Visions OF the appropriation bill referred to In
your timely editorial OF last Saturday, the loss
OF the source OF supplies In the shape OF In
creased revenue from further increase OF popu-
latiOn, will be the petard by which the public
school 81 stem will be hoisted. The increase
appropriation for public schools. to which you
referred, means that no street work shall be
done this year. IL will be seen that the add
tlOnal ScnOOl buildings must be contracted for
DeIore the Isl or September next, and TO do this
the sum appropriated for them must be taken
from the revenues Of this District before any
part OF them can be used for any other purposes.
In fact all other interests are SubOrdlnatei to
the public schools
This sum, with the sums needed for the
p0llce health and other departments OF the
District government will take all the taxes that
can be collected before and during the season
when street work can be done, and a.. under
the organic law, taxes cannot be anticipated,
II follows that there must be a suspension of
ret repairs. Aside from identifying the city
and thereby adding TO its health and cleanii

number OF laborers, who must starve that high

this year between $500 600 and 500 600 Is asked
for; next year between 100000 and $500 coo Will

Much less than one half OF the sum approprl-

should be called, and at once.

EditOf' STAR think the editorial In this
mornings Republican entitled carl Schurz and
BIS Clerks" reflects rather unjustly on Major
Lockwood, chief clerk of the Interior depart
ment, for this reason: When 1t was aScertained
that the executive committee having the tnau-
guratiol business In charge intended to limit
the appropriation for music to figure Sucn as
would neceSsttate the employment OF an
inferior band, Major Lockwood, as chair
man OF the committee on "HalI and
Floor" protesting against this picayune
system OF doing business. Immediately
SET to work, and by his own individual efforts
raised and had placed to his credit in the city
Of New York 1900, which he stated was TO be
used by the hall and floor committee ercI,i-
Slteiy. This amount is more than any other
single individual has been able to raise for the
Inauguration ceremonies, and the Major ought
to be entitled To The proper credit therefor.
The language attributed to him In the article
referred to may have been used, but certainly
In no spirit or hostility 10 the Inauguration
business, as will be seen from the foregoing, but
simply as protest against raising money by
canVassing the departments when 1t could be
done otherwise. Major Lockwood was far from
being alone In this opinion. We wish it under
stood, however, that we enter no defence for
the action OF Secretary SchurZ Our business

Five arrests in the last twenty-four
hours.
George McKune was fined $25 for
being drunk and using obscene Ian
guage.
Three unruly citizens were forced
to wend their way islandward, because
they had not the cash with which to
liquidate their fines.
The stoves recently put up in the
City Prison make a decided difference
in the state Of the atmosphere these
frosty nights. The place is now tOler-
ably comfortable. Other repairs are
being made.
Early this morning officer Plummer
was called on by Steve Campbell, col
ored, to arrest his grown up step
daughter, but as the origin of the diff
ficulty was hard for the officer to get
at he arrested both. The story Of
their woes was related to the Judge,
who fined the stepfather IS and dis
charged the girl. She had been
slapped because she failed to get out
Of bed when he did.

Guiteau,a DiYorced Wite.

Special TO Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, November 24.-Mr.
Ddnmire, the present husband OF
Guiteau's divorced wife, evidently has
a keen eye for business. He says he
has a photograph of his wife and Quit
eau, which he proposes tn send for and
have copies made for sale. He thinks
people everywhere will want to see it,
because it shows how badly the lady
looked after experiencing the cruel
treatment at the hands Of Guiteau.
Mr.. Dunmire also has some mining
stock which he would like to dispose
Of. He thinks the government ought
to pay him for his time, and for the
substitute he is compelled to employ
to do his work at home.
Mrs. Dunmire is small and slender
of statue, with dark hair, prominent
nose and blue eyes. After her divorce
from Guiteau in New York she came
to Washington, and for a year she
found employment in the Treasury
Department.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dunmire are accom-
panied by their two children, a boy
aged three years and girl Of thirteer
months. They are stopping at a quiet
boardinghouse. Mr.. Dunmire seeml
to be confused about the testimony
his wife will give. He says she viii
testify for the prosecution. and tha
Guiteau is crazy.
Mrs. Dummies mother was once {
servant in the family of Mr.. Scoville
which accounts for Guiteau's acquaint
anoa with her.

war came on he became a member Of
the vigilance committee that
existed for a time. When
the Federals entered Memphis
he went South, aud located at Cahaw-
ba, Alabama, where his wife died
during the war. He was at one time
an Alderman, and it is said that he
was the first Secretary Of the Chamber
of Commerce. In early days he was a
member of the volunteer fire depart
ment. In all the relations Of life he
was a true man, and was always re-
garded as a public spirited and leading
citizen. He was not a member Of any
Church, though regular attendant at
the Second Presbyterian Church for
many years. His private life was
irreproachable, aud it is said that he
was never known to utter an oath or
to do an act not within the strictest
bounds Of morality. After tho war
he re.engaged in business, but
never recovered his lost fortune.
A year or two ago he was injured by a
fall and ever after had to walk on
crutches, though this was not
the cause Of his death. Only a few
weeks ago he was on the streets. His
funeral will take place from the Sec
ond Presbyterian church at three
o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Peace
and honor to his memory.

THE branch of the Southwestern

were also added. The amount femit-
ted, less cost of collection, was about
$40, which, when received, was as
usual added to the general fund in

Judge Sneed's attention to the entry,
a broad smile is said to have spread
all over his countenance. The Judge

and only two or three years ago lie

which only increased a mutual ad-
miration that had long existed.

NEW York, November 26. DIR
Samuel G. Armor, Dean of the Facul
ty Of Long Island College Hospital,
Brooklyn, says in reference to
Guiteau's condition. "The world is
full of Guiteau's lily balanced mental
monstrOsity, compounded Of badly
arranged intellectual forces, feeble
moral faculties and enormous self.
conceit. Such people are kind Of
missing links between a low and
irresponsible animal type of brain and
a supreme ideal Of perfect humanity.
If such persons are pronounced ire
sponsible for their deliberately
planned purposes Of murder, society
has no longer any safeguards against
the worst element of its population.
Compared with such characters, insane
people are comparatively harmless, fol
they are usually confined.
