New Scholars Mt the Public Schools
Prosperity of Colored Schools


Prosperity Of Colored Schools
New scholars reported In goodly numbers
this morning and. together with the trans
ferred pupils received yesterday. the public
schools OF the District Of Columbia are
row properly started on the work of the
year. The school rooms were well filled to-
day, and when the children who have not
yet returned from their vacations arrive, IL
is thought that but few empty seats will
remain.
The colored schools are equally as flourish
ing as the white schools. and Superinten-
dent Cock is almost swamped with work
attendant upon the opening at his Office In
the Sumner building. Mr.. Cook stated to q
Star reporter today that a larger number
of colored persons attend the public
schools n proportion to the popula ton than
do white persons, and he is entirely pleased
with the outlook for the coming year. The
average attendance last year was l,O4l,
with a daily percentage attendance OF 951
which is very creditable. 1t is expected
that fully 11,Oo0 colored pupils will be en-
rolled before the close Of September.
At the colored High School Principal Car
dczo had his hands full dividing his classes
into sections and properly assigning the
pupils thereto. He is unable as yet 10 cor
rectly estimate the number of pupils en-
tered, although there are 600 at least The
courses pursued In the white and colored
schools are similar in every respect.

chapel The afternoon meeting was devoted
10 considering the question OF the proposed
division of the synod. Discussion was gen.

TO be, although no vote was taken, that
good rather than harm would come by the
withdrawal of the members in the extreme
western part to form new synod IL they so

A New Use for Natural Cns,

From Cassfer's Magazine.
The possibilities Of natural gas eyide tly
have not yet been exhausted The latest
use which would seem to have been found
for II is the making of ice. the idea being
simply to expand the gas from its usually
high initial pressure down to or near that
of the atmosphere. nature having done all
the preliminary work of compression and
cooling. making the gas ready to absorb
heat from its surroundings Immediately
upon being released from confinement All
that would be necessary would be suitable
coils or chambers into which the gas could
be allowed to expand. 1t has been calcu-
lated cut quite plausibly. in fact, that
with an ordinary gas well, furnishing ,5OO-
ooO cubic feet per day. something like fifty
tons of ice could be turned out daily at an
expense Of about 80 cents a ton. The gas
loses nothing but its pressure. retaining
ell Its calorifc value. and, hence, all Its
virtue for rolling-mill and glass works use
for heating brick. lime and pottery kilns
and TIE endless number of other furnaces
TO which it is adj pied In a certain way,
therefore, the gas may be regarded as af-
fcrding something for nothing-a desidera-
tum to which many In this world are con-
stantly looking forward.

1880 to prevent solicitations for aid by any
member Of the force to secure for himself
or any other person prizes thus rendered.
Appeals OF this character, In the interest
OF individual members and not for the good
OF this department as a whole" says the
order, cannot fail TO give annoyance 10
citizens. and, furthermore, such COMPETE
lions are calculated to engender petty jeal-
oGsie5 detrimental alike to the discipline

The order referred to reads: That in
the future no member Of the police force
will be permitted. under penalty of severe
punishment 10 engage with any club. assoc

In buying timed salmon it is well
: to select some brand recommended
by a first class grocer and adhere
, to it. The cheapest kinds are apt
: not to be salmon, but dog fish. The
= genuine article comes in two grades,
differing rather in solidity and free
dom from bone than in quality or
flavor. The very best canned
salmon can be removed from the tin
, in solid piece free from skin and
} bone, and may be treated like fresh
salmon. The simplest way of serv-
J ing salmon is to remove all particles
of skin and bone, and to pile it upon
a platter, surrounding it with Sec
lions of lemon. A flask of vinegar
and another of tomato catsup should
} accompany it. A bed of lettuce
leaves under it makes of it sort of
; impromptu salad, which every per-
: son may dress at his own pleasure.
When it is served cold, the can
should stand upon ice for at least
an hour beforehand.
D A mayonnaise of salmon is good
luncheon dish for summer, and is
D less fatal to good digestion than
lobster. To one can of salmon
! allow two good sized heads of lettuce.
j Make upon platter a bed of the
crisp heart leaves, and tear the
other leaves into small pieces with
a silver fork. Drain the oil from
the can of salmon, and separate the
fish into flakes, taking care to re-
ject a cupful of boiling milk with a
tablespoonful of butter and two
tablespoonful of flour, and stir
over the fire until quite smooth.
, Add to this a tablespoonful of
f chopped parsley, and the salmon,
potato and crumbs. Season with
pepper and salt, and set the mix
ture away in buttered dish until
it is quite cold. Mold it into balls,
dip them in beaten egg and then in
: cracker crumbs, and fry until
, brown. Serve on bed of parsley,
or pour Hollandaise sauce over
them. Salmon outlets are prepared
in the same way, but the mixture
is nodded into the form of small
r chop. Serve these with a sauce
, Tartare, which lisa thick mayonnaise

of onion juice and tablespoonful
