woMEK SCHOOL, rRusrEEs.


The appointment of two women on the
District board of school trustees is in
keeping with the progress of civilization.
In every community where this experiment
has been tried beneficial results have
followed, and it is a matter for congratu-
lation that the women of Washington have
been recognized among the pioneers in tEis
new field OF woman labor.
The time has gone by when man can
usurp and hold every position OF public
trust. Women are gradually winning their
way into different business calIings, and
it must be expected that they win also
find places in public office.
AS school trustees women seem es-
pecially fitted Their experience as teach
ers. their superior knowledge OF the wants
OF children, and their kindlier sympathies
with the young of both sexes, render
them more capable of acting as advisers
than the average bu siness man. The
Times cong -atulates the new trustees and
predicts for them a successful term OF

ExcEssIYE WATER RENTS.

The heavy burdens placed upon house
holders IN the District OF Columbia by the
exaciion OF excessive water rents are both
unfair and contrary TO good public policy.
They are unfair because the householders
tenants, rather than property owners
should not be made TO suffer for the
costly blunder OF the Lydecker tunnel;
and it is costly to good public policy to do
anything that restricts cleanliness.
Free as air and water is trite saying.
some municipalities have made it truism.
90 far as they are concerned, by abolish
ing all water rents and defraying the cost
OF maintaining and repairing their water
systems from the general tax fund. There
is no good reason why an equally liberal
and common sense policy should not be
pursued here in the District, the more as
there is an annual surplus OF revenue from
taxes considerably larger than the amount
received from water rents.
The burden falls most heavily upon those
OF limited incomes. The man who owns
property and lets it does not care how
high the water rent is, for his tenant pays
il. Nor does it matter TO the rich man
whether he paysthis rent. But the man who
by persevering industry has managed to get
himself little home, or The other with small
income, who rents a house, il is these that
are most seriously affected.
The contention is not made just now
that al water rents should be abolished.
That it VIII be raised sooner or later need
not be doubted. But water rents in the
District ought to be lowered, and that con-
siderabIy and promptly.

uHcLE SAM AND THE TINES. y

pride for the fearless manner in which il

rights OF a community are greater in the

interests OF individuals or corporations, and
on all matters Of public concern The Times
has endeavored 10 carry out this policy
There are times when it seems harsh TO

mission OF a newspapers touplift and guide

dark on affairs that affect social, moral
ana political questions.
Nor should a newspaper allow itself to
be subsidized by free gas. electric lights,

Relief from extortiona;e prices and bur

DIR. BusEY BADLY HURT.
He Fell Down an Elevator Shaft and
Fractured His Thigh.

He Fell Down an Elevator Shaft and
Fractured His Thigh.
A leaky valve in the elevator at the Con-
cord Flats, corner OF New Hampshire
and Oregon avenues, came near costing
DR. Samuel C. Busey his life about 1870
O'Clock yesterday forenoon.
Dr. Busey called at the Concord to attend
the sick child OF Mr. Charles " Dabney, Jr.,
Assistant Secretary OF Agriculture. After
entering the building he proceeded TO the
elevator door on the first floor, which was
partly open.
The elevator, however, owing to the leaky
valve had gradually assembled until ii was
nearly on a level with the second floor.
The physician stepped through the door,
believing the elevator TO be in place, and
before the elevator boy, who was standing
several yards away, could speak to DR..
Busey, he fell headlong TO the bottom OF the
shaft. a distance ofabout twelve feet. After
striking the large iron wheel at the bottom,
DR. Busey rebounded and struck heavily
on the concrete flooring.
Drs w w. Johnston, s. s. Adams, John
Van Rensselaer,, and c. +. Hagner were
quickly summoned. They found DR.. Busey
suffering intensely and had him removed to
his home, No 901 Sixteenth street north
west, in the Garfield Hospital ambulance.
His injuries consist of a cash on the fore
head. internal bruises, and a fracture OF
the right thigh bone in the socket. The in
jured man was resting quietly last night,
and his condition is reported as encoHrag-

COMPLAINTS BETTER THAN GAS Gov
ERNORs

The gas charts prepared for The Times
by the government official who found COM
plants better than gas governors TO re-
cuce gas bills, are creating a sensation.
1t has always been charged that gas com
pany officials read gas meters with mag
nifying glasses, but no one believed them
30 thoroughly unscupulous as to make
oat gas bills without reading the meters
at all
But IL would seem SO. according 10 the
statement OF this government official,
who found economy in the use of gas, a
careful watching OF the meters and trial
OF gas governors made no difference with
hi hills. For two years he vainIy en-
deavoned TO ascertain why they were so
large, aud one day in desperation be
made vigorous complaint. and succeeded
in securing a reduction without the ne
cessity OF further. economy or the trouble
ofobtaining rebate.
The gas hill OF this gentleman from No
vember to February, inclusive, 1889
1890, a four months period, was $3.50.
For the same number OF burners used the
same length OF time. with gas at the same
price, bis gas bill from November to Feb
ruary, inclusive, 1s9O-lsS1, was only
$lse. a REDUCTION OF $s2. For period
OF four months. under exactly the same
conditions, from November TO February,
Is9I-ls92. he again kept the bill down
20 Slee. showing that his complaints saved
the government about 5000 for the twenty
seven months following November, 1889.
Carefully look over his chart, and while
making up your mind to follow his exam
pie, don't forget TO send in your coupons
for cheaper gas.

Men willing TO work can not find the oppor-

obtain fair equivalent for that work, and,
believe. il isgenerally conceded that some
ailment affects the body polite. Who can
properly diagnose the case, and who can
suggest q proper remedy? These are both
very important questions. While letter
writing contest on either question might

the result would be beneficial. The con-
test should stimulate thought and widen

Several eastern newspapers are advising
against the payment of the income tax.
Until declared differently by the Supreme
Court the income tax is as competent as
any other law, and the person who ad-
vises differently is a conspirator and de-
serves TO be punished accordingly. These
same papers make a great howl when a
labor leader denounces an oppressive
measure, and usually declare him an an
archist. What can be said OF them, when
they deliberately claim the income tax is
unjust ana advise taxpayers to ignore it?

ton the house was effectively decorated
with palms. massed in the bay windows
and about the corners of the parlors. On
the mantels were Annunciation lilies.
The entertainment was given in order that
the guest OF honor might have the oppor.
tunity OF meeting such members of the

and the occasion was therefore more in
the nature of welcome to Washington
than the more formal tenor of an ordinary
reception given to introduce pastor
elect to the members of his future congre-
cation.

pleasant hostess, ably supplemented her
father in according a cordial welcome to
