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.

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.

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

History of Some OF the Carnegie Arm.

History OF Some OF the Carnegie Armor
Plates.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE armor
plate investigating committee intends to
make a new move towards locating weak
spots on warships. 1t is expected the
navy department will be asked co take
certain plates of the gunboat Machias
and subject them to tests. The Machias
is now in the Brooklyn navy yard. Her
condition is such that it Ia believed GER
tain defective plates can be traced by
specific numbers and, when located, be
put to test.
Lieutenant Alderman was again be-
fore the committee Today. He gave the
history OF some of the plates, with view
to locating their present whereabouts,
He also gave additional evidence of the
methods of government inspection at the
Carnegie works.
The witness said the Carnegie com.
pany knew in advance what plates
would be selected from the groups for
tests. The irregular cold water baths
secretly given to plates, disclosed by
some OF the informers, would make
the plates structurally weak and subject
to be cracked by shot. The evidence
OF one OF the informers located such o
plate in the coming tower OF the New
York. Chairman Cummings read from
the evidence OF one of the informers:
This is to the effect that he had Sc
cured the government stamp from Lieu
tenant Wilmer, who had charge OF the
steamship Koun:z. This testimony
went on to give numerous hearsay re-
ports as to the witnesses' habits. 1t was
stated that the lieutenant played cards
and drank during the evening at hotel
near the works. A young woman en-
ployed at the hotel had told the in former
of having helped the officer to his room
on one occasion.
As to the armor OF Terror, Lieutenant
Ackerman said he had visited the ship
and located two plates containing the
defects disclosed by the informers. The
plates contained small holes which have
been plugged up. The condition OF the
plates was kept from the public in order
that the investigation might proceed
pany might be avoided. Lieutenant
Alderman located number OF D uggsd
plates in the Monterey. Another
plugged plate was located in both the
Cincinnati and Monterey. Another de-
fective plate was said to be in the
Maohias. Lieutenant Alderman pre-
sented statement which was re-
gsrded by the committee as very
important az it gave the various
ships of the navy on which the defective
armor plates are located. with the exact
location of each plate. OF these plates
the defects are OF various kinds and de-
gress of seriousness.
Lieutenant Alderman believed the
superintendent of the works responsible
for the Irregularities, and while the
superintendent was too shrewd to give
orders for such irregularities. he had in
direct influence in bring it about. This
closed Lieutenant Ackerman's evidence.
The committee regard it as the most
valuable yet given.
