A MAN WHO SUFFERED MENTAL AND
PHYSICAL AGONY EIGHT YEARS PRO-
CLAIMS HIS HAPPINESS.
Mental agony is dreadful, but when that
and physical ailment combine, it is simply
terrible. Such was the condition of Geo.

was infamed and mortified, which caused
running sores. He says: "Pieces of bone
the size of silver three cent piece came
out of the sores on my leg. The discharge
from the sores was almost continual and
was unable to walk. For eight years I

AFTER TWELVE YEARS.
Twenty Thousand Dollars Return


About two weeks ago special officers OF
the Department of Justice made their regu-
lar tours Of investigation into the affairs of
the clerks of United States courts. In the
course of their Investigations they struck
an Office In State not far from New York
which showed "a lead" as the miners say.
They went to work on it. They only sus-
pected the present incumbent clerk. But
their work led to a surprise. A few days
ago there was sent to the Department. of
Justice certificate of deposit for $4,000 in
favor of the United States from the AS
sstant Treasurer at New York.
This certificate was genuine. 1t had
been bought and sent by clerk of the
court where the special officers of the De-
partment of Justice were at work. The
man who sent it had not been a clerk of
the United States Court for twelve years.
But finding out that the officers of the
Department were on the track of the pre-
sent clerk, he decided-in order that they
might not hunt him up-to make restitu-
tion for fees and other moneys which he
had withheld. His certificate of deposit
for $4,000 was covered into the Treasury

The deceased was born in this city. His

Debates OH the Federal Constitution and
oGher works of a historical character. The

portant cases, notably the Investigations

THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Discussing tho written Examina-
lions.

DAAgNhNAuk Nho
tiOns.
The session ofthe School Board last night
was almost entirely devoted to the discus
sion Of the order of Trustee Birney abolish
ing weekly written examinations In his,
the Second district.
The board received applications for teach
ers' positions from Minnie Hodgkius, Il. Y.
Hawkins, jr., Louisa Roberts and j. Harry
Waters and were referred to the superin-
tendent.
A report was received from the Commit
tee ON Teachers stating that Miss A. s.
Tilghman, teacher of second grade school
in the seventh division, had been granted
leave of absence for tho rest Of tho current
school year without pay.
Miss S. q. Deitz, subassistant, was trans
ferfed as substitute to second grade, vice
Miss TilghmaD, and Miss Bessie Il. Myers
subassistant, vice Miss Deitz, was trans
forred as substitute TO second grade school.
Mr.. Curtis called up tho resolution de-
clarDg the order Of General Birney abolish
isbiDg written examinations in the second
division to be null and void. He favored
the reference of the resolution to the Com
nittee on Teachers. He said tho language
used by the committees toward ono of the
members was not fit to go into print.
Mr.. Loveioy said that he did not see any
thing wrong in tho report in view of the
actions of tho trustee. Mr.. Smith defended
the action Of General Birney. He did not
like to have trustee put on record as max
ing untrue statements.
Mr. Birney said that he had nothing to
say to the language of tho report no
would leave the community to Judge OF
that. So far as he was concerned there
was not word in bis resolution which
insulted the board
General Birney left the room while Mr..
Loveioy was reading petition to which nc
objected.
MIR. Smith, chairman of the committee
appointed TO look into the desirability of
introducing industrial training into the
public schools, reported that the committee
in view Of the necessity to first recognize
the fact that the great majority of at least
the boys in the public schools must be-
come skilled or unskilled workmen,
whether they wish it or not; second,
that there is no system of apprenticeship
in this country by which trades can be
learned; third, that by the rules aud regu-
lations of the various trades unions the
number Of apprenticeship are limited, and
only few are admitted through this
system of training; fourth, that tho de-
mand for skilled labor is greater than the
supply, and necessity forces the importa-
tion of foreign labor at the cost of the
youth of this country-recommen that
a standing committee on industrial educa-
tion be created by tho board with a view
toward its permanent introduction into
the public schools of the District. 1t was
further recommended that industrial train
ing SO far as practicable, be at once in
trodnced into the public schools by voluu-
tary effort, and it is thought that tho re-
suit will BIO very favorable.

Rr,eht business prosp Gets.

The crowds at the hotels have dwindled
very materially. Instead having to elbow
ones way through Wizards and tho Ebbitt
Of evenings there is easy locomotion at any
point at any hour The oflice-seekers are
leaving, many have already left, and that
movement has reduced the number. The
hotel men say trade is quiet, withal, and
that they have mover seen shorter season
during inauguration; that it was storm
which passed over in forty eight hours,
but that there will be good reaction now.
AS soon as it is determined what course
is to be pursued in regard to filling offices
the inflow and outflow of people here will
be steady and great. Should it be concluded
to fill the term offices at once, and not
await natural vacancies, great crowd will
flood the city. There are more people here
at present. however, than Is usual at this
time of year, and business among the mer-
chants must take fresh start as the vol
ume of strangers and new residents in
Creases.
