How Poor children Learn to Make Them

The Industrial school for poor children
opened yesterday for the fall and winter
season at No. 233 Pennsylvania avenue north
west. This school has been in progress for
the last three months, but ON account of
sickness among many of tho pupils it was
discontinued until yesterday. The day was
spent yesterday in getting the children back
into tho school Mrs. Hustled, the new
teacher, reported that tho children who
Gs'no last year were all coming back and
that the school would be in good run
ming order in weok Tho children who
attend this school are those whose parents can
not provide for them. The school begins,at
1880 in order to allow rs many as desire TO
attend the public schools. Their studies arc
very light, and the most time is spent in
learning how to sew, knit, braid and make
clothes. Specimens of the children's work
were exhibited yesterday, and all show rapid
improvement and careful attention. Quite
a novel and now enterprise has been started
by Mrs Louise h. Deane, the superintendent
by teaching the children to make hats from the
Mackinaw straw. The children seem to like the
employment, aud are making good progress
1t is the object of the patrons of this school to
teach poor children TO sustain themselves
In the last two months quite large number
Of children clothed themselves by making
their clothing out Of cloth donated by the
merchants who. rs well as tho market pco-
pie, have been liberal. The children carry
their work home with them at night and
spend their evenings in completingit it. Some
instances of poverty and dcpravity have been
brought to light by the school, and many of
the cases have beon attended to and relief
extended.

THOSE TROUBLESOME TRACKS.
A Resident OF Maryland Avenue Describes
the Trouble, Annoyance. and Damage
They Have Caused.
10 Me Edaor


To The Eddor.
I have been constant subscriber and
reader of your paper since its publication and
have always taken an interest in its welfare
aas republican organ but regret to say that
] cannot support it or any other papor which
takes the ground against the interests of the
people that you do this morning in an article
headed "The City's Progress" You say:
"South Washington property owners have
been given an opportunity of vcntilating
their grievances" through the columns of
your paper This may be true, and that we
have not been backward in stating what we
think of our treatment by the Baltimore Al
Potomac Railway company. Let me say
right here that the annoyance and imposition
on the residents along the line OF Maryland
avenue cannot be described upon paper IL is
one of the most damnnble impositions ever
pcrpetrated on people living on an avenue
built UP as both Maryland and Virginia
avenues are, to say nothing of the cross streets
in the vicinity. Mr. Knight and hamburger
both obtained injunctions against the COM
pany restraining them from making M or
unloading trains between Eighth. and Four
tecnth streets, but we who reside on Mary
land avenue find tho injunction is entirely
disregarded, and the noise and hustle in
making and breaking up trains is worse than
ever. Last Sunday particularly was one of
the worst days for noise and hustle | have
known for year; and again, the trains
standing across Twelfth, Eleventh, and Tenth
streets frequently compel us to wait many
minutes before we can ret across the tracks
to 20 to our places of business and delay
business wagons at times in large numbers
Mt each crossing, and many times causing
horses to take fright and break wagons, &c;
and, again, so denscly populated ns we are
here with churches aud schools, We are in
constant fear of ourselves and more par
ticularly our children. You say If we would
stop to consider we would remember that rail-
way tracks are u necessary evil. So they are,
but not SO necessary that they must he laid
through the most populated parts OF city
and destroy tho peoples property, happiness,
and comfort. They have destroyed the finest
and most popular driving grounds about this
grand city, viz: from the capital to tho long
bridge, around by Arlington, aud through
Georgetown. This drive cannot he used now
for the reason that no one can drive their
horses along the line of the railway without
endangerng their lives by having their
horses scared and runaway. Now, let the
railway company take their tracks around
the oulski irts of the city or down along the
river front and cross below the long bridge,
and then we will be relieved, and, compare.
lively speaking nobody will be disturbed
For the benefit of your paper in South Wash
ington allow me to say that we will drop ii
to d man if you take any further such ground-
as in your article of this morning. We mean
business. The nuisance must be abnted ol
the tracks must go. w. w. S,
