PRESIDENTIAL GENEROSITY.

The request of President Cleveland that
be be pernieed to defray the burial ex-
penses Of the late Secretary Gresham is
worthy OF public congratulation. II is

The Times is somewhat proud to be able

scores of features of great interest and value.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Great Interest Manifested in the
Souvenir Edition.
WORDS OF WARM APPRECIATION
Everybody Connected with the
Schools Is Enthusiastic Over the
Forthcoming Special Edition of The
Times-The Prizes for High School
Pupfls-Trustee Wilson's Letter.

When The Times undertook special edi-
ests of the public schools of the District,
it knew it could count on the willing CO.
operation of the executive officials and the
teachers, whose interest in the welfare
of the youth committed to their intelli-
gent care has never been of mere per-
functory character, and who have always
been willing to do all in their power to
make the school system better understood,
to the end that it might reach the highest
stage of development.
But, even with this knowledge, The Times
was not prepared for the manifest enthusi-
asm with which the announcement of its
intention has been received.
The Hon. John W. Ross, whom everybody
connected withsthe schools lovingly speaks
of as 'ours school Commissioner, at
once stamped tie project with his approval,
as did the members of the Board of School
Trustees, Superintendent Powell, Super
iutendent Cook, and the supervising and
High School principals.
From scores 5of teachers letters of con-
graduation, approval and encouragement
have come, aud every facility to make the
edition acctirate and complete has been
L
IGs3L
1t was quickly seen that such an edition
could not fan to result in much benefit to
| the schools, by making them more widely
known, more thoroughly appreciated, and
more justly, if not more generously, treated
| 1t was seen, too, that great good would
| come from familiarizing the parents and
| guardians of pupils with the work of the
| schools, for even these parents and guard
| ians have little idea of the far-reaching
results accomplished toward the fitting
| of our youth for the active duties of life,
and above all for that high type Of true
| citizenship on which rests the future glory
| of our country.
AS the president of the board of school
| trustees Mr.. J. w. Whelpley, in his letter
published few days ago, remarked: "Our
| own citizens do not fully realize the great
advance which has taken place in the past
| five or six years in the educational char
aeter and facilities afforded by our city,"
| 1t is certainly fact that the members OF
the Congress of the United States, which
| is Washington's board of aldermen, have
not this realization, nor have they seemed,
| Judging by the penny wise policy of the
| past to fully appreciate the requirements

Our Pets Win Another Game From the
 Little Rock Ball Tossers.

As is evidenced by the games of yesterday and of the day before the Little Rock base ball team must be strengthened before it can defeat the Nowlands, of this city. They put up q pretty game, but invariably fall behind our pet" The game yester- day afternoon was splendid one and deserved better patronage at the hands of our people. The score stood II to- s in favor of the Nowlands. Welchsand Murphy were the battery for the Nowlands, and Slagle and Hartmand for Little Rock.

A WOMAN KILLED
On the Oracle Plantation. Below this City
 Last Sunday,

Yesterday Constable Il. k. Smith, of Bogy township, brought to this city and placed in the county jail here a negro man named Alfred Burks, charged with murder. The crime with which Burks is charged, is the killing of a colored woman named Fanme Young, on the Oracle planta- tion, below this city, last Sunday morning. The woman was shot through the left breast and died almost instantly. Burks claims that the shooting was accidental, that he was fooling with the pistol when it was discharged with fatal results, as above stated. He waived a prelim- mary examination and was commit ted to jail to await the action of the next grand jury.
 1t is not believed that Burks' claim of accidental shooting will be sus- tained by the testimony when the case is examined.

Jim and Will Jones, Who Recently Robbed
 E. Cogb"l, Arrested In Texas,

Gogbill, of Lincoln coun- ty, of $1,6li, about week ago, had been arrested and were now in jail at LonGview.
 Chief Stewart telegraphed Sheriff Howard to know if the men had any money on their persons when arrest ed, and he replied that they had not, but that they were undoubtedly the men wanted, as the descriptions given by the Pine Bluff officials suits them exactly. The Sheriff also tel graphed that he had written to Chief Stewart, giving a description of his prisoners and the particulars of their arrest. As soon as this letter is re- ceived Chief Stewart will go Long view after he men.

Residence Rnrned.

This morning at 3:30 o'clock the fire department was called out by the burning of the residence on the southwest corner of Fifth avenue and Georgia street. The fire had gained considerable headway before the alarm reached the fire depart ment. However, our fire laddies re- sponded promptly and succeeded in putting out the fire before the entire building was consumed, and prevent ed the adjacent houses from burning The residence was occupied by Mir. G. H. King. He thinks that a lamp which he usually left burning at night exploded and caused the fire. He was awakened by the firing of a pis- tol, and succeeded in making his way out of the room with difficulty, as it was filled with smoke. His furniture and household goods, he says, were worth $700, and were insured with the Bell & Vernon agency for $400.
 The residence was owned by Mrs. Anna Richardson, and was valued at about $1 ,000.

HUNTING ON THESE GROUNDS

This article is written without prejudice towards Dr. Robertson, who, if he becomes familiar with the facts, will doubtless, perform his full duty in the premises.
 1t is his duty to act at once in un- earthing the truth in this matter; and it is the duty, also, of the State Charitable Board to take immediate eognizanee of this piece of informa- ton.
 If it is true, prompt dismissaIs and legal punishment should be had.
 The people interviewed above, so far as the Sunday Tribune is able 10 ascertain, are highly reputable.
 This paper learns that MT. Wiley, who lives on Tenth, near the Iron Mountain track, will swear to the above facts; and that the above pco- pie are prepared to go on the witness stand if called to do so. They do not seek notoriety, but in a case so az gravating they are willing to forcgo personal delicacy.
