REPAIRS OF PAvEMENTS WHERE GAS LAMPS ARE

Whenever new lamp is erected large Dor
ton of the pavement has to be removed to
make the proper connections. Recently the
superintendent of streets wrote to Capt. Lusk

for instructions as to who was to be held re-
sponsible for the repair to the streets. Capt
Lusk today In passing upon the case says that
the current contracts between the gas COM
panies and the District are silent on the subject
OF the cost OF repairing over the trenches made
IN erecting gas lamps. The gas companies, he
says, have been III the habit of repairing all
sidewalks and roadways and the District has
repaired all cuts in the concrete streets. He
recommends that the usual custom be followed
at least until the 1st of July.

DISTRICT APPROPRIATIONS.
The Bill Under Consideration In the
House in Committee Of the Whole.

The consideration Of the District appropria-
ton bill was resumed In the committee Of the
whole House today. The suggestion was made
to some of the members of the committee be-
fore the House met that by adopting . part Of
the rules Of the last Congress to gov
ern them in the consideration Of the
matter they had endangered the new provisions
which had been put in this bill. requiring wires
to be put under ground, and fixing . tax Of
$25 on all telegraph and telephone poles left
standing on streets or avenues after July /,
1891.
The old rules prohibited new legislation on
appropriation bills, and under those rules
these provisions might be stricken out on point
OF order. Members of the subcommittee had q
conference on the subject and decided to 60 on
with the bill, ~ they were prepared with argu-
ments to meet this objection.
When the bill came up in the House Mr..
Crisp announced that he had letter from Mr..
Clements, q member Of the subcommittee,
stating that Mr.. McComas was mistaken in his
assertion yesterday that the committee was
bill.
There was some immaterial discussion Of the
question of former bills being called up by
democrats in the absence of republican MEM
Ders OF the subcommittee. The reading OF the
Dill was then proceeded with.
CRIrIcIzISa THE MAJORITY OF THE COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Blount took the floor and criticized the
majority Of the committee for hurrying this
bill through at the risk of improper expendl-
ture Of money. He claimed that the bill had
been drawn up before the members Of the COM
mittee had copies OF the Commissioners re-
port.
Mr.. McComas replied to this that galley
sheets Of the report upon which the estimates
we're based had been furnished members Of the
committee.
Mr.. Sayers said that these galley sheets had
been On the desks Of the members for only
three hours before the bill was acted upon.

HOW IT WAS.

A great deal has been said in some
quarters about-''the Shepherdstown
people kicking against paying the
fees allowed the sealer of weights and
measures"
They did not kick against" pay =
ing his legal fees, but they did CON-
plain OF his manner of executing the
law and the excessive fees charged.
1t must be remembered that the law
had been a dead letter for ten or
fifteen wears, because no benefit could
possibly accrue to the people by its ex-
ecution. 1t seems to have been made
merely to give some one a fat office
and not for any good it would do
Imagine, then, the surprise OF our
merchants when the County Sealer OF
weights and measures, drove into our
town about ten days ago and going
to merchant made known the
object of his visit. No previous no.
tice had been given. mo time and
place named, when and where" he
would receive the weights and
measures for the purpose of testing
them and for his work he charges
double what the law names. Is 1t
any wonder that complaint was
made Of the procedure The officer
himself seems to have been struck
with the justice of the complaint,
for he Immediately cancels his con-
tract at the hotel and returns home
and did not come again for more
than a. week In the mean time, he
advertised in the REGISTER that he
would be here at a certain time
named therein. He did come and
established an Office here, where the
weights and measures were carried TO
him. For this he charged ten cents,
one half of what he had charged be-
fore. Why did he not do this at
first 1t would have saved good
deal of ill feeling and been i'll con
formity with the law and rs he had
been advised to do by legal authority.

Confederate Monument.

a monument to the Confederate
dead was unveiled at Petersburg,
Virginia, on Monday last. The
daughter of General \. p. Hill drew
the veil that hid the statue from
public view The following is a
brief description of the monument to
the fallen heroes. The monument,
square in form, is seven sections
above ground. a heavy base and
two sub-bases graduated in size and
aggregating five feet in height, a die,
with projecting cap six feet, a shaft,
with beveld edges twelve and aha t
feet and capstone one foot, make the
total height of the memorial column
about twenty-five feet. On the four
faces of the die are polished tablet
inscriptions.
There is also sculpturing on the
subbases and capstones. The second
base here bears in large capitals in
relief. confederate Dead" and on
the third or upper base is inscribed
the couplet, plant the fair column
DER the vacant grave; hero S
honors let hero have" On this face
of the die is emblazoned the coat of
arms of Virginia above on the die
projection "1S6l-65,n and the cap
stone bears the legend, "Gloria Vic
it's The southern tablet has the
names of the States composing the
Confederacy and on the base under
it Erected by the Petersburg Ladies
Memorial Association" A beautiful
shield inscribed, THE Crater, July
30, 1854 adorns the east front. The
west face next the city has the
names of those who fell on the 9th of
June, 1864. Surmounting his beauti-
full shaft is the figure of Confederate
soldier. Six feet high, accoutred as a
private of infantry, full cartridge
box. lightly-filled haversack, rolled

MR.. EDIToR-Having been misrep-
resented by some Of the profession as
to my acts when an examiner OF
teachers. feel called upon to inform
the public truthfully upon this mat
ter, I was kicked off the examining
board by the misrepresentation OF
few teachers. They advised the Pres
idents of the board of education, di-
rectly or indirectly that l was very
unjust and that | stuffed the examina-
tions with catch questions. This is a
vituperative falsehood, l submitted
nothing that might be called catches.
save too, viz; who was the Mill-boy
of the Slashes" and WHO was the old
rough and ready" These were not in
tended as catchers, but as rests to the
mind because Of the brevity of their
answer
The real objections to me was this,
| would not answer questions Tor
those parties during examination and
refused to allow any second trial eI-
aminations, nor would l give man
credit for what he did not deSerre. Sew
eral of those second grade men almost
cursed me to my face because l re-
fused to disgrace myself and to cheat
the taxpayers.
| strenuously oppose paying hrst-
class salaries TO second class work
men. And | do elnphatically object
to having these hangers on graded as
high as myself If | can stand no
higher than they, when put to an
honest, impartial test, then my grade
should be number two.
| advise the employment of first
grade teachers, but let first grade
mean first grade. Many of US who
hold Normal Diplomas and State Ger
tifiicates cannot stand q first grade
examination if we were rigidly, hon
estly and impartially tested. None Of
the tests to which | have been sub
mitted reached my idea of first
grade test.
do not regret being kicked off the
examining board, but | very much
dislike being misrepresented. l wish
all boards of education and school
officers to know that perform my
duties from honest, conscientious con
victions, | do not consider who it will
please or who it will displease, but,
IS ii right.
Is it right to give a man first grade
certificate, for papers handed III by
his wife? Is it right to answer ques-
tions for d teacher in the examination
room and give him credit for them in
grading his certificate? Is it right TO
give these hangers-on two days trial
and the use of text books that they
may obtain a number one certificate?
Shall we not progress in the charac-
ter of our examination? The ques-
tons given each year should be rigid.
If the teacher is not moving forward,
he is most assuredly moving back
ward. And he ought not object to
the examinations being made more
rigid each year.
/ write this also in defence of those
whom know can merit number one
certificates 1t is very unjust to them
and also very discouraging and hu-
initiating to have those whom they
well know are their interiors given
the same grade certificate.
do not mind being kicked out, but
| dislike being lied upon.

Her Bones Growing.

At the Montefiore for Chronic lnva-
lids i'm New York there is patient
suffering from a peculiar and incur
able disease, the like of which Is
rarely met with, and never before In
such perfectly hopeless and COM
pletely developed state as in TINS IN
stance. 1t is called acromegaly, but
the name conveys no Information Oh
the horrible nature of the disease;
which is one that battles medical
skill.
A Prussian woman, thirty-tive years
old. is afflicted with this disease and
has been at the Montefiore Home for
the past year. The bones of both the
frame and head have been steadily
growing. the disease first developing
when she was twenty-teven years
old No case of a similar nature,
so complete i'm every detail, has be-
fore been met with by physicians
either in this country or in Europe,
though the disease has been OBJ
served before in a partly developed
form
The disease in its fully developed
form is one that attacks the bones OF
the extremities first. The hands ana
feet begin to develop enormously
Then the extremities of each indivl-
dual bone take on bone tissue and IN
crease in size. At about the same
time the bones OF the Uranium ana
the cartilages of the ears also de-
velop.
She suffers little pain from the I'M
natural disorder. Strange TO say
that with the growth of her bones
the Joints remain free and active and
are as flexible as ever.
