The building fas been occupied by the Western High .School for several years Past, but next season the High School will occupy the new building of its own at 35th and T streets, when the Curtis buiiding will be back again under the control of the supervising principal of the fifth division. It is understced that all of the public schools now conducted in private buildings will be returned to the Curtis building. The cooking school, which is now in a private residence on P street, it is said, will be placed in the building. The manual train- ing schocl, now using two buildings on street between Dumbarton avenue and street, may be moved to the Curtis, to y nothing of the establishment of new grades. Altogether the building will . be Well filled up when the school term opens. Good Templars Enterta‘ At the last regular meeting of Independ- ent Lodge of Good Templars members and visitors were entertained. After routine, business and the initiation of a candidate a musical and literary program was render- ed, opening with a piano duet by Miss Haddie Ager and Miss Sebastian. A vocal solo by Miss King, with Miss Ager as ac- companist, was followed by an address, delivered by Rev. Stanley Billheimer, pas- tor of the Lutheran Church. A recitation was given by Miss Eva Gladmon, after which the Wilson brothers and Mr. Bowles formed an instrumental trio. “The Cloud on the Honeymoon” was rendered by Miss Gladmon and Messrs. Richardson and Wil- liam Allen. The entertainment closed with a piano solo by Miss Esther Theurer, after which the audience was given an abund- ance of ice cream and cake. Real Estate Sales. Several sales of real estate property in this section have been recorded of late, showing continued activity in that direc- tion. The Lang Hotel property, near the corner of 32d and M streets, has been sold by the trustees, William H. Saunders and Julian T. Burke, for $13,710. The property was purchased by the trustees. Mary A. Godey has purchased from John Staub and others, heirs of the late Jacob Staub, part of lot 16, in square 1271. The property is located on 32d street near P street, east side, and is improved by a two- story frame dwelling. The consideration is given at $5,000. Laura V. Parris has sold to Bessie H. Parris part of lot 199, of square 1257, at an unnamed consideration. The property is lo- ceted on the south side of P street, mid- way of 30th and 3ist streets. John Sevier has bought of Margaret M. Mitchell and others, heirs of Sidney V. Mitchell, part of lot 15, in square 1270. The property is located on the north side of P street between 31st and Valley streets. P street bridge is in a rather torn-up con- dition. The cortractor in charge of the work of widening the structure, under an appropriation by Congress, is carrying out his part of the agreement as quickiy as pessible, and has a large force of men at werk. The entire north side, roadway and fcctwalk, is practically closed, and the old iren railing is row temporarily located close to the edge of the car track. The iron flying girders, with their supports, have already been put in place on this side and the iron railing fastened securely thereon. Tie stcne embankment on either side of the bridge has been cut through ‘nd means afforced for strengthening the structure. When everything is completed, which will be at.tke end of July, the bridge will be of even width with the street. The bridge as it now stards, however, is in a weakened condition, and the cars of the Metropolitan road cross the structure at aa extremely low rate of speed. A new iron railing will shortly be put in place over the M street bridge. The Com- missioners recently advertised for pro- pesals for the work. The bid of Charles White & Co., the lowest received, was ac- cepted. The cost of the improvement will be $520.

Stereotypers’ Demands Cause Tem- porary Suspension of Newspapers. The following bulletin was posted at ev- ery Chicago newspaper office last evening at 10 o'clock: “At 8 o'clock this (Friday) evening the Stereotypers’. Union notified the newspaper publishers of Chicago that unless their de- mands for an increase of wages from $3.25 to $4 per day, a reduction of the working day from eight to seven hours, with pay- ment at the rate of 75 cents per hour for all overtime, and other concessions, were at once acceded to they would refuse to re- turn to work. In consequence of this ac- tion the , in common with all other Chicago papers, will not appear Saturday.” This action of the newspapers was in pur- suance of an understanding recently enter- ed into, including, among other provisions, the following agreement: “In the event of a strike in any of the de- partments of one or more of the Chicago daily newspaper offices the mechanical re- sources of all our offices shall be pooled to the extent and with the purpose that no newspaper shall be published unless and until all the newspapers can be promptly published on the same day.” “ The stereotypers have been averaging $19.50 to $22 per week on six-day evening papers, and from §24 to $27 on seven-day morning papers. It is anticipated that the influx of stereotypers from all parts of the country will be so immediate and so great that the interruption of publication will continue for but a few days. —-—--+ e+ THE PULLMAN DIVIDENDS. Important Action by the Directors of “the Palace Car Company. The board of directors of the Pullman Palace Car Company yesterday adopted resolutions for a quarterly dividend of $2 per share, payable on and after August 15, and also a special dividend of $20 per share. The regular dividend to be hereafter de- clared on the capital stock should, in the opinion of the directors, be at the rate of six per cent per annum» They also recom- mend that the surplus’ assets of the com- pany, to the extent of $18,000,000, existing at the end of the current fiscal year should be distributed to the stockholders of the company, and that for such purpose the capital stock should be increased to the sum of $54,000,000, and that the increase of stock should be issued to shareholders in the ratio of one share for each two held by them. The stock-dividend part of the deal amounts practically to a capitalization of the surplus. At the beginning of the pres- ent fiscal year the surplus was $27,505, After deducting quarterly and cash divi- dends of $7,920,000 and stock dividend of $18,000,000, a surplus of,$1,585,950 is left. The object of this cApitalization of sur- plus, distribution of cash dividend and de- crease in future dividend rate is undoubt- edly for the purpose of warding off hostile legislation in the future and of .prevent- ing “undue” taxation on earnings. As the suit with the Central Transportation stock+ holders was lately settled, there was noth- ing further to prevent the accomplishment of the plan, which was the original wish of the late George M. Pullman. —+-2+___ HEADS THE HIBERNIANS, John P. Keating of Chicago Chosen President of the Order. The national convention of the Ancient Order of Hibernians finished its work at Trenton, N. J., last night and adjourned sine die. In the election of officers John P. Keat- ing of Chieago was chosen national presi- dent by a vote of 167 to 114 over Edward J. Slattery of Massachusetts; James E. Bolan of Syracuse, N. Y., was elected vice president without opposition; James ‘Sulli- van of Philadelphia was re-elected national secretary by a vote of 127 to 116 for James P. Bree of Connecticut; P. T. Moran of Washington, D. C., was elected national treasurer, and P. J. O’Connor of Savannah, Ga,; Edward J. Slattery of South Fram- ingham, Mass.; N. J. Burns Palladaabe is and Patrick A. O'Neil of Philadel were elected national directors. Boston was selected for holding the next national convention, in May, 1900. In _the resolutions adopted the proposed Anglo-American alliance was condemned, as well as any alliance with any Buropean powers. . —_——_e+____ District Soldiers Discharged. Private William B.

He Has Had Enough of Service Undw y the Belgian F z and Yearns for Hom Mr. Joseph McCann has received a most interesting lotter from his friend, Frank Y¥, Batchelor, dated at Ukongo, in the Congo Free State, March 11 last. Mr. Batchelor was one of the young men of this city who enlisted with the King of Belgium, two years ago, for service in the Congo, in com- mand of th natives, His letter is as fol- low: Your letter of November 10, 1807, was received at Lokandu yesterday as I was de- scending the river in a canoe to Stanley Falls, where I had been ordered. I received orders at Kabambarre to start at once for the falls and left there February 8, and after a walk of 200 miles arrived at Kas- ©rz0, on the Congo river. There I took @ cano2, intending to go to the falis as order- ed, and was congratulating myself on be- ing that much nearer home. When I reach- Lokandu, on the 27th of February, Ij found Baron Dhaals there with his army. preparing for an expedition against the’ Batatelas. There I received a dispatch’ from the gov-rnor general ordering me to te rn back and proceed to Mtoa, on Lak Sanganika, and which is the most far ade vanced station from Boma in the Congo. I wiil now have to go all the way back to’ Kabambarre and then walk 30) miles east} from there to Lake Sanganika. I hay been cursing this luck and this country ever since I left Lokazdu this morning. I arrived at this village at about 2 p.m. and will stay here for the night and will start out early tomorrow morning for the n>xt one about twenty miles up the river, and so on till I reach Kasongo, which will take about ten days. This village is like all er African villages—small mud houses with grass roofs. Hippopotamus Steak. “The first thing I did when I got out of My canoe was to go up town and look for a saloon where I id get a glass of beer, the day being rather warm, but the only thing I could find was malufu or palm* wine. It will do on a pinch. My two slaves are at present getting my dinner ready and I have nothing to cat b chicken, rice, sweet potatoes, canned sweet peas and coffee, with ‘condensed, milk. Coming down the river I had some hippopotamus steak. It is very good and hardly tell it from beefst it fried . OF haps it has been so long since I had a piece of beefsteak that I am unable to judge. At Lokandéu I wrote to the govern- or general informing him that my con- tract would expire in one year (thank God) and to send up my successor, as T wanted to leave Boma next March. One must do that here or they will think he wants to stay an extra year, for which one receives an extra $200 be: me, for I intend to leave Boma on March 6, 1899, or on the first steamer leaving after that date. I suppose the reason that I am. being sent to Lake Sanganika is be-* cause there are two fellows there whose time ts finished, and another reason is that one must be able to speak English there, as it is on the boundary of the Eng- lish possessions, Shooting the Rapids. “My canoe is about ten feet Jong and in the middle of it there is a small roof about ! seven feet long and four feet wide for a protection against the sun. Between! Kasongo and Lokandu there are three rapids and it is usual for a white man to get out of his canoe and walk around them, | it being very dangerous. I stayed in the conoe at the first ones, but walked around the others. The way that canoe whizzed‘ past the rocks made the hair on the back ! of my head stand out straight. I had ten! paddles in the canoe at the time and may- be those coons don't know how to handle acanoe. It was like going down a tobog- gan slide. I felt so grateful when I ar- ved at the end that I gave them four yards of calico to divide among them-! selves, which may scem rather small, but to them it was regarded as a fine gift.’ For two yards of calico, which cost about 15 cents, one can buy six chickens. Every native here has plenty of chic which accounts for the American negro's fond« ness for them, and they steal them from each other just the same as an American negro—Cuckoo—Georgetown! Deaths of Five of His Party. “Out of ten Americans who signed the contract in Washington five are dead. Ar- mour died of dysentery, also Ball; Burke and Mellen were killed and Savage died of fever. Mellen was killed by his own men when the soldiers of the Nile expedition mutinied. His company was two days in advance of the others when his soldiers came up to him one morning and told him! that he was a good man, but that they were going to kill him—and they did it. Then the mutiny spread and the whole business mutined. Burke was killed while on @ reconnaissance, and his body was eaten. Celebrated Waxhington’s Birthday. “I saw Page, another American, at Ny- angive, and, as I happened to be there February 22, we celebrated Washington’s birthday, as he had just received his allow- ance of wine—five gallons every three months is the allowance here, and I must say it 1s not sufficient for the thirst that one has in a tropical climate. 1 will be but seven months at Lake Sanganika when I will start for home. The place where I am going is across the lake from Wiyi, near where Livingston died. It becomes very monotonous, this traveling in Africa especially when one walks about twenty five miles a day under a hot sun. 1 weigh 140 pounds now, but hope that after a long sea voyage, which will be necessary for me to get home, to get back to my old weight. Please excuse pencil, as I have no ink with me, and will have to wait till I get to Nyangive fn order to address this letter. Give my regards to the boys. Hope to see you about May, "99. I received a promotion last July.” pe PEOPLE’S PARTY ADDRESS. Call for a ational Convention at Cincinnati Monday, September 5. The people's party paper of Atlanta yes- terday published an address from the na- tional organization committee, calling for a national convention at Cincinnati Monday, September 5, to nominate candidates for President and Vice President and outline a plan of campaign to cover the next two years in anticipation of the election of 1900, The national reorganization committee Was appointed by the populist convention at Nashville, July 4, 1897, and that con- vention was called into existence by T. E. Watson to counteract the efforts of Senator Marion Butler, chairman of the national executive committee, for fusion with the democrats. The committee reviews the his- tory ef the anti-fusion movement and re- pudiates Butler and his committee. The basis of representation is two dele- gates at large for each state and territory and the District of Columbia, and one ad- ditional delegate fer each 2,000 populist votes cast in any election since 1880. The address is signed by Milton Park, chair- man. 5 > —— eo | Naval Orders. : Tieut. Commander J. C. Wilson has been detached from the Wabash and ordared to command the Viking. ‘ Lieut. G. C.
