MEANING OF rnr womp NEE.

Simply French for Born, but Is Ter
rible Bugbear to Reporters.
The misuse of the word nee" is n
source of perpetual trlbulaton to copy
editors, provincial society reporters
especially being prone to a mournful
disregard of its real meaning They
have hazy, but nevertheless, strong
impression that il is equivalent to the
expression whose former name was,
and they rarely fail to use the full name
in all its aristocratic completeness.
Now, the fact is that nee" is simply
French for born and although the
charming Mrs. dc Lancey Jones may
have been born" an Edwards, she GER
certainly was not born miss Jemima
Edwards" Little things of that sort
don't always turn out Just as might be
desired, you know. Perhaps no fault

Press and Rnick6Tb0cher, with the fit of
I these cunning little garments that were
so carefully fabricated, but 1t is not al.
ways safe TO select a name for the baby
before it arrives.
The doting father to be may decide
that his offspring shall be known as
Aristides Ponsonby Jones, but he may
afterward be induced to select plain
Susan Instead from circumstances en-.
tirely beyond his control. 1t might be
really too plebeian for the provincial
society reporter" to refer to Mrs.
Jones, nee Edwards but he might try.
And he certainly should avoid the error
of rural contemporary, which recently
praised the diamonds of Mrs. De Ian
cey Jones, nee Mrs. William Smith. y
How poor Mrs. Jones ever came to be
born to state of widowhood the re
! porter neglects to explain.

At meeting Of the School Board
last night Captain Phythian of the
Naval Observatory made an address In
favor Of locating marine school here
in the Potomac, for the benefit of
Washington hoys Similar schools
have been established in all our great
Iarlois. and there can be little doubt
that they will serve useful purpose,
not only in diversifying the industrial
pursuits Of the country, but in furnish
ing splendid and trained materill for
the United States Navy and the marine
service.
In all ranks of life, what to do with
our boys has become a serious question.
The question does not vex one class
only; it belongs to all classes. The
professions are overCrowded, the trades
are hidcbound and so restricted by reg
ulations that they offer no relief, and,
generally. the business and industrial
side of human occupation presents to
the new applicant blank wall.
There are among our boys high
strung and free spirits. Their disposi-
tion is not in the direction of slow, mi
mute endcavor nor in that Of cold, cal
culating, patient, persevering persist
ency. The bounding watery element
gives them their opportunity. In any
career ashore they would probably
prove failures. But on the sea they
would, in all likelihood, win glory for
themselves and their country. The dis
cipline Of "A sailors life together with
its essential freedom and chance for
adventure will always have strong
fascination for "A certain class of robust
minds.
Our educational system has been car
ried to the furtheet practical advantage.
Yearly young men full of ambition and
earnest purpose are graduated from our
high schools. For many of them the
hum-drum ways of life present no in
ducements. The schoolship may sup
ply a want which has not in any other
form been furnished. Captain Phythian
and the naval officers who have given
the most attention to the matter are
sanguine as to the benefits which must
accrue. 1t would seem as though it
was the clear and unmistakable duty of
the School Board and the Commission
ers to do all they can toward getting
from Congress the necessary. authorizl-
ton and appropriation for the estab'
! lishmeut of this schoolship.

1t gives me great pleasure to state
that you effected remarkable cure of
deafness and discharge from the ears in
the case of my cousin, Marcus G.
Roessle, and that the cure has proved as
permanent as it was radical. feel sure
that without your skillful aid my cousin
would have been a deaf man all his
life. Knowing of other cases in which
you have. been equally successful, l
cheerfully give you leave to refer to me
at any time, and hope that your prac-
tice in Washington will prove distin-
guislled success.

views In regard to Canadian destiny,
It is generally agreed that the only
paths open TO Canada are annexation,
independence or imperial federation.
In opposition to this general accord,
Sir Charles thinks there is nothing to
prevent the continuance of the present
English and Canadian connection. As
between reciprocity and commercial
union he sees an important distinction.
Reciprocity might favor the maintc-
nance Of the present sttttS que. Com
mcrcial union would pave the way for
and ultimately compel a political union.
THERE is \ movement on foot for n
commemorative celebration of the cen
tennial of the establishment Of the Dis

were finally settled on March 30, 1901.
The cornerstone of the District was
laid at its south point on April -, 1901.
That stone is now buried under the
lighthouse at Alexandria. No definite
measures in regard to the celebration
have as yet been announced.
