[EMINENTLY USEFUL Advantages of the National Associa- tion to Popular Education. HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION Ardent Aids in the Work of Ar- ranging for the Convention. TREASURER AND SECRETARY nd No agency probably has proved so potent in aiding the development and application of wise ideas and progressive methods in the educational system of the United States than the Nationai Educational Association, which is to meet here in annual convention next week.

It was organized in Phil under the me of the Natio tion, this name bein ent designation in 1870. Incorporated in This City. It w incorporated February 24, 1886, in this city by Nerman A. Calkins, John Eaton and Zalmon Richards, the two latter being citizens of the District. The reserve fund of the association now amounts to $60,000, and when this amount has been in- creased to $100,000 it is the purpose to de- vote it to the establishment of a centr: permanent headquarters where all the bus ness of the tion will be conducted, and the annual conventions held. Owing to the fact that th: national capital is rapid- ly becoming the central gathering point for sreat educational institutiors, there is a Y general sentiment among the members ef the association in faver of establishing the headquarters in Washington. The a: sociation comprises three classes of mem- bers. Active members are teachers and all who are actively na the man- agement of utions, in- cluding librariss and periodicals. Assoc’ membership is nual fee of ship is residing in Ame who may be elected by the directory. Th> number of ecrresponding members can at no time exceed fifty. The coming convention will be the thirty-sev- enth held by the association, and the second held in Washington, the first convening here in 18% open to all w 2, and correspo:.ding member- Divided Into Departments. The work of the association is divided into seventeen departments, each of which s charge of some distinct branch of edu- tion. They are as follows: School su- perintendence, normal schools, elementary schools, higher instruction, industrial edu- cation, art, kindergarten, music, second- ary education, business education, child study, physical education, natural science instruction, school administration, educa- tion of the deaf, blind, etc., the library de- partment and the national council of edu- cation. Three Washintonians—Zalmon Rchards, William Torrey Harris, commis- sioner of education, and J. Ormond Wil- son—are life directors of the association. | John Hitz, Bishop Keane and Alexander Graham Bell are life members, and active members resident in Washington are W. N. Hailman, Mrs. E. L. Hailman, Supt. Wm. B. Powell, Mrs. Sara A. Spencer, Mr. A. A. O'Neill, Secretary. John Eaton, C. M. Lacey Sites, Susan Plessner Pollock, Allan Davis, Anna Tol- tinan Smith, President B. L. Whitman of Columbian University, Paul A. Steele and Rebecca Stoneroad, director of physical training in the District public schools. Educators from all over the country will come to the convention next week, and those who are unable to enjoy this advan- tege will watch its deliberations with in- terest. The admirable arrangements which are now being completed by the local com- mittees are meeting with unstinted praise from the national officers of the associa- tion, and when the thousands of visitors arrive they will unquestionably join their voices to this chorus of approval. Treasurer Bell. Two of the busiest men just now con- nected with the important work of the ar- ranging for the convention are Mr. Charles J. Bell, the treasurer, and Mr. Arthur A. O'Neill, the secretary of the general com- mittee. Mr. Bell, with his customary readi- ness to lend his ald to everything which tends to advance the interests of Washing- ton and the District of Columbia, without regard to its interference with his numer- ous and varied business interests, accepted the treasurership with cordial wiilingness, and is attending to its multitudinous duties with customary spirit. Every expenditure, of course, must he met by him, and whe: one considers what a multiplicity of things, little and big, demand money im-connectior. = with such a convention, it can be readily seen-that he has no sinecure. Secretary O'Neill. If there is one man buster than Treasurer Bell it is Secretary O'Neill. No one will deny the fact or charge the statement to partiality when it is said that the suc- cess of the convention, so far as its prelim- inary arrangements are concerned, will be due in a greater degree to Secretary O'Neill's zealous and indefatigable” efforts than to those of any other single individ- ual. All details have been more or less un- der his charge, and with excellent judag- ment and fine discretion he has acquitted himself of his many duties with ulvary- ing success. Mr. O'Neill is a Washington boy, born here nearly twenty-seven years ago, and after receiving his education in private schools went into active business life. For the past three years he has been connected in important capacities with the Washington Board of Trade. He acted as its secretary from the time Commissioner Wight received his appointment until Col. George H. Harries was chosen as the lat- ter’s successor, and is again acting in that capacity during Col. Harries’ aosence at the front. —— AMUSEMENTS, “INNOCENT AS A LAMB.”—Probably the most popular bill of last summer's comedy season at the Columbia, and the one which lingers most enjoyably in the memories of patrons of the first stock com- pany, was the yery funny farce from the clever combined pens of Walter Craven and Glenn McDonough, entitled ‘Innocent as a Lamb.” Roland Reed had previously play- ed a successful season on the road in this Piece, and its production at the Columbia Proved James O. Barrows his fitting suc- cessor in the principal role of the Lamb. Following out his policy of alternating “grave with gay” pieces, Mr. Barrows has scheduled this laughing success for next week, and the decision will doubtless be ratified by the patrons of the Columbia. It will be a complete contrast to the present excellent production of “Esmeralda,” for while in Mrs. Burnett's pretty idyll of North Carolina the players elicit tears as well as smiles, in next week's farce they will devote their entire talents to the pro- duction of unlimited merriment. The trans- formation of Mr. Barrows from the meek, henpecked and even more pathetic than comic “old man” Rogers to the gay old boy who under the gu of innocence achieves all sorts of comicai escapades, will be es- pecially marked, but Jimmy has p jou proved his ability in this line of work. In fact, the reputation he achieved last sum- mer was almost entirely as an imperson- ator of gay old fellows, who, in their at- tempts to be real wild and youthful, suc- ceeded in being funny-without offense, so that his work in semi-serious roles this sea- son has come as a genuine surprise. How- ever, everybody will be glad to see him again in one of the parts in which he first won Washington favor forever. In the meanwhile ‘Esmeralda’ is one of the big- gest hits of the season. SRMINIE.""—Manager Parry of the Glen Echo Opera Company has a treat in store for the patrons of that popular resort next week, when he will produce that most pop- ular of comic operas, “Erminie,”’ and in 50 doing he will score a beat on all the other summer opera companies of the country. Francis Wilson, Lulu Glaser, Pauline Hall and Henry E. Dixey have just closed a phe- nomenal engagement at the New York Ca- sino in a revival of the Jacobowsky opera up to date, and Mr. Parry has secured the rights to the complete Casino score, libret- to and scenario. Heretofore Mr. Wilson has refused all offers for the opera, as it was thought possible that he would use it himself next season, but through friendship for Mr. Parry, who, as stage manager of the Metropolitan Opera House, in New York, stands high with all the operatic magnates, he consented to let the piece for one week only. Throughout the season the Parry company has been progressing from good to better, both in the quality of its performances and the selection of its bills. “Fra Diavolo,”’ as presented by the com- pany this week, proves its ability to cope with the best music in the whole realm of opera comique, and fittingly to portray ro- mantic music drama; but while Auber’s de- lightful work is drawing large audiences, it is probable that the high-water mark of the season will be reached by ‘‘Erminie.” Certainly no light opera of recent years has gained such a general hold upon the affections of both musicians and the public at large, and there is no doubt that the Parry company can cast it satisfactorily. The very mention of Frank Deshon as a successor of Francis Wilson in the role of Caddy is enough to raise a laugh, while Viola D’Armon should sing the title role as it has rarely been done, and Allene Cra- ter just fits into the part of Javotte. The rest of the cast can easily be filled by tal- ent of this versatile and always efficient operatic organization. ——= Virginia Hot Springs.

Wilson, En- gineer Commissioner Beach and Gen. H. V. Boynton, met at the District building at 3 o'clock yesterday for the purpose of hearing Attorneys Lambert & Lambert in the matter of special benefits to be as- sessed against the property of the Van Riswick estate. Gen. Wilson stated that he had received a copy of the resignation of Mr. R. Ross Perry, and paid a high compliment to the great labors that gen- tleman has performed in park matters, ex- pressing the deep regret of his associates on the commission upon Mr. Perry's resi; nation, mention of which was made in ye: terday’s Star. After hearing a number of witnesses called by Messrs. Lambert & Lambert, B. D. Davis, James W. Ratcliffe and C. G. Sloan, the well-known auctioneers, and John S. Swormstedt, real estate dealer, the commission adjourned subject to the call of the chairman, Gen. Wilson. The resig- nation of Mr. Perry and the probable early departure of Gen. Boynton will seriously cripple the commission, Prof. S. P. Lang- ley, the other member, being absent from the city. At the previous meeting of the commis- sion Mr. Perry had explained that, as he had been of opposing counsel in the Van Riswick will case, in which Mr. T. A. Lambert and his son were deeply interest- ed, he felt that it would hardly be proper for him to sit on the commission during the presentation of their case before it. Mr. T. A. Lambert, however, stated that he and his son would be perfectly willing to have Mr. Perry pass upon their case, having the utmost faith in his fairness and iypartiality. ‘The witnesses called yesterday stated, as had the previous ones, that in their opin- ion neither the location nor the improve- ment of the park benefited specially any adjacent property. Mr. B. H. Warner also testified yester- day, as did Mr. James Elverson of Phils deiphia, the former saying that he be- lieved no improvement of the park would enhance the value of adjacent property, while the latter stated that his experience has been that parks similar to the Rock Creek Park depreciate the value of prop- erty near them, and drive people away fiom points near their boundaries. Sees EXCURSIONS, What a luxury it is to have a place like Marshall Hall where one can go and spend the entire day away from the hot, dusty city. The green lawns and well-kept walks neither retain nor reflect the heat and glare of the sun as do the asphalt streets. And there are the fresh, cool breezes, blowing from the river, that are a never-ending scurce of pleasure to the many who daily go to this beautiful resort. Marshall Hall is cool and pleasant on hot days. There are innumerable amusements and other means of diversion that appeal to both old and young—and the little ones always have the best kind of a time when they are taken to spend the day at Marshall Hall. Table d'hote dinner, including the famous Marshall Halt clam chowder, is served every day on the arrival of the boat. Steamer Charles Macalester leaves 7th strest wharf for Marshall Hall at 10 a.m. and ) p.m. Prof. Schroeder's Band al- ways accompanies the steamer and also furnishes the music for dancing at the Hall. Capital City Commandery, Knights of Malta, gave its annual excursion to River View yesterday, and over 1,200 of the friends and members of the order attended and had a most enjoyable time. The rain in the safternoon did not prevent many persons from attending, and both the after- noon and ening trips of the steamer Pentz were well crowded. At the View a merry time was had with music, dancing, shooting the chute, etc. Nearly every one waited until the last boat to return home, and the members are much pleased at the success of the affair. ——————— REGIMENT AT LARGE. Sons of Federal and Confederate Vet- crans F mun Organization. The Sons of Veterans’ regiment at large, known as “The William McKinley Sons of Veterans,” is a unique and at the same time most worthy object lesson to the country and to the world, being composed, as it is, of sons of veterans of the Union and con- e armies of 1861-5. The regimental are E. R. Campbell, colonel; Wa!- A.) office ter Howe (captain 4th Artillery, U. S. lieutenant colonel; majors, Lindsey, Lord and Coles; O. H. Budlong, adjutant, and Chas. B. Nichols, quartermaster. This or- ganization is preparing to go into service as a regiment at large, as the roster shows the composition to represent nearly every state in the Union. The War Department is favorably disposed toward the regiment, are it will be into service before very long. The colonel of the regiment was a of the District National Guard for about eight years, and at the time of his resig- nation was the ranking officer of the 2d Regiment, under Col. Cecil Clay. His ex- perience in military matters extends o a pertod of about thirty years. Lieut. Co! Howe is a graduate of West Point and has seen extensive service for about forty years. He is now in command of Fort Washington, Md. A bill is pending in Congress to authorize the enlistment of the regiment. ees First Grand Excursion to Piney Point Take Arrowsmith Saturday, July 2, 8 pm., returning July 4th, 9 p.m. Salt water bathing and fishing.

John Jones, cclored, aged twenty, was arrested yesteréay afternoon in Tenley- town by Policemen Bradley of the county mcovnted force, the charge being that he had acted ‘n a suspicious manner. He ciatmed to have something to eat for his mother, which he secured out in the coun- try, but when the bag he carried was open- ed it was found to contain a quantity of imsulated copper wire. He was taken to the station, and later Louis P. Hall, the superintendent and general manager of th> Georgetown and Tenleytown railroad, en- tered a complaint of larceny against the men. The wire was taken from Bethesda Park, but as that place is outside the city limits the charge was made for bringing stolen goods into the District.
