SENSIBLE ADVICE -PrcSidcnt Whites
farewell address to the students Of Cornell

but there was one bit Of advice which was
preemincutly sound. ia not try TO be

cumcs to your lot iu 4 faithful and satisfac-
tory manner The a,uEitDn 10 be smart is
the curse Of the generation. Tho smart
nan is not willing to STOP long enough to
do anything well. lccausc he wants to do
everything in fifteen minutes, and spend
tho rest Of his life in odorins hi. own wons
dcrful Interior lie starts with series of
kangaroo leaps, aud is more than likely to
end one ofthcm 6y landing in an uucx-
pcctcd ditch. There arc Il great many
smart men i'll prison, aud 4 very considera-
bic number have rctrc;. ted t. Canada, thcy
go up like rockets, ani they come down
like charrcd sticks

you must work hard for what YOU get.

Wherever milk is used pcnti-
fully, there the children grow into robust
men and women. Wherever its place is
usurped by tea We have desencracy swift

gcon, who has devoted large share Of
attention to this subject, has asccrtained,
from careful measurements Of numerous fac

times as fast on milk for break fast and sup

ANOTHER TELEGRAM FROM SAN FRANCISCO
DENYING DIsCoURTEsr To HIM.
Acting Secretary Fairchild has received an
other telegram from Collector Hager and Sur
veyor Tinnin, Of San Francisco, in regard to
the reception OF the Chinese minister, OF which
the following is a copy:
Telegram of the Sth just received this day
lthe 9th inst.) Copy OF department letter OF
March 23d was promptly given surveyor of Gus
toms to execute. Steamer Gaelic, with Chinese
embassy, arrived on 9th, just two days ahead of
time. First notice came to this office by telephone
message from the dock, half mile away. Gave
direction to extend all facilities without OBJ
structions, and to land the embassy according
to section 13 Of the restriction act. Telephone
message came back that credentials were mac
cessible. Gave directions to land them without
credentials. Embassy, about forty in number,
were landed without identification or evidence
OF their official character, after q detention of
about half an hour. There is a Chinese consul
and vice consul in this city, but this office had
no notice, official or otherwise, of arrival or
official character Of embassy, except by
telephone from the dock. No discourtesies
were shown the embassy. None were COM
planned OF by any OF its members. The minis
ter thanked the surveyor for his courteous at
tentfOn, asked for his card and invited him to
call upon him. The embassy received the same
consideration that has been and would be &C
corded TO the representatives of any other ma
ton. The purpose Of this office was to avoid
giving any cause for International complica-
tionS,"

What Next i'm the House.

THE TARIFF AND VARIOUS FINANCIAL PRoPO-
SITIONs TO BE TAKEN UP.
Now that the silver question il disposed Of as
far as the House is concerned, the tariff is ex-
pected to be the next matter to occupy the at
Jention of that body. The bill will probably be
reported on Monday, and a day fixed for its
consideration, after which it will be considered
until finally disposed Of
The committee on Banking and Currency ex-
poets now to have its innings on financial mat
tiers. When the committee is next called they
will move to suspend the rules to fix a day TO
consider the bill they have reported to the
House, providing for the issue OF small denomi-
nation silver certificates. On Monday they
through Mr.. Wilkins, one of the committee
men, which will have for its purpose
the prevention Of the circulation OF cur
rency. II will provide that cash deposits TO
the amount of 20 or 50 per cent-the per cent
is not yet settled upon definitely-be made by
the national banks to secure their circulation
as fast as the government bonds now on de-
post are called tor payment; and that small
tax be levied on the banks for q sinking fund to
secure the difference between the circulation
and the deposit in case OF q banks failure.

A NEW SCHOOL BILL.
4 Proposed Substitute for the Measure
Before the HOuse Committee.
EIoHrExN SCHOOL TRUSTEES AND no SCHOOL
DISTRICTS

DISTRICTS
The District committee OF the House has not
yet acted upon the school board bill. II is
thought that the committee favor giving con-
troll Of school matters to the people and not the
Commissioner, but they will probably change
the bill now befoM them, which was adopted
by the citizens committee. Mr.. Rowell, MEM
Der ofthe subcommittee in charge of the bill,
Will probably draw up substitute for IL, OBJ
nterating all division lines In the District, and
making the board to consist Of ID instead OF
"a members, as proposed by the bill, and max
ing the superintendent-to be appointed by the
commissioners, aud not by the board-an ex-
ofncio member of the hoard. His idea Is 20 have
the members OF the board appointed for liked
Terms OF three years, and not subject 10
removal during that time except upon I'M
peachment; and to have terms OF six members
only expire at one time To effect this latter,
when the board Is first appointed, the terms OF
SIX are 10 expire In one year, six In two years
and the other six In three years. After that the
terms OF all will be for three years. II Is pro-
posed to give the citizens board all
the power they ask for in the bin
pointing the superintendent The teachers
particularly, are TO be appointed by the board.
This power to appoint teachers. Mr.. Rowell
considers, the most important TO the citizens.
he is very much in favor of breaking the sys-
tenn OF dividing the city up in school districts
which he thinksi is calculated TO create sectional
feeling, and says he wants every member of the
board to represent the whole city, not par,
merely.

BRIGHTER OUTLOOK FOR THE SEASON
SHORES THAT WILL BE FISHED.
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
/ noticed in last Saturdays STAR q publica-
ton as coming from Mr.. Gwynn Harris, in
spector of marine products which places him
in false position. In the first place, there are
other shores that will be fished besides Wind
mill point and the Gums this season, viz
Stoney point, hshed by Mr.. William Netzey,
with his large seine, 1000 fathoms of netting,
and handled by steam power; also Ferry land
ing, with 1000 fathoms Of netting handled
also by steam, and Chapman's point, fished by
Mr. Mitchell; the White House, fished by Mr.
James Smith, and the lump landing, fshed by
MIR James Cunningham. agree with you that
sands. and have largely taken the place of haul
seineS and to this method of fishing down the
shad and herring in the Potomac, as the fish
are taken on their way and before they reach
their spawning ground on the Potomac river.
Ia regard to the rolled condition OF
late excessive rains, and not by the machines
used in improving the harbor, as any one can
andria boats as far as that city. l think it
would be rather diminutive outfit for fishing
that would cost from So to S25, when gill-neE
ting cost from S1.7o to $2.25 per pound, and it
requires from Az to 90 pounds of netting for an
outfit, whilst pound nets require from 175 TO
225 pounds OF netting at cost of so cents per
pound, not including boats, rope, corks, &c. &c.
Now we come to the number of shad and her
ring caught and brought TO our maket to the
Sd Of April last season as compared to the mum
Der broug ht to our market to the same date this
season. Last season there came TO this marke ct
10 the 3d OF April, 275,735 herring and 361
shad. The present season to the Sd of April,
425,2O3 herring and II sos shad, showing an
increase this season Of 1916 herring and
Al, IA sh;.d. would say in conclusion that
the sc-srciy of both shad and herring in the Poto-
mat !.-,L season was owing TO the very cold
WEI ther in the latter part of March. When the
snad should have been coming in our capes
were driven OFT by the cold clustering weather
and reached other rivers TO the north of u.s.
The herring never came up the Potomac until
it got very late and warm. This is about the
state of affairs as tar the Potomac is con-
