pondence. 1t is almost physically i'm
possible. II Is necessary for n senator
to do something more with letters than
simply sit down and write an unswGr.
lie must, in majority OF the cases,
write other letters to carry out tho
wishes OF the correspondents, and in
onc-quarter OF the instances he must
visit departments and the white house
and introduce bills in Congress and
upon them make reports. Senator
Plumb had as much work as six men
could have done and preserve their
lives"
TOO MICH FOR a STRONG MAN.
There has been great deal OF com.
mcnt like the above made to-day upon
Senator Plumb's death. Physically and
mentally Plumb was almost giant. lie
stood over six icot in height, was raw
boncd and muscular and weighed prob!
ably 30 pounds. He was rugged and
robust and had good digestion and was
y sound sleeper up to u few years ago
whom tho terrible mental strain began
TO wear upon him His committee clerk
and private secretary, Mr.. b. 1. Elcnni-
ken, is little taller and more tlesiy
than was Senator Plumb. To-day Mr..
'flonnikcn, in speaking OF the great
amount OF work done bythedcad states
man, observed that he himself was al
most completely worn out. Both men
have done so much in the way OF letter
writing and running through depart
ments through tho past six or eight
years that they were together brought
down TO the grave from ovcrwork.
Their examples illustrate how com.
plGtcly mental work can wreck phys
ical giant, for it is improbable that two
stronger men were ever coupled to-
gethGr in Washington to do mental
labor. Mr.. Elcnnikcn says that Senator
Plumb often dictated $50 letters in a
single morning and averaged over 100
letters, and after this work was COM
pletcd spent two or three hours in the
departments. then went TO the capitol
and worked in committees or spoke on
the floor OF tho senate chamber until
dark when lie returned to his lodging
house and continued pouring over and
debating letters.
NOT AN EASY LIFE.
Often the senator was go affected with
vertigo after hard days work that he
could scarcely walk, and last week was
warned that unless he gave up all OF
his work and take rest no would be
stricken with paralysis or ap ppoplcxy.
Both fatal attlictions struck him within
an hour before he died. The physician
in philadelphiawho diagnosed the case
told him that he had SO lived upon his
nerves that the blood celia OF his brain
were almost worn out, and he would
die OF appoplcxy. The warning came
too late; 1t came within forty-eight
hours OF his death.
The sudden death OF Senator Plumb
has again called attention TO the fact
that more mon die suddenly in Wash
ington than any two cities OF its size in
tho United States and the physicians
say it comcc IRON oyerwork and severe
mental and nervous excitement. It
seems, aftes all. that the lif:. OF the poll.
tician or office holder is not an easy one.

ABOUT The CITY SCHOOLS.
THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT UNAN-
IM0USLY ELECTED.

CLOSING EXERCISES NEXT wEEK--EXAM-
NATION OF EXAMINATION
AND ELECTION OF TEACHERS.
The closing exercises of the public
schools will take place on the 18th. and
18th. of this month.
On these two days the pupils will be
examined at the high school building,
and on the night of the 18th. the exer-
eises of the graduating class will occur
at the opera house.
The questions prepared by Superin-
tendent Robinson are said to be of a
high standard, and every step has been
taken by tile teachers to make the exami-
nation perfectly fair one.
1t is the policy of the administration
to raise The standard of scholarship
by promoting no pupil to higher grade
at the end of the year except those who,
by their record during the year, and by
the record they make at the examination
at the close of the term, show an average
Oh seNehUy-IlNe per cent.
PREPARING FOR ANOTHER YEAR.
While the present superintendent and
his corps of teachers are busily engaged
in closing up the present year of sue
cessful work. the board of education is
energetically engaged in preparing for
another years work. The board is de-
termined to give Dawson the just right
to feel proud of her public school system,
and if possible to have the schools enjoy
a greater prosperity.
THE NEW SUPERINTENDENT.
Superintendent w. NJ. Robinson will
have charge of the Grady Institute, of
Fit. Valley, another year, and!the board
of education has elected as his successor
Prof. z. J. Simmons, of North Carolina.
The new superintendent is a ripe
scholar and polished gentleman. After
graduating at one of the best universities
in this country, he went to Europe to
finish his education, spending two years
in the best schools of that country and
in travelling. He is young man of I'M
questioned ability, and this fact, con-
nected with his experience of several
years in teaching in the public schools of
North Carolina and Georgia, eminently
fits him for his work in Dawson. He was
unanimously elected, and will begin his
work here with the full confidence and
hearty support of the entire board.
Prof. Simmons arrived in Dawson last
Thursday morning, and has since been
busily engaged in preparing for the ex-
animation of teachers who will apply
for positions in Dawson. He has also
visited tie schools several times.
Monday night he left for North Caro-
lima, and will not return until the latter
part of August or the first of September.
During his absence he will attend the
Teachers Assembly at Morehead City.
n. G., for the purpose of better prepar-
ing himself for his duties,
EXAMINATION OF TEACHERS,
Teachers for the ensuing year will be
examined on Saturday, the 20th. of June,
there being seven places to fill. The
election will occur on the 10th. of July
next. The examination papers of all
applicants will be left on exhibition at
the office of the board of education for
inspection by the public,
