The Public Schools of our city
gave their first public entertainment
for this year in Cummings Hall on last
Saturday evening. The entertain
ment WAS well patronized by our citi-
zens, and snch entertainments de-
serve to be well patronized. The ex-
ercises were marked for the good
Judgment in the selection and ar
raDgement of the program. No at
tempt seemed to DO made to make it a
mere show, but to instruct as well as en-
terrain. Every grade in the school had
a part on the program and some de-
serve special mention for the part they
took but as it was all good we do not
desire to discriminate. If this enter
tainment was an index to the work of
our schools it is certain that good
solid work has been done this year.
Prof. Riste and his corps of teachers
are highly deserving of the gratitude
and support Of every citizen of this
city.

CEN. FLAGLER,S REPORT.
Something Interesting About Big Guns and
Smolteless Powder.


SmoIkelesS Powder.
Gen. Daniel w. Flagler, Chief of Ordnance
United States Army, in his annual report re.
gently submit tied to the Secretary of War, has
some very interesting things to say regarding
big guns and smokeless powder.
The seacoast.gun factory at the Watertown
Arsenal has been greatly improved, but not
completed. The pressing needs of the service
for carriages the production of which is largely
in arrears. demands that the equipment of this
plant be pushed to completion as early as prac-
ticable.
The test of the 10 and 12-inch-ty guns is
still in progress owing to the great delays in
procuring powders that ulfill contract require
meuts. The tests of the French and German
smokeless powders show that they are well
adapted for use with heavy guns, the German
powder having the advantage, giving as good
velocity az the French with "a somewhat less
charge. The German powder has the further
marked advantage that it is readily made up
into cartridges, while much time is required
for putting up the French powder
The Department will have completed at the
end of the calendar year Is 8incb, eight To-
inch. and three l2-inch seacoast guns, which
will be available for issue to the service as soon
as carriages are provided for them.
The 10 inch gun has been tested and the 12-
inch is now ready. The accuracy of the new
guns is great, especially that of the S-inch

Capt. w. II. Michael. Commander OF the De-

Union, last week issued an order, in which,
after recitng the objects of the organization,
he drifts into politics quite extensively, saying:
% 1t is the duty, therefore, of your Depart

cations, to call your attention to the fact that
veterans the eve of great battle, in
volving their good name, their honor and
their most sacred rights. / refer to the cleo
tion to take place on the 9Th day of November
next. On that day will be decided who shall
be President for the next four years. On that
day will be decided whether the United States
Senate and House of Representatives shall be
Republican or Democratic. What does this
mean to the veterans who saved the Union ?"
He then makes reference to Mr. Harrison's
war record, to Mr. Cleveland's pension yetoes,
ETC., and closes by saying: eff the veterans
would help themselves and help each other.
they must vote for their eomrade, who stood
with them at the front. and with the party that

LAWMAKERS EXPERIMENTING,

On Thursday afternoon, Oct. q, considerable
speculation was INDUCED in by citizens of
Washington at the appearance of an immense
balloon looming up in the clouds across tho
Potomac in Virginia. and every body wanted to
know if there were people in it, its size being
thought sufficient to carry several persons. 1t
was the first of series of experimental ascen-
sions which are to DE made by the rainmakers
of the Agricultural Department from the Gov
eminent reservation at Fort Myer.
The balloon carried two passengers-Prof FL.
A. Hazen, of the Weather Bureau, and Mr.. John
r. Ellis, of the Agricultural Department, who
had charge Of the rainfall experiments for some
months in Texas last year. The object of the
ascent was to test the relative humidity of the
upper air strata, and the trip was a very sue
tessiul one.
The start was made little after o'clock
and the balloon remained alOft for three hours
attaining maximum altitude of between 5000
and 10000 feet, with q minimum temperature
of 13o Fahrenheit, and landing seven miles
from Fort Myer. where it had left the earth.
The cloud strata stood at lac, and was frozen,
of course and even the surrounding clear air
was completely saturated, though the upper
region was found to be very dry. The differ
ence in temperature of 400 between the high
est elevation and the surface of the earth was
very unusual,

CHANGING DISTRICT NAMES.
Some Of the oderiferous Applications viii not

be Found on the New Maps.
It was decided by the District OF Columbia
authorities last week that commission should
be appointed to revise the geographic names
which have become attached to the hills, val
leys, streams, streets, and alleys OF the lO-miio
square of ground set apart for the National
Capital. and bring order out of chaos and do
away with some of the unpleasant sounding
names at present attached to some OF them.
Some of these alleys arc disgrace to the com
munity; being known by such appelatIons as
Louise, Pig, Lineup Fighting, etc.
The Chief of the Coast Survey has appointed
as a member of this Commission Mr.. b. +. Co
lonna the District Commissioners appointed Mr.
w. 2. Richards, of the Engineers Depar meut,
and the President of the Board of Geographic
Names appointed Prof Otis G.. Mason. OF the
Smithsonian Institution. to act "a said Commits
sion.
The necessity for taking this step to regulate
the geographical naming of the City OF Wash
ingtou and its suburbs has been made apparent
III the course of the work on a map of the Dis
trict which Is in course Of preparation by the
Coast Survey. This map will DO a magnificent
work. and on n much larger scale than any
other heretofore made. Each square mile will
be outlined upon single sheet, so that the map
will be 100 sheets in size, and will cover more
space than the largest theatrical poster. The
map makers were much puzzled to settle upon
the names for various parts of the District IS
they found that many hills, streams. and roads
were known by two or three names, which
have become attached TO them through some in
cident or person who has figured at some time
in local history, while others lack appropriate
names.
1t will be the duties of this Commission to
remedy this confusion, but they will not blot
out any geographic title which is endeared to
the inhabitants. They will look into local his
tory where the names belong to some old land
mark, find ont how they originated. and the
one which is found to be most appropriate will
be adopted. The names of early settlers and of
events which have been turned to geographic
cal use will receive due consideration. Some
of these names, such az Louise alley can easily
be dropped and never missed. The Commission
will be glad to receive suggestions which will
help in solving problems of precedence and fit
ness which they are now called on to solve for
all time

THE FURNITURE RETURNED.
Count Mitkiewicz Gives Bond and His Goods
are Restored.

The case of Julian Wall, the Washington
agent of E. J. Horuer, of New York, against
Count Eugene d. Mitkiewicz and others, came
up for hearing this morning before Judge
Bradley in the Circuit Court upon motion of
the defendant, Mitkiewiez, for a return of the
property recently seized by the Marshal under
a writ of replevin. The plaintiff was repre-
sented by III. NJ. Westfal, the local attorney,
and also by Mr.. Burke. of Brooklyn. The
Count was represented by Clarence A. Brandon
burg and Robert Cristy. After argument the
court granted the motion of the defendants
attorneys and passed an order directing the
Marshal TO return to the Count the furniture
seized upon his giving bond, with surety to be
approved by the court. The bond will be fur
nished. Mitkiewicz says, sometime during the
present week.
1t isunderstood that Judge Bradley's decision
in this suit is based on the legal proposition
that personal property cannot be repleyined by
person who is unable to prove ownership in
it. Mr.. Horner should therefore have been the
plaintiff instead of his agent, Mr. Wall.

General Land Office for several years all of

settlers upon the same statement of facts and
construction of the law.

to be no other way for them to publicly ex-

come TO the Executive Of the Nation. When
this subject was under discussion last week,
Mrs. Harrisons own conduct, when the sad
events of two Winters ago brought desolation
to the homes of Secretaries Tracy. Window
and Blaine, quickly came TO the mind Of every
one. She at this time did all that conld have

sorrows of the families OF Secretaries Blaine

DIPLOMATS At THE FAIR.
They Praise the Magnificence of their Train
and the Wonders of Chicago.

They Praise the Magnificence of their Train
and the Wonders of Chicago.
The special train which carried the Dplo-
matte Corps from Washington to Chicago and
back again was one of the finest ever run be-
tween the two cities. and the members of the
CORPS expressed themselves in the most en-
thusiastic manner respecting their trip and
what they saw the shores of the great lakes.
Baron Fava. the Italian Minister, who is
Dean of the Diplomatic Corps said: :" never
saw such maguificence before, except in the
train which my King occupies when ho travels
in Italy. For the people there Is nothing like
it anywhere else in the world. We appreciate
the enterprise and Ingenuity that work such
results however, and our King has bestowed a
title of honor upon Mr.. Pullman in recognition
of his achievements. AS to the Worlds Fair,
it far surpasses my imagination of what might
be. Such stnpeudous and artistic results are
simply wonderful. The appearance of the host
within the building was inspiring and unpar-
alleled"
NJ De Struve, the Russian Minister, could
find no words. he said, in which to adequately
express himself. The management of the rail-
road, no less than the gorgeousness of the
trains, impressed him. cit is not only that
we are carried in such handsome coaches,
but the cafe dining carr service is something
to admire. Nothing is lacking. / can only
say that | am overwhelmed by the experience
at Chicago. Surely its like was never seen be-
fore"
Senior De LONE, the Spanish Minister said
that the magnitude OF the Fair did not surprise
him. 1--WE are accustomed to big things, you
know. But everything was done so easily and
in such perfect order. / cant understand it all.
The Fair certainly promises to be all that is
expected"
Mr.. lie CHAT, Belgian Minister, summed it
all up in the phrase Everything was worthy
of Chicago"
The Hon. Mr.. Herbert, the British Charge
d'Affaires and Secretary of Legation. said that
probably never before in the history Of the
world had so many people been gathered to-
gether under cover as were in the Manufact-
urers Building Friday. "And certainly l
never expect TO see so many again. The dar-
ing Imagination that could conceive and the
danntless spirit that could construct such
building are truly American"
China was represented by Pung Kwang Yu,
First Secretary of Legation. He admitted
that Oriental magnificence found its truest
manifestation in the land of the Occident. and
that what he saw in Chicago far surpassed the
widest vision of far-otf India.
Before leaving the train the diplomats agreed
upon the draft of a note TO be sent TO the Secre-
tary of State by Baron Fava, expressing their
appreciation of the delightful manner in which
they had been transported to Chicago and
back, aud entertained while in that city. Tho
Secretary will be asked to convey to the mem
beers of the committee in charge of their enter
tainment the warmest thanks of the visitors.
