$4,000 For a Parrot.

Mrs. Mary Jean Bradford, who died at
South Boston last week, leaves by will "a,
900 in trust for the care and maintenance
of her poll parrot. The parrot is only 25
years old, and was the joy, solace and COM
fort of Mrs. Bradford's declining years,
and has been in the family 20 years. The
parrot knows some choice explosives and
has acquired the fine art of conversation.
When Mrs. Bradford would say Good
morning, Polly, did you sleep well?" Polly
would answer, "Quite well, thank you,
or, "Not so well as usual" The intelli-
gence of the bird is said to be little short
of human.-Philadelph Press.

New Haven school Board.
! Hon. Maier Zurdcr of New Haven, Conn,
prominent banker and for twenty years
president of the school board OF that place
: spent a few hours in Washington yeste rday
Mr.. Zunder and MIR. y. Zunuer his brother
are returning from the Atlanta Exposition.
Mr. Zunder, being SO long connected with
educational affairs, is naturally Interested
in WasiIington's public schools, and its
four great universities, ana spent ms time
visiting our seats OF learning. HeexprcsSed
the greatest astunishment al the size and
magnificence OF the Catholic University
buildings. and said at Yale, there were
large and handsome buildings, but that four
of them together were not so large as
McMahon Hail.
The number of students in the Columbian
and Georgetown was also astonishing, and
compared very favorably with tlievencra bic
institution at New Haven. Yale has this
year ., 800 students, IN thefour departments
Speaking OF our public school system Mr..
Zunder says that IN many ways his little
town is far I'm advance OF the Capitol.
For instance, New Haven has manual
training schoolthatcos 81 5000. The mcEey
was given by Mrs. Boardnan, and, accord
ing to her desire, the most finished mecfani-
cal education is given. Electrical engineer
ing, surveying, and all branches Of carpent-
ing, turning and printing are taught.
Glasses from all the schools attend instruc-
tions in this building, which is centrally
situated, and IL seems a much more practical
way of teaching mechanics than our wash
ington system of trying to have Il training
school in each building. The kinderga rten
system is also in full operation in every de-
partment.
Mr.. Zundcr said that Washington is to be
congratulated on having 50 many universi-
ties, aud he said tina 1.-THE greatest intellectual
development is possible where high class
seats of learning are situated. New Haven,
he said, owes its prosperity and growth en-
tirely to Yale, so that with four universities.
Washington may yet hope to lead the world
of thought, and focus the success and
development of the entire nation.

money, drinks, cigars or sticks of candy.
In the particular complaint referred to ii
was stated that men congregatc in front OF
the place and annoy the girls as they pass
from the school. This the owner of the
place denies.
1t matters not whether the complaint al
to this particular pool room is true In
this respect or not. Pool rooms should
not be located near school houses, for they
have dangerous attractiveness for boys,
although 1t must be stated TO the credit of
the majority of the proprictors, that they
dislike to have minors in their rooms, and
discourage the coming of them in every
way. Many boy has laid the founda-
ton for the gambling habit III pool room.
Even If the proprietor expressly prohibits
gambling for money he cannot prevent it,.
There is a variety of good reasons why
pool rooms should not be located in the
immediate proximity OF school houses. In
any event, the Commissioners ought to
have discretionary power TO grant or re-
fuse the license and this authority ought to
be given them bs Congress at the very
earliest opportunity.

DR.. Grppory's Statement

Editor Times: In the issue of The
Times of this day you make statements
in respect to NE which are not true L
propose, at the proper time, to make a
full statement, giving all the facts This
intended to do at the meeting of the trus-
tees of the Howard University on the
18th inst, but was not accorded the OPP
portunity.
/ wish. however, to correct at once a
msStatement which appeared in your paper
of the 18th.
1t Is absolutely false that Mrs. Gregory
ever appeared before the trustees or
executive committee of Howard University
and made a statement of having loaned me
any funds of the boarding hail committee
She did serve one year gratuitously as
treasurer of the boarding hall committee.
and during this year the committee cleared
above all expenses nearly $1,000, being
500 in access of the amount cleared under
any subsequent management. This was In
1891, nearly five years ago.
About June 10, 1891, Mrs. Gregory was
requested to turn over to the treasurer
of the university the yearly accounts, the
time for which she was appointed having
expired. She had already given out checks
for the monthly bills, and balanced her
books as soon as the checks We're cashcd
at the bank. BY the 29th of June. 1891,
in less than thirty days, she turned over
to Mr.. j. B. johnson, trea asurer, all funds
due the boarding hall committee, and she
received at the time the following reso-
luton from the secretary of the boarding
hall committee:
Howard University. Washington, d. c.,
June, 1S91.-Mrs. F. f. Gregory-Madam nj:
The boarding hall committee desires me to
express to you its thanks for the neat and
accurate manner in which you have kept
the treasurer's accounts. Yours truly,

KEEP SIDEWALKS CLEAN.

1t is to be hoped that the police will
carry out strictly the Commissioners order
to enforce riSitIly the regulation which
interdicts the littering OF sidewalks and
streets with all sorts OF rubbish. There are
some houscholders so utterly careless about
the neatness OF Their own premises, and
so entirely regardless of tue comfort of
their neighbors, that nothing but police
court fine will cause them to mend their
ways. There is hardly square in some
parts OF the city where this complaint
cannot be justly preferred against some
Of the tenants.
Apart from the uDtidiness of the thing,
the practice of throwing dirt OF all sorts
upon the sidewalk or the parking, whence
the. wind may blow it into neighbor' 8
yard or upon his doorstep, mas tendency
10 imperil health. Almost every police
man can tell story of this sort OF dirt
on parts of his beat, but there are few
who carry the attempt to remedy the Dui-
sance beyond mid admonition now and
then, the only effect of which is tempor-
airy cessation of the evil.
Every man ought TO have some considera-
tim for bis neighbor's comfort, even though
he have none for his own. II his own
good sense or good breeding does not teach
him this, more drastic lesson is quite in
order.

WHERE THE TIMES STANDS,

The Times acknowledges the receipt,
yesterday, of the following communication:
Editor Times: Do you intend TO fight
the whole bond bin or only that part relating
20 the extension and Improvement of streets
outside the city proper? | should be much
surprised TO find that the peoples paper
was obstructing a better sewerage sys-
TEN, something that Washington has long
needed. Please state your position more
clearly. TAXPAYER.
In the first place, The Times is not
fighting anything as much as it is
endeavoring TO obtain an expression of
opinion on question vitally concerning
the great body of citizens who sign them
selves as above.
In the second place, The Times does not
oppose q better sewerage system for
washington. 1t has grave doubts, how
cierlng this project, under the bond bin
before the last Congress, is the most eco
the proper disposal of the sewage carries
with 1t the necessity of extending or
improving of streets outside the city
proper.
In the third place, The Times does
utterly condemn the S3,50O,00O rider to
the sewer bond bill providing for the
extension and improvement of streets
outside the city limits. A part of this
amount would probably be expended on
property within the city limits, but there
can be no doubt that the great bulk
Of it would go toward increasing the
value of property held by such Individuals
as compose. for instance. the Chevy Chase
Land Company.
But whatever The Times thinks, it
desires above all to have a free and
full EXPRESSION Of the wishes of the people
of Washington and Will, in a few days,
provide them with q convenient means to
that end.

QUESTIONS FOR TAXPAYERS.

Do you think that, should a bond bill
pass, any of the money realized
from the sale of these bO nds should
be expended in improving private
real estate holdings out side the city
proper and remote from the great
body of taxpayers?

NO AN GRINDERS.

| were left at home 10y their constituents, and
| It is not Improbable that OF the remaining
seven not all Will he placed there again. To
| all intents and purposes. therefore, new
| committee will bc constituted AMI in the
selection of, its members two essentials
ought 70 be taken into consideration.
In the first place, they ought TO be
workers. nruues and men who simply pose
asscsRmittesmen have no business on the
District committee. There is work to bc
done there and plenty of it, and it is OF
TIE sort that requires patience and perse-
verance and application TO do it properly.
In its keeping are, in a large mcasu the
material interests of a popula ton OF a
quarter OF a million souls. and the municipal
affairs OF the national capital, combina
tiou of facts which demands the closest at
tention and best thought of those charged
with legislatiug for them. There has
been too much Of letting few men do all
or the greater part of the work. and who
ever may be the speaker will greatly favor
the people of the District by not putting
such on the committee.
The next point TO be regarded in select
ing the members. is the keeping aloof Of
men who either have axes to grind. or are
looking for them. There has been a good
Heal OF sub rosa scandal in this respect.
Ithas been an open secret that some indi-
viduals. who found themselves members
of the District committee, made a pretty
good thing of At, in direct or indirect
way. They found their way into all sorts
of jobs and deals and their bank accounts
havcBeen swrTled far more by extras" than
by their salaries. There are iIHumerable
opportunities for members of this commit
tee TO make n dollar if they choose to
listen TO proposals Of that chara Cter, or,
what is still worse. seek the opportunities.
Ali such should bc rcligiously excluded from
the committee.
Tire House committee on the District of
Columbia should be made UP of clean
handed. hard working business men and
uOHe other.

PENALTY FOR TRAIN wREcKING


The freqlen. recurrence OF train wreck
ing calls for the application of an at
least partially effective remedy. 1t is
not possible, OF course. to prevent all
crime, even BY the severest penalties; If
it were. there would DC no more murders.
But il is practicable to impose punishments
which VIII be deterrent in the highest
possible degree. aud such ought to be
mcted out 10 the train wrecker.
A train wreckcr is worse than an as
sassin. 'N1nther from motives of re-
venge or robbery, the latter is sa tisfied
with one victim at time. Not so the
%rccker. To carry out his fell purpose
he counts not the cost of human life.
Whether one person be sacrificed, or ten
or a hundred, is all the same to him.. He
is ficnd incarnatc. whose annihilation
cannot be accomplished too quickly. The
ordinary processes Of law, with all their
delays, seem altogether inadequate in his
ease, l-sa~ -
There are no special statutes in

the matter of train wrecking. Some of
them. punish burglary and arson and
felUnious assaults upon women with death,
but the train wrecker who deliberately
sends any number OF human beings to their
death and crirplcs many more, gets off
with a term OF Imprisonment. This is
wrong. Every State should enact
special statute. covering this crime and
Congress ought 10 pass such law also.
