Stammering Cured.

Professor Aldrich will remain at the
Hamilton House, corner of Fourteenth
and X streets, until about the middle of
May. However, those who desire in
struction and treatment should make inn
mediate application as no pupils or pa
tients will be received after the 18th of
April. Mr.. Aldrich is the founder and
has been for many years principal of the
celebrated institute for the cure of impedi-
ments of speech, at 8 West Fourteenth
street, New York. His method embraces
the best points of the successful German
and French systems for the cure of STAN
mering, together with etfectual rules and
exercises of his own origin.
Among the testimonials recently re-
ceived two are published below
[From the Hon. James Q. Chenoweth,

ough and permanent, as am to-day in

father stating that his son is entirely
free from his old trouble. Mr.. Holmes

Aldrich and his treatment of his son.

Final Action of the Executive Commit
tee Last Night.


tee Last Night.
The Executive Committee of the Free
Bridge celebration met last night at AS
sociation Hall and perfected the final ar
rangements for the demonstration to-day.
Mr.. John Leetch thanked the news
papers of Washington and the George
town Conrant for their full and liberal re-
ports of the progress of the celebration
from the time ofits inception, and moved
that the members of the press be invited
to seats upon the platform. The motion
was carried.
A vote of thanks was also rendered to
Senator Riddleberger of Virginia for his
aid in securing to the people of West
Washington free bridge.
Six carriages were provided for the use
of the Executive Committee.
The President will be advised by one
of the aids to the marshal of the approach
of the procession.
The Virginia contingent will be met at
the bridge by the mounted aids and men,
bers of the Executive Committee, accom-
panied by band, and escorted to the
grand stand. 1t has been deemed advisa-
BILE to place the bicycle clubs at the head
of the line of march.
A discussion of suitable name for the
bridge was INDUCED in, and the names of
Prospect Bridge and darlington
Bridge" gave place TO the title "The Free
Bridge" as suggested by Colonel John A.
Joyce in yesterdays CRITIC, and upon o
vote being taken upon the same. the
name was adopted.

school Ronrd Meeting.

At the meeting of the School Board
last night the sections of the District APP
preparation bill relating to the schools
was discussed at length, and commit
tee, consisting of Trustees Darlington,
Curtis and Whelpley, was appointed to
solicit certain changes in the bill from
the House SubComittee on District APP
propriations. The clauses objected TO by
the trustees are those providing that fe-
male teachers shall receive the same pay
rs male teachers; that no teacher receiv-
ing a salary of 5000 per annum shall be
promoted to a grade paying higher
salary, and that no change shall be made
in the number Of teachers at present em-
ployed in the schools, all of which the
trustees regard as beng detrimental to
the schools. DR., Lane was promoted to
the position of superintendent of the
High School, to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Mr.. Paul, and John NJ
Proctor was appointed to the position
formerly held by Mr.. Lane.

dollars by buying your Clothing from
a house that makes economy the rule
in buying and selling. Every detail
as to quality, style and price is closely
watched. In our Juvenile Depart
ment everything that is worth having

that is manufactured we have, and at

saying great deal, but we know,
conscientiously, such to be true, and
therefore make the as ertion.
The qualities and styles of our
