superintendent of the Roanoke Pubic
Schools Rush U. Derr, speaking to THE
TIMES representative in regard to school
matters, said: "You might note the
fact'that our school in the First ward,
northwest section, is rapidly nearing
completion, and will be opened on tho
.tirst,of next January The number of
teachers in this new school will be
based, of course, upon tho number of
pupils enrolled.
There is great need for school in
the southeast section, but no provision
has been made as yet by the City
Council on account of the lack of funds.
That section needs school facilities moro
than any other portion of the town.
by Il slight appropriation the whole
school system could be benefited and
the standard raised, as it ought to be.
II think it strange that city of this
size has paid no more attention of a
su bstantial character to the schools.
There is u great deal more needed be-
sides buildings" said Mr.. Derr, as he
thus cmphat ically ended the interview.

Judge Holman is not the great objector
that he used 10 be. During the present
congress he has let the republicans spend
money as they wish, according To the well
understood policy of the democrats To let
the party that controls all branches of the
government have all the rope il wants
and then hold IL responsible for the ex-
penditure. When the democrats regain

he came to place himself always on the

for wounded soldiers who had been dis
charged from the service and had drifted
back as far as Washington. Frequently
colored fugitiyes were cared for i'm the

sengers aud watchmen were so thick
around the capitol that they were in each
others way. II was hard work to give
them assignments and leave standing
room about the corridors. Judge Holman
happened to be in the basement under the
big dome one day and endcavored to go

Feminine I,eitors.

from the BROOKLYN Eagle.
DO the ladies' who attend the June horse
races bet? One of the Morris park book
makers claims that his transactions with
the ladies average 5000 day. There are
probably eighty or hundred bookics with
similar experiences. To many of these
same ladies the June horse races are far
more interesting than the June weddings.
With all their love Of finery and curiosity
about trousseaus, the feverish excitement
of n spirited horse trot is far more pleas
urable than the last bridal toilet. Once
affected, the fondness becomes a passion. \.
They have very original ways Of obtain

their choice from some accident Of cir
cum stance as from any knowledge Of
pedigree or turf record. Quite a number

only half or two-thirds the winnings,

4 French Ge moral Who Out Manoeuvered
the Prussian Leader.

y
the Prussian Leader.
From the London Times.
General d'Hautpoul. of whose death we
are informed by our Paris correspondent,
was once pitted against Count won Moltke
and beat him. General. then Captain
d'Hautpoul. was then, i'm Louis Philippe's
time. the head of Ibrahim Pasha's stair.
He was also aide-le-camp to Soliman
Pasha. Count won Moltke was the virtual
commander of the Turkish army at Nezib
as was General d'Hautpoul OF the
Egyptian army, of which Ibrahim
was the nominal chief. The Turks were
routed, owing to the skill and fore
sight of Captain d Hautpoul in occupying
as he did the positions dominating the
road 10 Aleppo. The Intervention Of Eu-
rope alone saved dConstantinople from be-
ing entered by the Egyptian army after
the defeat Of the Turks al Nezib. General
dHautpoul was sent by General Trochu
To Versailles In 1871 tn negotiate an armis-
tice and met there his old foe, Moltke,
but refused to sign until informed about
Bourbaki's army. General Walden then
took his place and signed, and Bourbaki /,
20 avoid being captured, was forced To re-
treat in haste into Switzerland. General
d'Hautpoul was the last of the French
military men who helped To build Me-
hemet Ali's Egyptian army on European
model.
