Mr.. Lester, the representative of Mrs Cooke,
last night, who said 81 don't know any
thing about it-only can say that the hotel
is not leased to any one. The lease does not
expire until January 1891. The fact of two
or three gentlemen being in town who happen
TO be hotel proprietors is Of no significance
whatever ono of them could buy forty
hotels like Willard's and don't think either
Of tho three contemplate leasing any hotel

A warning 10 Mothers.

Passing through Judiciary Square the
other evening CRITIC reporter saw large,
muscular colored nurse grab fretful child
out of its wagon with the savage exclama-
ton: 'I'll shake you to pieces if you don't
stop~ The poor little thing looked up in
sobbing and amazed wonder for a moment,
and then was dashed back into the carriage
with force enough to have dislocated its
little shoulders. Then the girl turned
again to continue her gossip with her mates.
If that girls mistress should hear her girl
threaten to shake her watch to pieces she
would enter a vigorous protest, if she did
not summarily discharge her. Yet she will
trust her child-worth more than myriads
of watches-to the tender care of this half
savage for hours together out of her sight
and knowledge. Is there any wonder that
the heart of such mother is sometimes
bowed to the earth with grief over the loss
of her darling? Far better would it be for
mothers to permit their nurses to exhaust
their rage on their jewelry rather than on
their offspring. Mothers who are guilty of
such recklessness and carelessness are no
more fit for the Office of mother than last
years crows nest is for soup-dish.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Questions Relating TO Admission 90
the Normal School.

The School Board held their regular
monthly meeting last evening, b. Ii. War
ner, esq, presiding. Applications for posi-
Rodgers, Florence p. Williams, John f.
Freeman and Carlisle Mason.
The communication from Superintendent
Miles about the telephone service of the
schools was properly referred.
The proper committee was instructed to
decide and report upon the repairs to
school-buildings necessary during the sum
mer vacation.
Mr.. Lovejoy submitted majority report,
which in terms declares that the selection
of candidates for the Washington Normal
School be limited to the public schools Of
Washington. 1t recited the act which re-
quires the board Of trustees of the public
schools of the city Of Washington to select
advanced pupils, who are to become teach
ers in the public schools of said city. Should
vacancies above the number of graduates
from the High School exist, said vacancies
to be filled by appointing to the Normal
School members of the next lower class of
the High School.
Mr.. Lovejoy then offered in lieu of the
foregoing report one submitted at the last
meeting, which was also laid over 1t pro-
vides that the number of pupils in the Nor
NAL School be limited to twenty-five, the
number to be selected from female graduates
of the High School in October 1t also pro-
vides that If the number of graduates be in
sufficient to fill existing vacancies they may
be filled by others, provided they pass the
text examination. A minority report was
submitted by General Birney, protesting
against the admission to the Normal School
of pupils of the High School Of the second
year class, as it would be injurious to such
pupils and violation of tho former rule of
the board. 1t would also reduce the stand
ard of qualification for admission to the
Normal School, which would greatly de-
moralize the lower classes.
He also substituted resolution for that
of Mr.. Lovejoy, which was also laid over.
1t limits the number of graduates in the
Normal School to twenty-five females,
graduates from the Washington High
School; provided that should more vacan-
cies exist than the number of graduates,
they may be filled by the appointment ol
other and competent persons. Another
resolution offered by him provides that the
subject of admission to the Normal School
be postponed until June, which was also
laid over. He also offered resolution
calling for he'opinions of the High School
and Normal School as to the admission oil
the second-year class of the High School
which was adopted.
The report of the public schools fol
April was submitted by Superintendent
Wilson, showing the whole number oi
pupils enrolled to be 23,177 average

BETHEL LITERARY SOCIETY.
A Stormy Time at the Regular Meet
Ing Last Night.


The regular meeting of the Bethel
Literary Association was largely attended
last evening, and Professor r. T. Greener
read very scholarly paper upon the sub
iect of "Race Development" Referring
TO past African history, he did not think it
contained anything of which they should
feel proud. He did not believe that those
races in Africa, who reached such high
state of civilization in ancient times, were the
same people from whom the colored people
in this country sprang so that the colored
man in America must lay the foundation
upon which the future of his race must
stand.
Mr.. r. J. Smith did not fully agree with
the Professor. He was not willing to set
at naught the best historical authorities
who hold views just the opposite of those
held. by the paper just read.
At this juncture Of the debate pub
lished interview with Professor Greener
was read, with the intention of proving
that, though he advised race unity as the
best means of development, he did not set
the example, for he had characterized those
who were trying to get up National col
ored convention in this city next fall as
mere Office-seekers.
Mr.. Arthur Smith inferentially admitted
that they are office-seekers, but maintained
that it was no disgrace.
A number of Others participated in the
general debate, the last being Mr.. M. NJ.
Holland, who took occasion to express his
displeasure toward all those who had aided
in annulling the efforts Of those who would
have convention. Although the presid-
ing officer had decided such matter extra
neoua and not germane to the subject of
| the paper, the speaker vehemently attacked
the essayist for the part he took in knock
ing the bottom out of their proposed con-
vention, and, growing fiery, he advanced
| toward Professor Greener with clinched
fists, saying that Greener himself had been
kicked out of Office From Mr. Hollands
advancing position and menaclng attitude
the audience began to hiss the apparent
belligerent; but, failing to restore quiet
stampede set in, and the meeting dis.
| banded in confusion.

care you aware" said a merchant to the
Critic, "that the amicable relations between
the Citizens Committee and the Commits
sioners are almost severed, aud that the
committee is more disgusted at the unjust
course of the police reorganization than the
citizens or the policemen themselves?"
"Why, that is rather striking How do
you know it?"
81 know that John w. Thompson, after
thinking that he had the Police Depart
ment as convenient field for his unem-
ployed friends, has slipped up sadly; has
failed to accomplish what he wanted, and
is disgusted both with what has been done
and what is contemplated"
"What did Thompson ask for?"
''Thompson and Colonel Wood worked
together to get certain man appointed rs
property clerk John W. had personal inter-
views with Major Dye to this end, and
when Donovan was removed another man
got the place."
what will Thompson do?'
"We will see."
"What will Wood do ?'
"Publish everything he knows about the
disreputable measures used against the ex-
detectives, tell ugly stories that few people
know so well, and kick like steer gener-
ally"

Judge WyIie,s sensibIe DecIsion.

Government two closing speeches IN the Star.
Route trial continued after THE CRITICS re-
port closed yesterday. Justice Wylie decided
that the Government was entitled to and
would be allowed only one closing argument
to the Jury. That had been the inform prac-
tice OF the court and In his knowledge of
other courts he was unaware of any different
rule prevailing. He had heard no good reason
offered for deviating from the usual course,
and the precedent was n bad one to establish.
1t being, at that time, 3:45 p. M, General
Henkle asked the balance Of time for con-
sultation between counsel. He thought 1t
might lead to some satisfactory result. II he
could have his way the argument would be
very much abridged.
The time was granted and the court ad-
1Ourned.
