Affords Superior Facilities in All Branches of Stady—Fine Loca- tions—Splendid Views. The pupils of the Western High School are to cnjoy the privilege this fall of enter- ing a building remarkable rot only among our city school edifices, but also among the school buildings of the country. In the first place its location is an ideal place for study. Bult on the ground of the cld Harle estate, formerly known as “The Ce it stands wcil back from the street, in the midst of fine old trees. To the south and north etretch, open fields, a short distance to the west is a belt of woos, and to the east the eye is pleased by the prospect of quiet old Georgetown homes. The streets of the vicinity are of asphalt. This merit may not be appreciated unless one has strained his voice, as teacher or pupil, in one of the other high schools try.ng to drown the ain of market wagons rattling over els blocks, the clanginy of gongs on electric cars and the deafeniig cries of the children whose chief delight #t rec praeticing Indian war-whoops under high school windows. Imposing Exterior. The building, whi on a slight elevation, presents an impesinag exterior. It is built of ght buff brici in the colonial style, two of its striking features being the tall onic columns used in the entrance por- ticos and second-story baleony and the bal- usirade surmounting the waole structure. There are two main en , Teacbed by flights of white marble In addition the to the walks, a semi-cirentar driveway leads up from the stre » the doors.

Th= ¢ novation of the basement, and, .n . & novelty in Washington scheols, is the large lunch room, in which tempting hot lunches are to be served. This is fitted up with a steam table, lunch counter, s, cupboards, chairs and small tables aliy a m cessity because of the al > of any mar- ket, stores or penny shops in the vicinity By substituting, at a moderate price, nour- ishing sou ndwiches end cocoa for the pe ool-girl dict of ¢ pickle: Die ke, it is hoped that wholesome ting habits will be formed, in themselve no small part of a fibers To be sure, such an attempt r a “pie strtke” in a New Hamp: but it as been adopted in othe notably Boston, with gratifying re that the ladies of the Was of the Collegiate Alun.nae As undertake the conduct of ta stitution of the new school, do or not, the impc rtant in- but whether lunch room is a sure thing.

Perhaps the colors of the Western High School have something to do with the dec- oration, for the walis are tinted a pale green, the opera chairs of a deeper shade and the stage curtain is to be of green velour. The stage is unusucily larg and so arranged as to furnish an inter room, should theatrica!s demand it.

The Second Pioor, On the second floor are other class rooms, the rooms of the drawing department, re- tiring rooms for teachers, and a large study hall. It ought to be an inspiration to study to be i mentioned room, for from its y be seen beautiful pan- ashington, the domes of the Capitol and library, the gleaming shaft of the monument, lifting themsely sky- vard. The drawing room is tinted a dei: cate green and shaded with dark green cur- tains. The spaces between the wind are to be hung with green velour as a bi ground for statuettes of the Apollo Belve dere, Veous de Milo, Flying Mercury Winged Victory, and others, while spaces ure also left for hanging reproductions of famous pictures. ‘The art effect is not Itmited to the art de partment, however. It perm building—cv-n, strange to the labora- tories, which occupy the greater part of the third story. The biological lezboratories at the north end are almost crowded with handsome oak cases for the collection of specimens. Amcng the conveniences of the laboratories are the writing boards of dark blue glass, hung like window sashes, so that when the lower frame is full it can be pushed up where all the class can se2 {t easily, while the upper frame is pulled down for fresh inscriptions. The chemical labcratory is said to be un- equaled by any other in the country. Here, apart from the utilitarian point of view, one is again pleased by artistic effects, something hitherto thought unnecessary in a laboratory. The metal standards which support the gas, steam and water pipes run- ving along the laboratory tables are decid- edly ornamental, as 1s also the upper framework of the hoods. There is a nota- ble improvement over the averag> labora- tory in the provision of a s2parate room for the generation of sulphuretted hydrogen. Western pupils in the future are not des- tined to know the joy and the misery of HS fumes creping down into the ciass below—the joy, of course, on the part > generators, the misery on, the part ¢ those who are trying to dig out a Latin nslation or to solve ar. original in geom- or to appreciate a fin> passage in Wordsworth in the room below, 2 ical laboratory, in addition to the usual appointments, rejoices in a special reading room for scientific investigation, end also in a dark room for the develop- ment of photographs, every inch of which is painted jet black. Surely the Western ought to turn out a superio® line of pho- tographers. Not only has it every facility for producing first-rate pictures, but from the windows of the physical laboratory, which look to the east and th2 south, there is a superb view of the city lying in the arms of the Potomae and its Eastern branch, which furnishes a constant inspira- tion for the making of pictures of the high- est artistic quality. The Gymnasium. Last, but certainly chief—in the minds of the pupils, at any rate—comes th? gymna- sium. This is a large room, occupying the ‘middie portion of the eastern front of the THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1898-10 PAGES. third floor, and commanding, like all the Shes Tooms, a magnificent view. It is fur- nished with all the appliances of an up-to- date Sw2dish gymnasium, the rowing ma- chines, the boom, the quarter circle, the parallel bars, the vaulting horge end the usual Indian clubs, chest weig! and 80 forth. The boom, Swedish ladder, quarter circle and other larg> objects which take up| space can all be lifted or swung out of the way by pulleys, leaving the deck clear for action when a basket ball game is to be played. On the west wall is a gallery, where visitors may watch at safe range the exercises going on below. The authorities who have made such thoughtful preparation for the needs of the inner man and woman of the Western have been no less considerate of the outer per- son. On either side of the gymnasium commodious baths are provided, ten shower baths and two plunge baths—twelve in all. There are also dressing rooms an@ lockers for gymnasium outfits, cleverly designed by Miss Westcott so as to admit of the utmost ventilation without showing the contents. The Western_High School pupils ought to be the cleanest boys and girls in the city. In addition to the baths on the thitd floor, there are on every floor convenient washstands, with hot and cold water fau- cets. A similar convenience is the pro- vision of drinking fountains on every floor, sq that a pupil on the third floor who. wants a drink will not have to go all the way to the basement for it, as in other schools. One of the unique features In the construc- tion of the building is the absence of cloak rooms. Instead of them there are individ- ual lockers for all the pupils, each contain- ing a shelf, books, umbrella rack and drip- ping pan. These lockers are of oak, and, placed along the corridor walls, prove or- namental rather than otherwise. The system of heating and ventilating the building is the very best possible. In each room a thermostat is placed, by which the room may be kept at a uniform tem- perature the year around. In visiting this new school one cannot but be impressed by the careful planning and forethought which the building evidences in every part. The Western High School boys and girls will,.no doubt, enter this new home with feelings of delight and pride, resolving to»maintain in the midst of inspiring surroundings the high rank which they have won under less advan- tageous circumstances. Saeed AMUSEMENTS. THE DEATH ANGEL IN CAMP Sorrow at Washingtom Grove Over Decease 0 Mrs, Imurenson. Program of Divine Services Yester- day—Lapse in “Afternoon Causes Disappoistment—Notes, Special Correspondence:ef The Evening Star. WASHINGTON GROVE, August 8. 1898. With the coming 06 dawn came the death angel to this Edensand the camp is shad- owed by a great sorrow and tears are fall- ing in sympathy. Mrs. Harvey Laurenson passed away, after a brief illness, at her cottage on ist avenue, while the prayer service was in progress at the Auditorium, led by Dr. L, B. Wilson. At 11 o'clock Rey. Wm. -E. Harns of Clarksburg circuit preached a melting ser- mon to a small but attentive eongregation. The women’s holiness meeting in the tem- ple impressed all who attended. There was a lapse of public worship in the afternoon to the regret of the county contingent, for those who once came after the mid-day meal are obliged to quit the camp after the children’s hour, from 4 to 5 o'clock, and so lose the afternoon. Rev. A. J. Gill presided at the vesper ser- vices, which is pre-eminently a young peo- ple’s meeting, in which he was assisted by Mr. 8. A. Terry of Grace Church, who con- ducted ‘the song service and added testi- mony to the power of God over human character. The gathering clouds of the afternoon brought a refreshing shower upon the camp, which, however, in nowise dampened the ardor of the hosts, for a large audi- ence atientively heard-the Gospel message brought by Rey. E. L. Watson, as he out- lined the tenses of religious character, bas- ing his logic upon the text found in Phil- lpians 3, 13 and 14—“Laying aside the weight and the sin that doth so easily beset us, let us press forward.”” Never in the annals of the camp has there been so large a contingent of Montgomery’s representative Methodism as is to be found in camp quarters, and never have they been more cordially greeted by the committée and resident society than during these ser- vices. The proverbial courtesy and fellow- ship of old Montgomery has been given in GLEN ECHO.—The storm assured cool- ness in the Glen Echo Amphitheater last night, and the efforts of the Jaxon Opera Compzny in Trovatere afturded picturesque and interesting entertainment. The good old opera has survived all Sorts of vicissi- tudes. Its melodies find a weleome despite | return.

The deceased was the eldest daughter of Mr. Chas. King of Washington, and had passed her twenty-second birthday on Sun- day last. A husband and three young chil- dren survive her. Miss Della Keyes of Baltimore, Md., Mr. Warren Price and the Misses Price of Hy- attstown are visiting Mrs. Eliza Miller of Vocalists. Its songs require only a sugge tion from the stage. They sing themselves in the auditor's mind, and unless something in the nature of a revelation is promised the urtists need do little more than dress the characters and avoid absolute discord. But the leniency ef its demands do not tempt the Jaxon Company to any indiffer- ence in their performance. ‘The opera was sung with taste and spirit, and the gems evoked the applause that has come to be as invariable a feature of this opera’s pre- sentation as the melodies themselves. ‘She | 6th avenue. work was not giver in its entirety, but £0 Miss Jennie Kilgour of the Children’s familiar a composition will scarcely be | Hospital arrived in camp this evening and rutinized for consecutive detail in a]is stopping with her grandmother, Mrs. summer productic Mr. Payne Clarke as Manrico and Miss Diard as Leonora were highly appreciated, and the role of the Count de Luna wes creditably assumed by Mr. Winfred Goff.

KERNAN’S LYCEUM THEATER.—Ker- s Lyceum Theater was opened yester- and the new policy of playing twice was inaugurated. The Robin Hood, Burlesquers began a_week’s engage- ment at the tinee. The theater was crowded last night in spite of wet and heat, and the Burlescuers’ bill was so often en- cored that the performance did not end till after 11 o'clock. One novelty it affords is fernale conductor of the orchestra, and she held her seat and waved her baton at the side of Professor Wagner, the house leader, with the grace and precision of a yeteran. She is not the least attractive feature of the performance, either, so far Frances Kilgour. Prof. Henry Wilson, the veteran chorister of the Grove, arrived in camp Saturday and is the recipient of a perpetual ovation from his hosts of true and tried friends. Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Stinemetz, who hav been recruiting at Ocean City, were ba at their Grove avenue cottage in time for the work of the camp, to which they are devoting their time amd energies. Mr. Jesse Wilson and famiiy have re- turned from Atlantic City and are at their Circle cottage. Miss Ida Meem is visiting her sister, Mrs. Laura Bowie. The musical talent of th Deumbarton young people was heard in an informal porch concert at the Birch cottage in. the Circle last night after the close of the day’s services.

Miss Ritta Danzell, the pretty young lady aeronaut who made the successful balloon ascension at River View on Sunday last, will repeat the ascension tomorrow even- ing. Last Sunday, in consequence of the balloon being new and unable to hold the gas well, Miss Danzell was able to go but little over 5,000 feet. Now that the pores of the balloon are all filled with the sediment from the smoke and gas, she will endeavor to go still higher, 6,000 feet if possible, and will come down from that great height hanging under a parachute. Besides the balloon ascension, there will be music and dancing all day and evening for the enter- tainment of those who are fond of dancing, and the chute and other attractions will also be ready to give pleasure. The ascen- sion will take place at 4 p.m. sharp and will be repeated on Friday and Saturday evenings. The steamer Pentz will leave her wharf at 10 a.m., 2:15 and 6:45 p.m. and returning will leave River View at 12: , Sand 10:30 p.m. There will be no increase in the price of tickets. Division No. 5, Ancient Order of Hiberni- ans, will give an excursion to River View Thursday, and from the efforts made by the committee In charge of the arrange- ments it is expected that the attendance will be very large. The regular amuse- ments at the View will be supplemented by other attractions, and those who xo with the Hibernians may be assured of an ex- cellent time. —_—.__ SERIOUS ASSAULT, D. A. Sanford Knocked Down by a Negro Named Waters, Mr. Don A. Sanford, a wealthy stock raiser, who lives at 330 Indiana avenue, was assault2d about 10:30 o'clock this morning by George Waters, a colored labor- er, whom he had discBarged from his em- ploy. The assault tool& place on Louisiana avenue, in front off te Hotel Jefferson, a Piece of’ a brick beingeussd. A serious in- jury was inflicted on tHe right side of Mr. Sanford'’s head, just atiove the ear. Wa- ters, who committed: the deed, had no chance to get away: Mot only were polic2- men on hand, but citizens were there who took a hand in the=matter. While some of them turned their attemtion to Waters oth- ers did what they could for the injured. man. This was not much, however, and he was kept there on th2 stdewalk bleeding un- til the ambulancesarrived, when he was taken off to the Emergency Hospital, where Dr. Fife and othersedressed his wound. The injury is of a s2rious nature and the patient is weak fram loss of blood, but the doctors found no fracture of the skull. Mr. Sanford is apparently fifty-five years old. He is having some work done on a building near the scene of the assault. Wa- ters had worked for him on> day, and was then discharged. Since then Waters has been hanging about the building, and, it is stated, he made threats against Mr. San- ford. This morning they met on the street, and when a few words had been enchanged the piece of brick was thrown. The pris- oner says that Mr. Sanford complained about paying’ bill for repairing some har- he had sent him.to have the work done. Sanford, he said, caught him by the arm and put his hand in his collar. “A short time afterward,” Waters add struck him with a piece of brick knocked him out-in the street.” ee $10 Niagara Falls via B. & 0. $10 ‘Through train of coaches and parlor cars from Washington 8:10 a.m., August 11, 25, September 8 and 22.

In Judge Taylor's court today an Ana- costia colored man named Benjamin Holmes was given a trial on a charge of obstructing Monroe street with a horse and wagon. Sergeant Anderson made the complaint against him. He told the judge that Sun- day, July 24, Holmes was in charge of a team and there were six or seven other men in the wagon. “They were all about two-thirds full,” continued the sergeant, “and were on their way to the brewery for more beer.” His complaint was that the reckless man- rer in which Holmes drove caused the wagon to go from one side of the street to the other, and pedestrians had to run for fear of getting hurt. : “‘'Twasn't a horse that I was driving,” said Holmes. “I was driving a mule, and everybody knows a mule can’t go fast.’ He admitted that he was on his way to CENTRAL LABOR UNION. s — eee Proceedings of That Body at Mecting ; Held Last Nigh \president Szegédy occupied the chair at the meeting last evening of the Central Labor Union, and Mr. J. M. Kreiter was secretary. The present status of the K. of L. in the District relative to the con- tention between District Assembly, No. 66, and the national executive board was dis- cvesed at much length, especially as to the possibility of differences in the per- sonnel of th: committee representing D.\ A. 66 orf the joint defense committee. The Cc. L. U. instructed its representatives on the committee “that it is the sense of the €entral Labor Union that the efforts of the committee of the body which was ap- pointed to operate with similar committees from other central bodies for the defense of ‘the labor men indicted for conspiracy Lere should be devoted to the purpose for which they were originally appointe?, with- out regard te present or former affiliation of the indicted men with the Knights of Labor.” ‘The excursion committee reported that final arrangements were about conclujed for the excursion on Labor day; that a large number of tickets have been dis- trtbuted, and that the entertainment com- mittee hay prepared what promises to be a highly enjoyable program. eae amendment, which will edup atthe next meeting, was read.

There was a large attend- ance of accredited representatives from the twenty-three councils of the District, with a sprinkling of national representatives and committeemen, all entitled to vote on the election of new officers for the ensuing year. This was the principal business of the evening. The report of the state councilor for the year ending June 30, 1898, was read, containing a review of the year's work! Reference is made to Edward J.

HOSPITAL FOR FOUNDLINGS. Annual Report of Operatio: Local Institation. The annual report of the Washington Hespital for Foundlings, covering the fiscal year ended June 30, 1898, has been sub- mitted by Dr. Z. T. Sowers, president, through the superintendent of charities. The following facts appear from the re- port: Forty-six infants remained in the hos- pital at the end of the fiscal year of 1897 and there were forty-four admissions dur- ing the year ending June 30 last. Of this number thirteen were given out for adop- tien and twenty-nine died. The death record is smaller this year than during any previous year, the usual average very sel- dom being below thirty-five and frequently very much higher. The greatest number of deaths in any month during the year was in July, 1897, when ten deaths were recorded. The deeths during the other mcnths were three in August, three in September, three in October, four in De- cember, two in January, two in February and one each in April and June. Of the total number of children who died eighteen were under six months old, seven under nine months and the other four had just passed their twelfth month. Athrepia was responsible for nine deaths, or more than any other three diseases com- bined. Of a total of twelve cases only two were cured. ' Four deaths were caused by gastro en- teritis, and three by enteritis in its simple form. Intestinal indigestion appears to have caused more suffering than any other complaint. Twenty-seven infants were af- flicted with it. Fifteen are reported as having been cured and the remaining twelve improved. The physician's report shows a total of 119 sick infants during the year: 29 died, 70 were cured and the remaining 2) are reported as improved.
