SUPERINTENDENT COOKS
REPORT.
THE PROGRESS OF THE SCHOOLS.

Superintendent Geo. F. T. Cook
has submitted his annual report to
the Commissioners of the District
of Columbia and in it he states
that the two di MONS, embrac-

of the two cities, which is included
ln- that of the first six divisions of
the public schools, have a fraction
more than 81 per cent of the entire
school population, white and COLI
ored, in The District of Columbia,
according to the Police Census OF
1888 Allowing for yearly increase,
1t may be safe to say that the
school population of these divisions
atthe beginning of the school year,
was ab ut 10000. The whole
number OF pupils enrolled Was II
per cent OF The school population
and the average number, SO per
cent of it. The whole number of
pupils enrolled was l l ,438. The
whole number of teachers employ
ed was 215, of whom 1876 were fe-
males and 90 males. The report
contains some very valuable and
important information which
should be read. The report for 80
IS perhaps the most valuable that
has ever been published. Mr.
Cook is thoroughly informed on
school work and has no doubt
made his last one a valuable doc
ument.

PEOPLE WILL BITE.
The Stock in Trade of Two Quacks
Destroyed With Cobbles.

Two enterprising young men recently,
found themselves in need of money and
straightway set about devising means of
meeting their wants. Being glib of tongue
they thought the quack doctors trade would
not be bad one. so they procured MI NJ
Der of bottles of harmless mixture and
several articles resembling liver-pads. To
complete their outfit they hired a horse and
wagon, and last night placed themselves on
Market and OFarrell streets to attract
crowd and vend their wares
Soon q number of curiosity Inspired peo-
pie gathered about to hear tell of the great
cures to be effected by the mixture. The
astounding proposition was made by the
nish pad. This. indeed, would be useless
without bottle of their medicine, which
was placed at So. Upon buying the pad a
ticket was also given, good for 81 so in buy
ing the medicine; SO the outlay amounted 10
So i'll all.
Strange to say several were induced to
buy pad and received their ticket The
crowd grew denser, and the quacks con-
tinued to do a good business. Certain wise
people in their midst began to inform their
less astute brothers that they were being
taken in. Presently murmur of discomfort
was heard from the suckers" and they de-
mandei the repayment of their coin, but
the QuackS were after that very ar tce, and
being possessed OF 1t were not inclined to
give it up
Gradually the murmur grew louder and
the enterprlsing fellows turned trife pale
One cast sidelong glance at the horse to
see that nobody was at his head, but the
movement was detected, and suddenly crash
went a cobble into the midst of the bottles
in the wagon. Crash and crash again went
two more, and for ten feet around it specta-
tors received free dose of liver medicine,
but applied externally.
BY this time, however, one of the quacks
had the reins in his hand, aud with a flour
ish OF the whip he started the horse. Crack
went the whip and away dashed the Vehicle
and after it the crowd. The chase lasted
about two minutes. when the quacks aud
their outfit disappeared in the gloom.

these States being short from losses of sheen and
aside from this fact direct transportation east from
there cut on from our market large share of our
usual supply Prices during the year may be said to
have been quite favorable to producers In the
early part of 1890 disturbed Eastern wool market
and cautious purchasing by manufacturers kept
prices steady; few fluctuations and excited
market can be recorded. The trade was looking
forward to changes in tariff legislation of our Con-
gress, and until such had been arrived at, matters
remained in a state of uncertainty, and cautious
operating was the result A decidedly more active
market was the outcome OF the legislation, and
In October our wool market was brisk, and prices
advanced for short season, say until December,
when the money panic commenced. While the
crisis in money matters lasted there little or no
demand for wool, as it was at the season OF the
year when manufacturers busy stock-taking;
therefore 1t can be understood that the market at
all points was unusually duh. 1t is fortunate for
the wool interest that holders during the panic
not forced to sacrifice woods, and that they came
out OF the excitement financially strong with hopes
of an active demand at fair values for good woods
on hand, and this demand has been quite pro-
nounced within the past fifteen days, during which
time the bulk of all choice woods have found buy
ers, so that, as We write stocks of wool have been
very much reduced. The condition OF the clip of
1890 was all that could have been expected. In
fact the spring San Joaquin woods and the north
ern falls were particularly good and found i'm
mediate outlets at full rates. AS to what the
dition Of our incoming spring clip may be, it is
quite uncertain, though to the middle of January
everything bid fair II have equal to the previous
one. and If should get late rains yet there is
reason why it should not be good, as the open,
warm winter has been particularly favorable to-
ward keeping stock fat" The circular gives the
ceipts In San Francisco in 1890 at 3S, $50
pounds, of which 5S10,240 pounds came from Ore

ledger of Central Police Station for the
shooting and consequent killing of James G.
May, appeared yesterday in Police Court /.
but as the autopsy had not been performed
when the case was called for examination
was continued until Monday next
Cavanaugh, who is deeply sensitive over
the unfortunate result of his efforts tn
capture supposed fuotpads, states that he
keenly feels and regrets the fatal ending of
the affair. The very suspicious actions of
the men who were in company at the time
he accosted them made him think that thew
were engaged IN some criminal affair. and
their running away after he had ordered
them to halt confirmed his suspicious in be-
lleving that they were about to commit a
crime or had already done so.
The autopsy on May showed that the bull
let entered about quarter of an inch below
the median line of the left side, lust one
inch abJve line drawn through the MIN
Piles, passing through the breast-bone and
entering the pericardium, thence through
the outer border Of the upper lobe of the
right lung, quarter OF an inch from the inner
margin. The range of the bullet was ascend
ing through the aorta, just directly through
the lunar valve. 1t then descended through
the psophagus and lodged in the interior
surface of the spinal column.

On the 9TH OF December, 1887, the crime
ior which Carl Lundquist has been tried so
often was perpetrated. He was a sailor by
vocation, and fell in love with Minnie
Loehne, who, with Joseph South, ran a sa-

turn his love- she induced him to advance
her money enough to buy out South's in

Afterward, however, South refused to re-
linquish his place and Minnie appeared to
side with him. Carl and Minnie quarreled
ana the result was the tragedy. Lundquist
aiterward claimed to remember nothing at
all OF the killing and said that it must have
happened during an epileptic fit.
Upon bis first trial the jury disagreed.
The second trial resulted in verdict of
murder In the second degree, with sentence
of thirty-four years Imprisonment. The
