MYERS The commencement exercises of the Washington Normal School of the District of Columbia public school system took place at 10 o'clock this morning at the Franklin School building, forty-seven young. ies receiving diplomas that evidence a completion of many years of hard study and a fitness to become leaders of the littie children. Of the large class graduated a majority of them will become identified at ence with the schools of the capital city, while those not so fortunate will probably become identified with private institutions of learning. All have been trained with a view of their fitness in either respect.

The assist- the fa- made The rules which tration. ion, w are as follows: nims under the acts of January 0, and July ge from all enlistments ervice In the particular war to which refer is a prerequisite to pension. for pens under sections , Revised Statutes, on account y incurred in the line of duty during a term of enlistment from which the claimant deserted, the claim should be rejected for the reason that there is no period from which the pension could com- as claimant had never been dis- 'd from such term of service, and for the further reason that claimant, having violated and repudiated his said contract of enlistment, he thus forfeited all right to ’ benefits that were incident to such en- listment. If the claim for | rt nsion under ed Statutes, incurred in the based is y : line of duty during a term of enlistment from which the claimant was legally dis- upon charged, a desertion from a subsequent en- listment of itself is not a bar to pension. if the claim was filed prior to July 1, 1880, the pension would commence from the date of discharge from the term of enlistment during which the disability was incurred, but-such pension will cease upon re-enlist- ment and cannot be restored while in the service, nor while claimagt is in desertion from such subsequent enlistment. 4.If the disability was incurred in the service under a subsequent enlistment, while the claimant was a deserter from a prior enlistment, which had not terminated prior to such ‘re-enlistment, the claim should be rejected on the ground that the disability, wag, not incurred in the line of duty, but“whife claimant was absent from his proper cémmand, in violation of his former contract of enlistment. 5. The decision in the case of George Les- sor, in so far as the same conflicts with the rules, laiddown here, is overruled. a Why Hohson is Not Exchanged. LONDON, June 21.—The Madrid corre- spondent of the Times says: “Spain's re- fusal to excMange Lieut. Hobson and his companions of the Merrimac is easily ex- plained and justified. Without any tnten- tion of acting as spies they must have seen many things in or around Santiago about which the American naval and mili- tary authorities would gladly have infor- mation.” The New York Herald publishes the fol- lowing from its Madrid correspondent: The reason why the government, after much discussion, has finally decided not to re- lease Hobson and his colleagues of the Merrimac was that the result of their re- turn to the Untted States would be a pop- ular demonstration, resulting in strength- ening the jingo party, and, further, that from the military standpoint they had seen the fortifications of Santiago, and it was therefore impossible to let_them out. One noted member of the ministry has suggested that another question similar to that of the Maine might. arise if the pris- oners caught yellow fever and dicd. ary of tho} Willies P. Campbell of Seventh M- Hnols Victim of Accident. | William '’. Campbell, the teamster of the jth wi Volunteers who was injured striking his head against one of the trolley poles on the Falls Church electric road last week, died at the Emergency Hospital .bout 5 o'clock yesterday, Campbell was a senger on one of the cars, and, it ts aid, while leaning out was knocked off. | He was ward brought to the hospital. | Coroner Carr found that his skull had be@m | fractured. He gave a certificate of acci- dental death. The body turned over to friends for burial. s in which the defendants were charged with setting off fireworks in viola tion of law were heard in Judge Scott's court this morning. Two of the accused parties, Leon McDaniel, colored, and W Wallace, white, were fined $10 each, while in the case of Wm. Streets personal bonds were taken. In the case of McDaniel, who lives In Georgetown, it was charged that he exploded a torpedo. The evidence show- ed that a child of Mr. McDaniel bought a few torpedoes, and when one of them re- fused to explode she handed it to her father, who threw it on the sidewalk. For doing this the father paid $10. In the case of the Wallace boy Policeman Williams exhibited a pack of firecrackers. he boy, he claimed, had lighted them, but he (the officer) had grabbed them before they ex- ploded. This affair happened H street northeast. The boy made a denial of the charge, and his testimony was substantia ed by several of his companions, but his mother had to pay the $10. When the case of William Streets was tried a friend appeared in court and suc- ceeded in having the judge take his per- sonal bonds, ——————— Plea That Failed. “Not guilty,” was the plea of George Dorsey, colored, when arraigied in the Po- lice Court today for vagrancy. The com- ‘plaint was that George was found in an alley in Northeast Washington under sus- picious conditions, “L wasn't ‘spicious,” said George, who made a further explanation of Ais conduct. Hs was sent down for thirty days. ——— Sixty Days on the Farm. “Who's your friend?” Judge Scott in- quired of Charles Steele, who appeared in court on a charge of vagrancy. “James Wilson,” he answered, after some hesitation. “He was coming in town on a car and he asked me to come with him.” Policeman Stroman told the court cf the man’s arrest in Brookland, where he wes begging. The prisoner’s appearance indicated that he had_been on the road for several months @t least. The court imposed e sentence of sixty days on the farm. ——__—__— Alleged Pensiop Law Violators.
