Berl.n, and asked for a year’s leave. AMiss Sampson of the Birney School wa3 also granted three months’ leaye to study abroad.

The ground on which many refuse to join in the movement is that the patronage of the various hos- telries includes good men of all parties, and it would seem inhospitable to their guests to be taking active measures against any portion of them. Monday an invitation was sent to all the hotel men to meet at the Arlington Satur- day evening for the purpose of contributing furds to aid toward McKinley's election. The note of invitation was as follows: ARLINGTON HOTEL, October 12, 1806. Dear Sir: A meeting of the hotel men of Weshington is called at the Arlington for Saturday, October 17, 7 p.m., for the pur- pese of contributing to the McKinley and Hobart finance committee. You are earnestly requested to be present. Very truly, T. E. ROESSLE, per Breast. Mr. Selden of the Metropolitan Hotel, Mr. Horace M. Cake of the Normandie, Mr. Walter Burton of the National and’ Mr. John T. Moylan of the Owen House all expressed themselves as opposed to the idea. At the meeting of the Columbia Demo- cratic Club resolutions denouncing the ef- fort of Mr. Roessle to raise funds for Me- Kinley were unanimously adopted. eS Grand Commandery Knights Templar The twenty-fifth annual grand conclave of the Grand Commandery of Knights Temp- lar in the jurisdiction of the District of Columbia, Georgia and Florida was held Monday evening in the Temple, corner of Virginia avenue and 5th street southeast, with Right Eminent Sir L.

Keyworth of 646 G street northeast will be surprised this afternoon when she learns that her daughter, Miss -Katherine Mae Barnaclo, is the wife of Mr. Frank Lee Wollard. They were married in ‘Baltimore just two weeks ago, and the fu- ture residence of. the young couple will de- pend largely upon how the young man’s mother-in-law receives the news. Both par- ties are well known in Northeast Washing- ton, Mr. Wollard having for a long time been a stenographer in the office of Super- intendent Alvey of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. For several months he has been stenographer in the office of Chief Clerk Syivester of the police department, and the clerks “in the office were very much sur- prised this morning when they heard of ‘the marriage. On the Ist day of this month the young couple went over to Baltimore, and at the parsonage of St. John’s Luth- eran Church they were married by the Rev. W. Burkart. They returned home im- mediately after the ceremony was per- formed, and Mr. Wollard has been calling to see his wife as regularly as he did ‘when she was only his “best girl.” Her mother has:lived in ignorance of the Baltimore cer- emony. .the destruction of caterpillar web: SDAY; OCTOBER.44, 1896-SIXTEEN. PAGES. THE SHADE TREES Observations by ez. ‘Saunders on the THE SOFT. WOOD RES WERE HORE How the Parkin Commission Has Managed its Work. ee FEW GOOD STREET TREES Mr. William Saunders, the veteran hor- ticulturist of the Agricultural Department, as a member of the parking commission, has submitted to the District Commission- ers @ report, as mentioned in yesterday's Star, on the effects of the recent storm on the shade trees of Washington. Mr. Saun- ders says: ‘Of those completely uprooted Caroiina poplars predominate, and it is esvecially noticeable that the trecs which have becn severely headed back and tops removed from time to time have suffered most. This was to be expected; the removal of branch- es, particularly when the trees ure in foll- age, destroys a corresponding portion of roots, and otherwise interferes with its healthful growth. An examination of these overturned roots will show that they are destitute of vigor and very limited in quantity. On the other hand, trees of this species, ten and twelve years planted, and now taller and larger in.every way than any of those destroyed, but which have never been pruned since they were first set In place, are today standing as they were before the blow, except with a loss of a few twigs here and there, forming cbject lessons of much value to those who are desirous of studying cause and effect. Error of Pruning. “Next to the poplars, the silver maples have suffered, so far as broken branches are concerned, a few have been uprooted, and mainly those that have been mest se- verely pruned in the past. Trees that have been headed back years ago, and have sprouted near the cuts are very liable to break off at these points. This tree above all others is prone to have branches split off during storms. It requires timely treat- ment when young, in diverting growth to a main central stem, from which all other branches are subordinate, no topping or cutting in of the main stem should be per- mitted, if it is topped off a number of branches will proceed from the cut part, forming side branehes which will ultimate- ly spiit apart during stcrms. Indeed, most of the damage to these trees'may be traced to injud'cious prunings, thus furnisning evidence of the injury resulting from these oftentimes unnecessary and hurtful manip- ulations. Elms Stood the Blaste, “Elm trees haye'not been greatly injured, and I think ncne have been uprooted; some branches have been twisted and wood split so as to injure the main stems, and the roots of thes? will ‘be yersoved. These trees have. never been subjected ta pruning ex- cept fc’: the removal af; branches injured by gales, or twigs than. ha: ved for ‘The plane trees, both native and foreign species, Stood the storm very well, and suffered but little damage, altHtfugh some few w rooted. The Norway came through the ordeal withous myyh damaxe. some few tly “de have been parti efaced by broken branches, and sonte trées, where'their roois have besn weakeattl tiy laying pavements, and setting news cughstones, have been prostrated. ‘Thig species is of sturdy growth, and is but Jittle affected by or- dinary, storm$:“It"ls So firmly rooted that several good-sizéd specimens have been broken short off, a sdrt distance above the ground. i 5 i Linden trees have fare well, soine broken branches have resulted, by, nothing, serious and few-uprooted. ; Widder Boxen: ome of thesregently, planted trees, pro- tected by wooden, boxes, have heen pros- trated. I have frequently had occasion io report that when trees so protected attain a size when the box is unable to support and control the tree during storms, it- be- comes a factor of weakness and injury. The'tree m swaying over breaks or draws up the stakes, carrying the box with it as it leans from the storm; but when it attempts to recover, the box being rigid, prevents the natural swaying back of the tree, so that every fresh blast bends it stiil farther, until it is eventually either broken or ’ pros- trated; so that those trees without boxe four or five years after vlanting, are less Mable to be blown down than are those where this protection is attached. “All of these young trees have been put Lack in their places, branches have been slightly trimmed, and probably they wil not suffer much from the blow, especially as this is the best period of the year for the formation of roots, in the absence of active growth. Older trees than these may he set again in place, and may live for a time, making feeble growths for a year or two, when they ultimately succumb..to the injury. Efforts to resuscitate such invalids do not prove, in practice, a profitable pro- cedure. Some History. “It may be well, for the sake of those who take special interest in our city trees, to re- cite some matters relating to their early history. The parking commission entered upon its duties as an advisory board, dur- ing the autumn of 1S7l. At that time the improvements on the streets involved the destruction of a great number of trees, which were dotted here and there, without order or system, some good, the majority of them otherwise, but all prized more or less by the householders who had planted them. Lamentations about their destruction were loud and prolonged, and many citizens re- fused to be comforted by the assurance that new trees would soon take the place of the old, and that tMese would, in a few years, furnish a palpable amount of shade and ornament. With the view of producing effects as soon as possible, and to amelio- rate the grievances produced by the re- moval of the old trees as far as practicabl the parking commission resolved to plant freeely of rapid growing kinds, such as the Carolina poplar, the ash-leaved maple, and the silver maple. The commission was well aware that the two. first mentiored were not by any means the best trees that could be selected for permanency. Its members had planted too many street trees to be misiaken in that, but they were convinced that the silver maple ts one of the best street trees that could be selected, a reputa+ tion that it continués to bear, if properly managed when yosng-i Few Good Street Trees. “The early plartin# was not, however, confined to this“ ¥elect! other species, ton; such as the lindeh, pine, elm, sugar and Norway meples; ald tultp-tree, were freely used.

As soon as this was accompl' .ed preparations were made, seed sown und cuttings plant- ed. Chly a few years passed when all the trees used on the streets were supplied from this source. Good Results, « “This has proved to be of great value in many ways; only such trees are grown as are wanted; their preparation for plant- ing is under control, and the loss from exposure and transportation is reduced tc a minimum, as only a few hours may elapse between the time of lifting the trees and placing them in their places on the streets; and the convenience of hav- ing an ample supply so immediately avail- able. has proved to be a factor of great value. This nursery has always been kept in the best condition, and has never been better supplied with trees, both in quan: a and quality, than it is at the present e. “The principal mistake made during the first decade of these planting operations was the improper preparation of the holes and insufficient quantity of good soil for them; setting trees too closely together, especially those of largest growth, and the system adopted of cutting off the tops as soon as a good top was formed. Ultimate- ly these objectionable practices and meth: ods have been modified or abandoned, but their results will be apparent for years tc come, or until new and better-conditioned plantings supersede the old. ———__ AN ENJOYABLE RECEPTION. The Veterans Entertaincd by the Ladies of the Auxiliary. Men who had gone fearlessly into thick- ets filled with hidden enemies and stormed frowning redoubts full of iron death sur- rendered in squads, companies and battal- ions at Willard’s Hotel last night, and be- came willing captives of a host of fair wo- men, who had established themselves in a veritable fortress of flowers, with a lavish supply of the ammunition which the sex knows 80 well how to use to good effect. The engagement began as carly as § o'clock, by which hour advancing files of veterans, with many camp followers of fewer years, began to make Willard’s the converging point, and from that time until midnight the cuntest raged. Of course, the ladies could have won it without effort, but they strained every effort to accompiish their alms, and this made their victory more pleasant to the conquered. The occa- sion was the reception to the visiung mem- bers of the Union Veteran Legion, given by the auxiliary of the Ladies of the ‘Loyal Le- gion, and it was held in the commodious parlors of che hotel. The apartments were profusely decorated with palms and other foliage plants and handsome flowers, and the scene while the old soldiers were fall- ing victims to the pleasant hospitality of their entertainers was a brilliant one. Nearly all the veterans who have reached the city were present at one time or an- other during the evening, and many mem- bers of local patriotic organizations were also in attendance. The guests were re- ceived by Mrs. Melvina B. Tuxbury of Wil- mington, Del., national president of the Ladies of the Union Veteran Legion, to whom the Introductions were made by Col. atles H.
