Te the Editor of The Evening Star: Much has been written of |: on certain features of the practical workings of our ve excellent Distric school system, which, whole, Is undoubtedly of high grade. t there are some points in my judgment quite open to just criticism. For instance, writing words out of school hours as a punishme' Within a week, in one cf our principal city s:hools, the children were seized on one occ with that pec common and dren sion in one of the rooms nervous condition, quite natural to all heaithy chil- times to grown up children ugh at almost nothing, and could no more resist that impulse than could stop breathing.

Some of the children obeyed the merciless decree and as one of the little girls, who declares that she was not among the laughers, expressed it, “made a scribble of it others brought notes from their mothers, asking that they he excused. Surely such an exercise could not be of ary service in the way of im- proving the penmanship, and as a punish- ment for a most trifling infringement of school rules would be very unjust, especial- ly to all who did not laugh. Not very long ago the writer passed a couple of lttle misses on the street on way home from school one evening, he heard one say to the other, “ to write twenty words tonight ten times.” Going home to write 200 words, after being in school all day! It does seem to an old teacher that reform at this point is in order. I am aware of the fact that order is the school Yoom’s first law, as weil as heaven's, but in some of our scFools the order is unnatural and oppressive.

Butter and Eggs Higher—Generaily Firm Prices. ‘The quotations in the local wholesale produce market today show that butter is still advancing, the finest grades of goods being a cent a pound higher today than they were a week ago. There is also a decided advance in eggs, they being 2 cents a dozen higher. Cheese remains es last reported, but owing to the cooler, weather poultry is not only firmer, but prices are stronger and with an upward tendency. Game shows little, if any, change since last week, and vegetables and fruits exhibit only those changes in price noted from week to week. And this is also true of beef an-l other meats. The market is firm throughout and is well suppiied. Butter is not only higher, particularly in the higher grades, but it is much firmer, and exhibits a strong upward tendency. So, still higher prices may be confidently expected during the coming week. ‘To- day's prices: Elgin extras, 25 cents a pound; choice, 22; firsts, 20; seconds, 18; bakers’ choice stock, 14 to 15; New York tubs, 1S; dairy print, 16; western, 14; Maryland and Virginia creamery, 19; dairy packed, 15. Strictly fresh eggs continue difiicult to obtain, and their price is advancing, aud will continue to advance until after the holidays at least. However, there are many storage goods on the market, and they greatly influence prices. The following are today’s prices: Nearby fresh, 23 cents a dozen; western, 22 cents, and southera, 21 cents. Cheese remains unchanged, us may be seen from the following quotations: Full cream, large, 1-cents a pound; flats, 12, and ponys, 12 1-2c. Poultry is arriving in much improved con- dition, and while prices are practically those of last week, there are indications of an upward movement. Prices prevail- ing today: Choice turkeys, undrawn, Ib., 10 to 12 cents; undrawn, large, per !b., 8 to 9; live, toms, per Ib., 6 to 8; live, small, per Ib., 6 to 8; chickens, drawn, per Ib., 10 to 1 ndrawn, per Ib., 10; live, per ‘b., 8 10 10; spring, live, per Ib., 10 to 11; old fowls, drawn, per Ib., 9 to 10; undrawa, per lb., ® to 10; live, per lb., 6 to 8; ducks, dressed, per ¥b., 8 to 10; live, large, per ib., old, ® to 10; live, spring. young, 8 to 10; geese, live, per Ib., 7 to 8; dressed, 9 to 10.

STAR, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1896—24 PAGES. DEAD IN. HER BED Annie Engel Suffooated by Inhaling Ilu- No Reason for Suicide Known—Was a Bright and Respected Girl of German Parentage. Annie Engel, a young white girl, about 22 years of ags, employed as a domestic in the family of Mrs. Louisa Kloman, 918 M street, was found dead in bed this morn- ing. The room wes full of gas from the burner which was turned on full head, and the girl had doubtless been dead for a couple of hours when she was discovered. The unfortunate young woman had been in low spirits for some time past, but so far as known there was no reason for suicide and no letter or other clue has been found to show that she intended to take her own life. She had been employed as cook in the family for about seven months, and had earned the respect and liking of all with whom she came in con- tact. The house is a large, double brick structure, with a wide hallway in the cen- ter. The maids’ rooms are in tae back building, but during the cold weather An- nie had occupied the hall bed room on the second floor. When the upstairs maid, who gces home at night, reached the house this morning she thought the cook had overslept and so informed Mrs. Plant, Mrs. Kloman’s daughter. Mrs. Plant knocked on the girl's door, but went on down stairs without waiting for an answer. As nothing was heard from Annie Mrs. Plant went back again a little before 8 o'clock. As repeated knockings brought no response she summoned the other members of the family. Mr. Edward Kloman tried to break in the door, but finally secured admission through the transom. He threw up the windows, letting in a gust of fresh air. The girl was dead in bed and had evi- dently died without a struggle. Drs. How- ard and Duffy were called in at once, but there was nothing for them to do. The dead girl comes of an excellent Ger- man family cf this city and was quite a pretty girl. She had recently taken a civil service examination and was unusually in- telligent for a gir! in her position. How the accident could have occurred, if acci- dent it was, is a mystery. The young wo- man was perfectly familiar with gas burn- ers, and this particular one was in good working order and had been tested by a plumber within a year. The young woman retired about 9.30 o'clock last evening, and as the room is a small one it would not take Icng to fill it with gas. Had the burner been open all night it is thought that the odor of gas would have been noticed by others in the house. The only suppositicn is that she arose at an early hour this morning and turned on the gas, either purposely or accidentally. When the room was entered this morning she was attired in her night clothes, and the bed clothes were drawn up over her as if she was still agleep. During the morning the coroner was notified, and after investigating the case, gave @ certificate in accordance with the facts. ———__. The Need for a Hospital for Conta- gious Diseases, To the Editor of The Evening Star: The present prevalence of diphtheria is of sufficient extent to make the need of a hospital for contagious diseases most evi- dent. The city is already well supplied with hospitals, which are, however, very insuffictently supported, and yet. there are no arrangements made for the proper care of cases of contagious diseases. Consider- ing the large percentage of individuals dying annually from these diseases, mainly children, to be sure, the lack of proper means of caring for them is a disgrace to any community calling itself Christian and civilized. The obstruction which has been put in the way of the construction of such a hospital in this city is a mark of narrow- minded obstinacy and selfishness. It is 4 strange reflection that the educated laity should deem themselves better judges of the danger to the surrounding neighbor- hood from such a hospital than doctors who have carefully studied the risks at- tendant on the construction and existence of such institutions. It is pure ignorance’ on the part of the laity, who have not thoroughly studied such questions, to main- tain that serious dangers, or any danger worthy of consideration, will follow the building of a hospital for these diseases, and they do the community a great wrong in hindering a most necessary means for limiting these diseases. Their selfishness is also exhibited in raising the value of purchasable land, instead of allowing it to be sold at a fair price for a most worthy institution. The lack of true Christian charity is most evident, and, spite of the very strong and persistent efforts made by a number of ladies of this city to secure the erection of such a building, they havo been hampered on all sides hy bigotry and legislaticn. It is now impossible for such @ hospital to be built where it would be of most use. The acts of legislation demand such a large space of open ground about a hospital for these diseases as makes it im- Possible to erect one really within the city limits. The citizens seem to be afraid of such a hospital, and yet there is every day infinitely more danger arising from the present isolation, so-called, of those suffer- ing from contagious diseases than would ever arise from a hospital. Not oniy is there mere danger from the existing order of things, but there is infinitely more suf- fering and expense incurred by all parties. Houses are posted! What does that mean Simply that the people inside are not sup- posed to go out; but there is no evidence that they do not go out, and so spread the disease still further. How much control do we ordinarily have over our colored vants? We cannot prevent them from sit- ting on the back steps or in the back yar and communicating with their next-door neighbors. Then how is a house to ie thoroughly sterilized? Under this system of posting it is not for a moment to be be- Meved that the individuals within do not pass from one room to another, and come in contact with those who are caring for the sick; so that at the end it is not a ques- tion of purifying and sterilizing one room, but the whole house needs purifying. I am not now speaking of the rich, who can af- ford to have nurses, and who can carry out true isolation. But it is of the poorer classes, who live within narrow compass, and who cannot have nurses. When one thinks of the large number of people in this city who have no servants, or possibly only one to come in by the day, the difti- culties and dangers of the present system for care of those with infectious diseases is at once evident. The present system is a far greater expense in the long run to the city than a hospital would be, and to the poor people is a most unjust and unneces, sary burden. Sterilization means in large measure destruction of many articles, which might well be saved. Perhaps the experse might not be considered were we confident that the isolation was truly car- ried out. But we are certain it is not. It cannot be. Under the present system we have no doub: that many cases are not re- ported at all simply to save a family from this unfair burden of isolation. It is not necessary that officeholders should be kept away from their duties for weeks and months because 2f a case of illness in the house, and the loss to such people is often very large. Already two of the public schools have had to be closed this past month, and we do not know when it may be necessary to close others. New cases of diphtherla are announced daily in the pa- pers; there were nearly a hundred in the month of November, and a sufficient num- ber during this month to threaten a wider extension of the disease. It is a crying shame that the little children should be made to suffer unnecessarily, due to the ignorance and stupidity of their fathers. There would be less deaths in a hospital than under the present system, and many precious lives would be spared. I trust that something may be done and done soon to rectify the present abuse, and that the citi- zens will see to what dangers they are sub- mitting themselves, and how much suffer- ing and poverty might be spared were they a little more charitable and open-minded.

COMMISSIONER BHICE CO-OPERATES Conferences on the Subject With Very Gratifying Results. OPERATIONS TO SOON BEGIN The anglers who whip the waters of the Potomac in search of that greatest of game fishes, the small-mouth black bass, and who have for several years past regarded with alarm the steadily diminishing supply of their favorite fish, will find the coming winter a most propitious one in its bearing upon their future enjoyment of this sport. In the first place the stock of fish in the river proper will be very largely increased by the transfer to the waters of the Po- tomac of all the bass that are now in the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, and, in the second, the West Virginia legislature, up- on its assembling, will pass the bill already passed by the legislatures of Maryland and Virginia, making it illegal to catch bass during the spawning season in the spring or to catch them at any other time other than with the hook and line. The systein by which the bass will be taken from the canal and put back into the river will be an interesting one. How They Get There. As all expertenced anglers know, the canal is full of bass. It is fed from the Potomac, and when the water is let in the bass come in with it, and remain petween the narrow banks until the water is with- drawn In winter. Heretofore the fish thu left In the mud and pools that remain after he water is taken out of the canal have either been smothered in the slime or frozen when cold weather came. This year as soon as the water is drawn off, which will be about December 20, all the pools will be seined, the small-mouth and large- mouth bass they contain tcansferred to the river, and the carp, of which thousands will undoubtedly be caught, will be killed, as the carp is the most destructive enemy the bass family has. Dr. Massamore of Maryland. The arrangements tor seining the canal were virtually completed yesterday, when Dr. George W. Massamore, the deputy game warden of Maryland, and the secre- tary and treasurer of the Maryiand Game and Fish Protective Association, came over to this city. Dr. Massamore is a represen- tative gentleman sportsman in the mcst superlative degree. He is experienced and expert as an angler, is an excellent shot and an amtable companion, and, moreover, he is a hearty and vigorous champion of any means or method which seeks to pro- tect fish or game, dnd increase the supply. The idea of seining the canal and saving the quantities of bass. which would other- wise be killed origmated with Dr. Massa- more, and he placed himself in correspond- ence with Dr. Walter S. Harban of the Blue Ridge Rod an@ Gun Club of this city, who also enjoys a reputation as enviable as that of Dr. Massamore. ‘There was some correspondence upon the subject and it became evident that there would have to be co-operation among the Maryland and District anglers in order to meet the expense of the proposed undertak- ing. Commissioner Brice Takes Action. While this was being considered, Co:n- mander John J. Brice of the navy, United States ish commissioner, whose practical policy in directing this important bureau of the goverrment has already gained him wide renown, returned from California. A gentleman who had learned of the proposal to seine. the canal and who was heartily enthusiastic over the subject visited Com- missioner Brice immediately. upon his re- turn and informed him of the proposition. The commissioner immediately said he would assist in the good work in any way in his power and iast night at his resi- dence, the Arlington, there was a consul- tation between Dr. Massamore, Dr. Har- ban and himself, which was highly satis- factory; when Commissioner Brice, with his customary directness, opened the con- versation by saying that he would do any- thing required of his bureau in assisting the work, and it was finally decided tnat he would furnish the necessary seines ard a number of expert men to join with those to be supplied by the Maryland association and the Washington clubs. Canal Superintendent Nicholson, Dr. Massamore during his visit yesterday also saw Col. G. L. Nicholson, the efficient superinterdent of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, who immediately promised to co- operate in the work in every way possible. Col. Nicholson will give the necessary per- mits for the seining of the various pools and when the water {s drawn off the canal he will have it drawn off slowly, so that none of the fish now in it will leave. Some idea of the scope of the operations to be undertaken may be gained from che fact that the canal is 186 miles long and will be seined at the polrts where the water col- lects in the pools and small lakes from Cumberland to Georgetown. Dr. Massa- more returred to Baltimore this morning, and in a few days all the plang will be completed for the prosecution of the work described. There will be some funds reces- sary for the prosecution of the work ard it is believed that the fishermen who are devoted to bass fishing will subscribe the small sum necessary and a subscription paper will be circulated here and in Bal- timore in a few days. Congress to Be Appronched. During the conversation at the Arlington last night the question of appropriate laws to protect the Potomac, which Is admitted- ly the finest bass stream in the world, was brought up, and the law already passed by Maryland and Virginia and to be passed this winter by West Virginia was spoken of. ‘This law when it goes into operation will be active only as far down the :lver as Little Falls, and it was agreed to take measures to get Congress to pass a simi- lar bill extending the provisions of the statute to the southeast boundary of the District. The question of the authority of the District over the bed of the Potomac is undisputed, because when the United States ceded back to.

While talking om:the subject uf fish pro- tection Commissioner Brice gratified his visitors by announcing that in an em- phatic and significant manner: “I believe that the best way to protect the fish in American waters fs to fill them so full of fish that laws for their protec- tion will not be needed.” Probably no executive officer of the gov- ernment ever indfeated the policy he in- tended to pursue in a more direct and gratifying manner. —_=+__ J. Jay Gould’s Wenders for Children!—Adv. —__ There are four hundred and nineteen miles of paved streets in New York city, and it costs over three million dollars a year to keep them clean. Under Tamma- ny’s rule the money went into the pockets of the politicians. Under the present re- form administration it is spent honestly, and New York is now one of the oleanest of American cities. Col. G. E. Waring has charge of the work, and gives a very inter- esting description of it in an article which he has written for the next volume of the Youth's Companion. Are You Thin?

The Choral Society is now going to ac- tively rehearse the Messiah, which will be given at the Congregational Church dur- ing the Christmas holidays. This work is given annually by the society, and so the members are thoroughly familiar with the score, yet Prof. Kaspar, the musical di- rector, wants each performance to be bet- ter than the one that preceded it, and he insists that all shall attend the rehearsals. The soloists will be Mr. Ericsson Bushnell of New York, Mrs. W. H. Shir-Cliff and Mr. W. D. McFarland of this city, and Miss Sophia Church Hall of Baltimore. The prospectus of the society is out, and the responses are beginning to come in. It is hoped by the board of managers that the number of sustaining members will be sufficiently large to meet all the expenses and to create a surplus which shall wipe out the slight debt left over from last year. The Washiazton Saengerbund will give its first big concert this season tomorrow night at the Columbia Theater. This will be the first opportunity for the public to observe the progress and improvement the bund has made under its present musical director, Mr. Henry Xander. Those who have attended the musjcales at the club house know that the vocal work of the bund has been steadily improving, and it is expected that tomorrow night its singing will be up to a high standard. The Saen- gerbund will sing Beschnitt's “Rhein- fahrt,” Lorenz's “Fang, Mein Suesses Herzeus_ Kindchen;" Maer's “Wie Die Wilde Ros’ im Wald” and Abt’s “De: Liedes Verklaering.” The bund will be as sisted by an excellent orchestra of picked musicians, that will play the overture to “William Tell,” selections from “Carmen” and will accompany the bund in its last number. The soloists will be Mrs. Kitty Thompson Berry, will sing the Jewish scng from “Faust; Mr. Otto Luebkert. who will sing Cantor's “Du Best wie Eine Blume” and the Barcaroile trom “La Gia- conda;” Mr. Chas. F. Crosby, who will sing @ group of tenor songs, and Mr. Herman Rakemann, who will play the andante anf! finale from Mendelssohn's violin concerto. ‘The remaining number on the program 1s the well-known trio from “Attila,” by the three singers above mentioned. The whole will be under the direction of Mr. Henry Xander, : The Washington String Orchestr: is under the direction of Mr. F t Lent, will give its first concert this season next y night at the Universalist Church. This body of amateur musicians has grown in number as it has Improved in its playing, and its work now commands warm praise. The program has been arranged with a good dea? of care, and the selections for the orchestra have been chosen so that it will appear at its best. In the opening and ciosing numbers—Meyerbeer’s “Coronation” march and two of Moszowski's Spanish dances—the orchestra will be aided by pianos. The other numbers for the orches- tra are the Allegro Moderato and Sara- bande, from Robt. C. Stearns’ suite; Mr. Lent’s “La Columbin: Baccherini’s Si ond Minuet, Laub's “Slavic Fairy Ta and Meyer-Helmud’s Serenade —Roccoco. ‘The soloists will be Mrs. lJ. Clay Browning, who will sing Alableff's Russian Nightin- gale and the grand aria from “La Travi- ata,” and Mrs. Ernest Lent, who will play two of Mr. Lent’s piano compositions, a concert mazurka and three meditations and Liszt's Hungarlan Rhapsody No. 12. Mr. Otto Luebkert, who assisted Mss Lotta Mills at her recital, is coming tor- ward as a baritone singer, for he will be one of the soloists in the Saengerbund con- cert tomorrow night. He has a voice of excellent quality “and good power and phrases quite intelligently. He is the most promising amateur that has been heard here in some time. Miss Florence MecNelly has resigned her position as contralto soloist at the First Congregational Church. Her resignation is deeply regretted by her numerous (church and musical) friends. Miss Nelly will continue singing before Washington aadi- ences, and her voice will undoubtedly be heard in some church choir. Master Randolph Sweet, who sang last season with St. Mark's Episcopal choir, 1s one of the soloists this season at Trinity Episcopal Church. Mr. Alexander Mosher has resigned his position as tenor of St. Mary’s Church, to take effect December 31. The comic cpera “Patierce,” which is to be produced shortly by the pupils and friends of Prof. H. E. Saltsman and Mr. William de Ford, is being rehearsed with great care. The chorus is large and well- balanced, and is working with much en- thu | Mr. de Ford, who is still suf- fering from the effects of a fractured thigh, will be unable to direct the stage or sing the role of Bunthorne as he had expected, and Mr. W. H. Conly will assume these duties for him. During the first act Miss Jennie Tyrer, as Lady Angela, will intro. Guce the beautiful song “Gift of Gifts,” compesed by Miss Wilmuth Gary of this city. The following ladies and gentlemen compose the cast, many of whom are well known to the musical public: Colonel Cal- verley, Mr. Chas. Bell: Major Murgatroyd, H. Wright; Duke of Dunstable, Mr. Reginald ‘Bunthorne, Mr. W. H. Archibald Grosvenor, Mr. P. H. Maxwell; Banthorne’s solicitor, Mr. Stein- bach; Lady Angela, Miss Jennie Tyrer; Lady Saphir, Miss Ella Ehlshlager: Lady Ja, Miss Elanor Burgess: Lady Jane, Miss Sva Whitford, and Patience, Miss Nellie Macnulty. ‘The Sunday Night Music Club met at Miss Rebecca Behrend’s and played a pro- m of Washington composers, including six by Prof. Ernest Lent, selected by the club as illustrating his versatility as a com- peser, and consisting of a trio, a quartet, a quintet, a piano duet, a gavotte and an air and Variations for’ violin and piano; four numbers by Mr. Lovy, a minuet for piano and strings, a quartet, four hands plano and strings, a fugue and an andante: together with a nocturne for violin and piano by Robert C. Stearns, one of our younger musicians, who is’ in Brussels, studying composition and violin under Ysaye. ———— Money to lend at 5 and 6 per cent on real estate. Frank T.
