NEW ENGLAND ILLITERAoY.
Governor Fishback, Of Arkansas,
Demonstrates It's Existence.


Ignorance in the South, or as our
friends of the North are wont to term
it, Southern ignorance, has long been
the subject of Northern comment and
criticism. But ignorance in the North
and East, if we would believe the peo-
pie of those sections, is thing apart
and according to their theory admits
neither of discussion nor criticism.
Right here is where Arkansas distin-
guished governor begs leave to differ
from them and does so in an open
letter, in the following incomparably
excellent manner:
To New England aud Pennsylvania:
In recent paper read by me before
the Southern Governors Convention
at Richmond | called attention to the
fact that false impressions of the con-
dition of affairs in the South are al
most universal, not only in the north
ern half of our own country, but in
Europe. A large number of the re-
spectacle press of the north deny that
this is true.
New England, New York and Penn
sylvania not only Indignantly deny it,
but assume the role of missionaries to-
ward this benighted region we call the
South, and like Mrs Jellyby, they are
so intensely solicitous about the notes
in southern eyes, they are permitting
a good sized beam to grow in their
own eyes.
So intelligent gentlemen as Hon.
Mr., Blair, of New Hampshire, while
united States Senator from that state,
pressed with the zeal of an earnest
missionary, an education bill, based
upon one of these false impressions to
which, as / am myself disposed TO do
some missionary work in these North
ern states, desire to call their atten-
ton, in the sincere hope that in such
way, that they will take steps to ex-
tract the beam.
Mr.. Blair's bill was based upon the
false assumption that we Of the South
are not doing our duty in regard to
education and especially toward the
negroes. Leading journals make the
charge openly. Volume |, No II,
pages and 7 of the recent census of
the United States, taken by officials
whom | believe nobody will accuse of
partiality to the South, shows that
Arkansas white people, who pay
about 9S per cent of the tax which
supports our public schools, are not
only educating larger percentage OF
their own white children than New
Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts,,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but
they are, in addition to this, educating
larger percentage Of the negro chill
dren of the State than New Hamp-
shire, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island
and even cultured Massachusetts,, are
educating of their own children, who
are bone Of their bone and flesh Of
their own flesh. How many people
North know this? And do they not
know it? Very respectfully,
w. M. FIsABACK.

Died..

At the family residence, on the
West side, at an early hour this morn
ing, Mr.. John Baker, after laying for
several days in an unconscious state,
the result of q recent stroke Of paralys-
is. The deceased was an old and re-
spected citizen of this city, where he
has piled his vocation as a carpenter
and builder, for number Of years.
A wife, one son and four daugh-
ters, are left TO mourn his loss.
Mr. Baker, at the time Of his aflliction,
was engaged in the construction of
several houses at Wilton and had just
reached the scene Of the work early
Wednesday morning, when he was,
without moments warning, stricken
down by one of those paralytic
strokes, which are as sudden and dead
ly and as they are unexpected and
often inexplicable. The stricken man
was al once brought to his home in
this city, where he has lain in an un-
conscious condition, until the hour of
his death this morning. All that
medical skill and constant care could
do, was done, to relieve the sufferer,
but to no avail. The funeral services
will be conducted from the family
home in Sun Set, tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock. The DEMOCRAT OK
tends heartfelt sympathy to the be-
reaved wife and fatherless children.

PROF. RILEY FAvoRs DIRECT EXTENSION.
This afternoon Pro-. c. v. Riley called upon
Capt Powell to discuss the matter Of extend
ing Connecticut avenue. He said he wanted
to be recorded Is one in favor Of III
direct extension He was not speak
ing from a selfish standpoint but
honestly believed the future interests Of Wash
ington demanded the straight extension
Of all avenues and streets. Were Connec-
ticut avenue extended in a straight line il would
furnish communication with the Geological
Park, q matter that at this time ID
attracting great deal Of consideration. He
thought that there should be direct communi-
cation with the park and said he favored the
suggestion Of Capt Hoxie when the latter
was connected with the engineer department.
His plan was to build Q dam near the
point where Massachusetts, avenue crossed
Rock creek and another dam a short distance
above the old Adams mill in the park. This
would flood all Of that low area along the creek
which Is now practically yalueless and
Then steam or electric launches could ply
back and forth. and visitor to the park would
not only get q direct and pleasant route, but
would pass through one Of the most pictur-
esque and beautiful sections Of the country.
Washington has no lakes. and be believed Q lake
of that character would be Of untold benefit TO
the city.

NO AUTOPSY WAS HELD,
But There Was n Lively Interview Be-
tween Warden Burke and Dr. Mcwiiiiams.

But There Was n Lively Interview Be-
tween Warden Burke and DR.. Mcwiiiiams.
Edward Burke, deputy warden Of the Dis
trict jail, handed to Coroner Patterson yester-
day large envelope in which was q certificate
Of death Of Georgia johnson. a colored woman
who died at the Jail Thursday of gastric trouble.
The certificate was regularly signed by DR.. Nc
Williams, the Jail physician, but with it was a
note from Warden Burke telling the coroner Of
arumor about the Jail to the effect that the
woman had been poisoned. The note, which
was addressed ito whom it may concern" con-
veyed the intelligence that before her death the
patient had said to the nurse that she had been
poisoned
When Dr. McWiiiiams heard Of what the war
den had done he hastened to Maj. Burke's Office
and lively interview was had. The latter said
he reported the matter because he thought it
was free to admit that he thought there was no
truth in the rumor.
Then Dr. ::McWilliams called on the coroner
and explained the nature of the woman illness.
His explanation of the case satisfied the coroner
that there was no reason to suspect that the
woman had been poisoned and he therefore de-
cided not to have an autopsy made. and rela-
tiyes of the woman were notified to take her
body The woman. who was serving year IN
prison, had been sick for several months.
Mrs Charles J. Hayes, Miss Alice Hayes and
Miss Margaret Christie left New York on Thurs
day for three months visit to friends in Eng
land.

grades offered BY this last route are in no way
superior to the direct line.
There are three frame dwellings in the direct
inc OF the extension, together with the brick
house Of Mr.. W. II. Moses
1t is expected that the hearing will develop
considerable opposition, although there is an
overwhelming sentiment in favor of the direct
extension.
THE INTENTION OF THE COMMISSIONERS
1t Is not the intention Of the Commissioners
to give public hearings on matters Of street ex-
tension in every instance The extension Of
Connecticut avenue, however, is such
an important matter, and there have
been 90 many protests fled against ito
straight extension, and equally as many petit
tons favoring II. that the Commissioners
thought it wise to get the expression Of opinion
and to hear the arguments pro and con before
proceeding.
Connecticut avenue will be the frst Of the
tmpor tant avenues that the Commissioners will
extend. At present the engineer department
Is engaged upon the survey Of ex-
tending 10th street and the work
thereon is progressing rapidly. The engineer
department after the hearing on Connecticut
avenue is over will proceed at once to sur
vey the country and lay out the lines. II
street extension OF the avenue will come
from the property holders just outside Of the
city limits, where several Of the streets have
been concerted and paved, and which, IL the
avenue is extended in straight line,
will have to be cut through. At present there
10 no money to carry out the wishes
Of the Commissioners in relation to these
street extensions. and they are proceeding un-
der the bill passed at the last session of Con-

A Hearing on the Proposed Improvement
to Take Place Monday.
One Of the most important hearings OF the
year will take place at the Commissioners
office next Monday at 2 o'clock. 1t is a hearing
accorded the public generally to discuss with
the Commissioners the extension of Connect
cut avenue.
The plan az presented above shows the pro-
posed extension Of Connecticut avenue in
direct line from the city. connecting in Wood
ley Park with the extension already opened on
the city lines from Rock Creek Park to the
District line. This is the plan as
prepared by the engineer department. 1t con-
templates grade Of per cent running from
Boundary to Wyoming avenue, necessitatiug =
cut OF from fifteen to twenty feet at LIE Roy
place and California avenue, and the streets
that are to be cut through are to be graded to
the avenue.
The grades Of Wyoming avenue and Kalor-
anna avenue are not to be disturbed, and the
creek will be crossed on bridge at the same
altitude as the present Rock Creek railroad
viaduct.
Another plan that has been talked Of IL to run
a straight grade from Boundary to Kalorama
avenue, the crossings ut Wyoming avenue, Cali
fornia avenue and LIE Roy place to be bridged
across the avenue.
1t has also been proposed to widen to fifty
feet the street called at present Connecticut
