Tne High school Drin.

The two great public events Of the year in
the estimation of the High School young men
are the battalion drill in Music Hall and the
drill in the plaza before the Arlington Hotel
later on, when the District Commissioners and
school trustees, with friends of the boys, turn
out to encourage them. This year, as there
are six companies to drill, it was thought that
the White Lot, south of the Executive Man
sion, would afford more space and the specta-
Thursday afternoon But an inspection drill
on that lot one very warm day of last week
convinced the drillmasters that it had better
be abandoned altogether rather than make the
boys Ill from the excessive heat. Therefore if
no battalion drill, either ON the White Lot or
elsewhere, this year. "The idea," DIR. Lane,
principal of the High School, says, sis not to

What the Pupils Read.

The Curtis School, of Georgetown, on o
street, between Twenty-second and Twenty
third streets, is noted for the Peabody free
library, gift of that philanthropist to the
town, and as the home of the High School,
West End branch. There are one second,
two sixth, two seventh, and three
eighth-grade schools in the building, including
some three hundred pupils and nine teachers.
Each of these schools has a small and we'll
selected library with total of over two
thousand volumes. Mr.. Mirch, the principal,
says: "Not only are these school libraries
well patronized but the Peabody circulating
library is literally so by the older pupils and
teachers. The books most in demand are of
travel, geography, history, or incident. We
have Dickens's and Scott's novels, and both
authors are exceedingly popular. AS for fiction
generally it is not called for so much as you
might suppose. The impression is usually
made upon the pupils mind by the teacher of
some place or scene, and the books are sought
for that carry on subject suggested or made
interesting Thus we strive to cultivate
taste for higher literature and to suggest
lines of reading that may prove profitable.

The Art Work of the schools.

Among the interesting objects to be seen on
exhibition day, Monday, June 10, at the
Franklin building, will be the art work done
Morgan, principal of the Eighth grade, is con-
sidered the best teacher of art in the building.
Drawing is part of the regular instruction
in all of the grades, and by the time a pupil
reaches the grammar school he has pretty
good idea of form and design in pencil, with
brush, and in decorative and plastic art. A
HERALD reporter examined some of the work
in each of these lines done by Miss Morgans
pupils. Among the specimens were object
drawings, or applying geometrical principles
to outlining. This involved some teaching in
perspective. The pupils were first taught
little of historic art and symbols and the deco
rative work from designs of their own making.
Thus they drew a natural flower from the
living subject. They then conventionalized
it, and by repetitions composed freiZe of
roses, mountain laurel, Virginia creeper, or
other natural flowers, all of which were artisti-
cally beautiful. Some of the girls had de-
signed bud or leaf pattern on paper for
dolly or napkin, and then wrought it out
in plastic art, and finally in embroidery, on
daintily hemstitched bits of linen, pretty
enough for any housewives linen drawer or
tea-table. Each school-room in the Franklin
building will on exhibition day have the art
work of the year displayed on the blackboards
or in some articles of use designed and made
by the pupils, in addition to their regular
school lessons. Those friends of the public
schools or parents who do not avail them
selves of this chance to see how great the ad-
vance has been will miss an opportunity of
becoming better acquainted with what the
public schools are doing for this generation of
young people.

A Novel Idea.

1t is established fact that large per cent of
Ill health is caused by the use of impure water.
Dowhat I'VE may it is impossible to make hy-
drant water pure, for while filter may remove
the mud and dirt, the organic matter which is
practically disease germs, still remains. In
Pittsburg the people have nearly all discarded
the use of hydrant water for drinking puT-
water, which is brought to the city daily from
the springs, distance of about seVenty-five
miles. The same thing is now being done in
Washington, but with much purer water.
1t is obtained from the Takoma Park Springs
1t has been put on the market by the Ia
koma Park Springs Company, No. $50 F
street northwest, at the low price of 10 cents
per gallon, and in order that i'll may know of
its merits the company invites you to call or
drop them card with your address, when they
will send you sample of the water free Of

field meet at the Y. M. c. A. Park, on
Saturday, the 18th, at 4:3O p. NJ. The
greatest interest has been manifested in all
athletic sports at the High School during the
past year. With the valuable aid of Pro-
fessor Sims, Y. M. G.. A., and Professor
Crossley, 9. A. c., their field contest of the
fall of 1890 was carried through with great
enthusiasm. The football team lost no
games during the season and an ex-
cellent tennis tournament has just been con-
cluded. Everything will be done to
make this last event the greatest sue
cess of ALL The programme will include
100yards dash, 220 yards hurdle. 44O yards
run, 44O yards bicycle race, putting shot, tug
of war, throwing base ball, pole-vault, stand
ing broad jump, running broad jump, running
high jump, and running hop, step, and jump.
Medals will be awarded for most of the events
and for general excellence. The following

this place he kept his pistol. On Saturday
morning he visited the gallery and asked an
attendant, who, by the way, is a friend of LIE
Cointe's, for box Of 32-calibre cartridges.
The attendant, however, denies that he OBJ
tanned them there. That night about IL
o'clock lie Cointe sent some one to the gallery,
who obtained for him his pistol. This attend
ant, by some queer circumstance, was almost
on the spot when the shooting occurred and
was among those who entered the house and
aided in carrying Mrs. LIE Cointe to the Emer-
gency Hospital.
On the night of lie Cointes arrest he stated
that he had not suspected his wife Of infdelity
until that day. The very next day he asserted
to an officer that she was in the habit of fire.

and Frost, while the latter agree in their
statements that they believe plan had been
arranged by which they should be found in
an apparently compromising position in order
to Justify LIE Cointe's action Whether they
were thus found is not proven, and on this
point lie Cointe's story as told at different
times is not consistent. On the night of the
shooting after lie Cointe's arrest he
told SUNDAY HERALD reporter
that as he entered the door
of Miss Eaton's front room his wife came
through the door of the back room. He went
to the door, saw man in bed, and Immediately
understanding the situation fired at her and
then began his fusillade on Frost. few
days later he said that whes he pushed open
the door of the back room Frost was lying in
the bed, while his wife sat on the side of it,
This story he relates after due consideration
and after he has seen lawyer. He stated as
well that his wife was en- deShabHe, but such
was not the fact, as the officers who moved
her to the hospital and doctor there declared
that she was entirely dressed with the ex-
.ception of her dress.
In all of lie Cointe's tales he totally ignores
Miss Eaton and refused positively to connect
her in any way with the case. While at the
First Precinct an officer asked LIE Cointe
whether he had not seen Miss Eaton in the
room He hesitated before replying and then
eXcitedly exclaimed, 81 do not know whether
/ saw her or not" His interest in some
woman, however, is certain. Just before the
HERALD reporter entered the station-house
that night Miss Eaton had been taken to the
matron's room When the reporter began to
question LIE Conte he interrupted him and
said, "Who was that woman whom l just
heard ?" The reporter said he had seen none,
whereupon LIE Cointe said that he had heard
a womans voice, and asked the reporter to
see who 1t was and describe her to him.
LIE Cointe had evidently contemplated this
deed. For some time he had been habitue
OF a shooting gallery on Pennsylvania avenue,
where he praeticed shooting frequently. At

There are still echoes and reverberations to
be heard about town from the shots which
jealous George LIE Cointe fired at his pretty
wife and Charles 9. Frost week ago
last night in Mrs Rogers's clearinghouse.
No. GOA Twelfth street. The mystery sur
rounding the affair has not been cleared up,
and this has kept the discussion very lively
all the week among the large number of persons
who in one way or another are interested in
the quartette. Indeed, the mystery would be
deeper than ever IL the conflicting and
constantly shifting stories told by the prin-
,cipals to the affair were not taken with good
many grains of salt.
There is no longer any mystery, of course,
about the actual shooting affray. The mys-
terry is about the motives which impelled LIE
'Cointe and the previous relations between him
and Frost and the woman Grace Eaton, whose
implication in the affair has formed one of its
most interesting features. That the four
principals were mixed up in way that people
of quiet habits who are careful of their repu-
tations would avoid is abundantly proved by
the admissions of each. Frost, Mrs.
LIE Cointe, and Grace Eaton must
have h. ts been having il. ~. high a old 1t time
fore LIE Cointe burst in with his pistol. Still
this need not necessarily imply that either
woman was guilty in the highest degree, nor,
on the other hand, that LIE Cointe was in
entire ignorance of his wife's apparently free
and-easy fellowship with the other two. Right
here is the interesting point in the whole stua-
ton. There is no reliable evidence to be had
to make it entirely clear, but here and there
stray facts have been gathered up that throw
good deal of light on it.
These bits of evidence do not by any means
tend TO strengthen belief in the idea of the 'out-
ragged husband" but rather go to show that
q cunning plot was laid to rid LIE Cointe of
rival OF whom he was intensely. jealous by
decoying the latter into a situation that would
in same measure justify violence.
1t is significant fact that though none of
the parties have seen each other or had the
opportunity to communicate, the cilcum-
stances as related by LIE Cointe and Grace
Eaton implicate in every detail Mrs. LIE Cointe
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-06-07

most conflicting one Miss Eaton, on the
other hand, clings to her version tenaciously.
Her story is well known. Any attempt, how
ever, by reporter to get from her further de-
tails on the line of her one statement is
backed by her refusal to answer questions.
By her own story she must have been q will
ing accessory to the occupancy of her rooms
by Frost and Mrs. LIE Cointe en- deshabUe
When LIE Cointe came home, ostensibly from
Baltimore, he found nothing which would JUS
tify him in doing violence. Confident, how
ever, that he had but to wait, he whispered
a word to Miss Eaton and went
out. BY his own admission he
only told the tale about going to sit in a game
of poker as an excuse to leave the house
again. He went on the outside and watched.
What did he wait for? A signal, perhaps,
and then he rushed up the stairs. He went
directly to the spot and seemed to know ex-
actly where to find his wife. After he had
shot Frost so that be could not possibly arise
butt end of his revolver and then held him
lest he might escape. He had Frost where he
wanted him and waited for witnesses. When
the officer appeared LIE Cointe exclaimed,
"Catch the woman"
The intense discontinue of LIE Cointe
when he learned that both of his victims
would probably recover was quite apparent.
That he wished by killing both his wife and
Frost to destroy any testimony they might
give is the claim made by some of their
friends.
When Miss Eaton's connection with the
affair in a questionable light became clear
Director Andrews, of the Corcoran Art School,
of which Miss Eaton was pupil, sent her
word that he did not desire her to return to
the school. Some interesting stories about
Miss Eaton's conduct at the school are told by
her fellow-pupils. The latter rather avoided
associating with her, as they thought her bold
and not as modest as lady ought to be-. On
one occasion class of young ladies, Miss
Eaton being one of them, had as model a
we'll built young man, whose arms and breast
were barred. Miss Eaton asked fellow stu
dent if she thought it improper to kiss men.
The young lady said she did, and Miss Eaton
then declared that she didn't think
it at all improper and kissed them every time
she got chance. Continuing, she said she
didn't want an intellectual man for hus-
band. She could find all the bright and in

Physical Culture in the Schools.

Miss Rebecca Stoneroad has given her at
tention to physical culture during the past
year in the schools She not only trains the
pupils, but has in measure to train teachers
to carry out her instructions. public school
is not gymnasium, but aims simply for 'health
exercises" The pupils are taught how to
stand, sit, or walk so as to give the proper de-
velopment to the vital organs. They are also
taught the uses of deep breathing and loose
clothing Miss Stoneroad visits each school
regularly once in four weeks, and on each
visit new exercises are taught, occupying pu-
pills from ten to twenty minutes each day.
Reasons are given for the exercise so that the
pupil comes to understand what it is for. Miss
Stoneroad's duties are arduous She has two
assistants. The superintendent and trus-
tees are much pleased with the results of ply
sical training in the various schools.

tellectual things she cared for in books. She
wanted good, strong man with fine physical
development for her husband. Talk of this
kind rather shocked Miss Eaton's fellow
students at the art school and made the m
look on her with suspicion. OF course, none
OF this got to the ears of the director until
after the affair of last Saturday night.
The whole affair is a m. m.istifying one that
may perhaps never be solved. Whether it
will ever come to trial is an open question.
If it does the case will probably be one of the
most sensational that Washington has ever
had.
Both Mrs LIE Cointe and Frost are doing
very well, and there is scarcely doubt but
that both of them will recover. Miss Eaton
is under $500 bond as a witness, while LIE
Cointe is still at the jail, having been unable
to secure his release as DIR. Bowen will not
certify that his victims are positively out of
danger.
