Pretty Girls Eyes.

The season of public balls was opened on
Thursday evening ny the police force, with
grand ball at Willis Hall. 1t was red
bandana night for the policemen, and their
general aspect was one Of soft, purring fond
ness Indeed the crowd at the ball would
have softened any one, let alone policeman,
whose sole joy, is not, as many misguided
individuals would insist, the conveying of
befuddled inebriates and deserving crooks to
the bridewell, but rather in seeing their
friends keep out of the cellular building and
to meet them once year at their annual
ball. Like the fremens ball, the police
men ball has become an established event,
and during the past eight years the force
has gone on reaping one terpsichorean vic.
tory after another, each greater than the
former.
To attest their appreciation of the servi,
ces rendered by this the banner force of
the county, Ottawas business men and cit.
zens generally, have given the annual balls
of the force liberal patronage, and the
crowd Of over one hundred and twenty
couple, that filed the hall on Thursday even.
ing is no mean evidence Of their confidence
in them. The ball was not as many would
say, made pretext for Sinking duty, but
duty was, as 1t always has been with them,
first above all else for the entertainment of
their guests was entrusted to their personal
friends, that they might keep wstchtul
eye on the city while their friends dispensed
welcome in their names

Now that La Sale county has a real
champion In the smuggling arena the eyes
OF the sporting public are turned toward
her, and especially toward Streator, the
home of our champion, Billy Myer. Billy
T. now the undisputed champion Of the
northwestern lighi.weights, although he Is
likely to meet Needham second time, In
order that the latter may be again knocked
to pieces. The road of champion or of a
prominent pugilist Is not path of roses,
by long way. George LIE Blanche will

STRAYED.

Low prices have straycd into
Fl. V. WILSON'S and taken pos
session. This is especially true
in the Hosiery and Underwear
Departments
Our stock is unusually large.
We bought lots of them, because
they were cheap at the prices we
paid, and we mean to sell them at
a low rate.
That all wool, heavy winter
sock for men and that heavy
wooden stocking for ladies and
children sell at IS cts. They are
good, strong, heavy and durable.
Our stock Of wooden underwear
for men and ladies cannot be beat
for quality and durability for the
price.
Ladies camel hair underwear,
sold at % cents per garment for
same quality last year, is now 75c.
This is the exact 7VholcSale price.
Take them before the sizes are
broken, for they will not last long.
Children's scarlet mcrino under
wear is much cheaper than last
season, far better than last sea-
sons quality.

tariff now amounts to three dollars and thir>

THE CITY OF WASHINGTON AND THE GEORGE LAW
COLLISION IN A FOG.

THE CITY OF WASHINGTON AND THE GEORGE LAW IN
COLLISION IN FOG.
Yesterday morning, between O and O'Clock,
when there was dense fog on the river, a COLI
sion occurred between the ferry boat City OF WASH
ington and the steamer Geo. Law, which runs a
fve cent Terry to Alexandra. The latter was
struck on the port bow and her side smashed in,
but neither boat was so damaged as TO prevent
them making their usual trips. The ferry boat
had been repaired the day before, and the part re-
paired was again broken. II Is asserted by the
owners OF the Geo. Law that the collision W as in
tentionally brought about by the Officers OF the
Jerry boat, and they have filed complaint with
the steamboat inspectors. The ferry people deny
that the collision was Intentional and claim that
their boat was damaged as badly as the steamer
Law. River men say that steamboats, should not
Dc permitted TO leave their wharves during a foy
on account OF the narrow channel; that they are
surprised that there are not many more accidents
ROM this cause.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The increase In Attendance-The First
Weeks Work.

The first week OF the public schools Of washing
ton closes with the work well started. The super
Visng principals have not yet made their reports OF
the number OF pupils enrolled In their different
divisions, but at the superintendent ONCE to-day
II was estimated that the total number OF the
september rolls Will be between 81 900 and 80 O0O
including both white and colored. The white
pupils outnumber the colored about TO /. Last
year the september enrolment was about 30,000.
On this basis there viii be yearly enrolment Of
$1,000 as against "a, 500 In 1sS7-SS.
There is at present q little overcrowding In the
eighth grades OF the 1rst three divisions but II Is
expected that this difnculty will De ooviateo oe.
division there are seventy pupils Everything mas
started ausplciOusly, and superintendent Powell
Is confident OF successful scnool year. TINS
afternoon the teachers OF the frst grades meet at
the Franklin building, and will be addressed oy
the superintendent and the directors OF music ana
drawing in regard to the work Of the year; This
all OF the teachers CT the District schools on
Monday the second grade teachers VIII meet on
meeting being held each day until every teacher
has received instructions as 10 work. Then there
VIII be another series next month, and this will
be continued throughout the year.
The manual training schools will be started next
Monday, but It is not likely that much work will
be done for a week or two.
The rolls OF the High school are steadily grow
ing. To-day they contained the names Of ], 1875
pupils, and they were still increasing. An exami-
nation will q ED to-day at the school for the
benent OF apI y ants for admission, new Corners
from other clues and pupils from other institu-
lions than the pubic schools. There will be about
100 applicants examined. 1t is not likely that the
crowded condition OF the school will affect the
chances OF these pupils to enter the high School,
FOR II Is the adopted policy TO permit all who are
qualified 10 enter. fhe marking Of the papers,
however, will necessarily be strict order to pre-
vent the entrance OF any unqualified pupil.
Considerable confusion has resulted this week
from the delay in finishing the rented building
across the street, in which, it Is expected, fully
200 nrst-year girls can be accommodated. This
has caused a hitch in the work or "a number Of
the classes, but IL is expected that the building
Will be all light by Monday morning, and then the
classes Will be fairly started on their work.
