Referring to the night schools Of the Dis
trict Superintendent Powell said to HERALD
reporter: ~ regard the opening Of these
schools as one OF the most important events
of the school year. have been surprised at
the numbers of bright young men and women
who attend the night schools. The fact that
after days toll In some humble occupation
they are willing to devote their nights TO
study is decidedly in their favor.
"The young persons who compose our
evening classes are generally earnest, indus
trious, and anxious to improve every oppor-
tunity. Last year was greatly surprised at
the numbers and intelligent appearance OF
those applying for admission to the High
School. believe the board of trustees would
accomplish good thing for these schools If
they would establish a regular course Of
studies, and givescertifcates on the compile
tion of it. IT might well cover two or
three years. young man or woman who
spends three evenings of each week in study
and the other three in the schoolroom for two
or three years will have acquired habits of
industry and of gaining knowledge that will
be likely to influence bis or her whole life The
High School course is really business one,
OF the most practical character, and Professor
Springer, the principal. is one OF the most ex-
perienced and conscientious educators. There
is no branch of the public school work with
which put more sympathy than with the
night schools"
The public night schools will open to-mor-
row night for the season and they will be well
patroniZed. The course Of study and scope of
the work will be pretty much the same as
last year with the exception Of the High
School. A more rigid examination will be
required for admission to this school this sea-
son, and the school will be removed from the
Thomson Building to the Franklin. Last
year there were 250 applicants and this year
there will doubtless be as many, if not more,
but there are only seats for about that num-
Der. Examinations for admission tickets
were held at the Office of Mr.. G. A. Davis,
principal Of the Business High School, on
Thursday and last night. 1t will take fifty
two teachers to conduct the night schools,
several Of whom arc drawn from the working
force of the day schools.
The night schools in the Seventh and
Eighth divisions will be opened on Monday
evening at 7:30, and will be in session on
Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights.
There will be six schools In the following
buildings: Mr.. E. w. Brown will be principal

Miss Pitts is from New York, where she lived
for many years of her life and was educated.
She is a member OF the Woman's Anthropolog-
ical Society of Washington. That she has
independence of character to do as she deems
right is proved by the fact that she was one
of the first lady bicycle riders in the city. She
rides her machine to and from school every
day.

front of his house. about miles south
of town. The buggy contained the
body of William johnson with
a bullet through his heart. In
the buggy were two pistols with several

was made for the missing man, who
was found about a quarter of a

side of the road with a bullet
through each of his lungs. Sprinkle, still
alive, was taken to his home, where he
died about midnight. 1t is not known
how the shooting originated, as there
was no witness of the affair, but it is
known that both men nurscd an old

FATIGUE should not be treated as q
light matter. Women often say: 81
am perfectly well, only l get tired
easily Then you are not perfectly
well. You need rest, care and possibly
medical treatment. Try the rest first
and set your mind free from worries
and restraints. Do not exact from
yourself work which you do not feel
equal to; make it q rule to lie down
two hours each afternoon, and 20 to
bed early. Keep this treatment up for
three months, with all the out-of-door
life that you feel equal to, and you will
realize what rest can do The tired
feeling means that you need rest.

THE PRINCE OF WALES.
He Does an Amount of Ceremonial Wo1
$500 That has Never Esnen Euualed.

He Does an Amount OF Ceremonial Work
That has Never sseen Equaled.
In the matter Of tours, blending pub
lie, social and private functions, the
Prince has done, and continues to do,
an amount Of work that has never been
equaled, much less excelled. During
his Indian visit ne was always engaged
in some interesting public business, and
varying the ceremonial and royal duties
with recreations of an active and exhil-
arating nature. 1t has been the same
with his European tours. No living
man has received more pu bic addresses
CT conversed with more of the public
men Of all countries, or had better op.
rortunities OF acquiring tho most cos
rnopolitan information. The range, ra-
EI,idity and variety Of these quasi -pu bic
tours once furnished Punch vii the
materials for humorous talo of magic
and mystery. An ambitious mortal was
depicted as intent upon following an
Industrious Person in his travels by
means of a magic opera-hat, which con-
~Seyed him from place to place. He kept
up the chase for some days, flying from
capital to capital, from country
to country, from court to private
castle, from public ceremony to
private entertainments, until, physi-
#cally and mentally exhausted. he
was glad to be rid of his opera-hat
and to resume his quiet life as an ordi-
nary being. The story conveyed some
very useful teaching. Reference has
been made to the pressure Of circum-
stances, and all that needs to be said in
interpre tation of the phrase is that the
Prince of Wales has, for several years,
been called upon to assume many Of the
public functions that were formerly dis
charged by Prince Albert, and more
legitimately fell upon a King than a
Queen. He has patterned his conduct
on the example Of his father. Speak
ing the first time at the Royal Academy
banquet in 1858, when in his twenty
second year, he said, 81 can not, on this
occasion, divest my mind Of the associa-
tions connected with my beloved and
slamented father. His bright example.
can not fail to stimulate my effort to
tread in his footsteps. 2 The Prince
Consort aimed at being short, pithy and
exhaustive. The Heir-Apparent has
taken him for his model, but he has
touched a much greater variety Of sub
jects. The publish speeches of Prince
Albert range from 1910 to 1860, and are
"a in number. The Prince Of Wales
collected addresses run from 1868 to
1883, and are Isl in number. Eleven
have been delivered at Royal Academy
banquets. six at Trinity House, and four
in connection with the Royal College q
Music. The more numerous addresses
touch such diversified subjects as com
merce, agricul ture, education, public
works mod ical charities and general
philanthropy Ishey are short, kindly
and appreciative obviously bearing
about them the stamp Of the Prince OF

AT least one person in three between
the ages OF ten and forty years is sub
ject to partial deafness. The great
majority of cases of deafness are
hereditary and due to the too close con-
sanguinity of the parents. Deafness is
more prevalent among men than among
women, because the former are more
exposed to the vicissitudes of climate.
1t Is thought that telephones tend to
bring on deafness when one ear is used
to the exclusion of the other.
