THE MINER SCHOOL.
Action of the Board of Trustees on
Protests Regarding It's Use.

Action of the Board of Trustees on
Protests Regarding It's Use.
Protests of residents in the vicinity of
the Miner building on 18th street near @
street, against the occupancy of that build
ing by the colored pupils from the Stevens
School. corner Of 21st and X streets, were
considered at a special meeting of the
board of school trustees, which was held
yesterday afternoon. The necessity for
using this building during the three months
that the work of Improvement was in
progress on the Stevens buleing was cx-
planned by President Whelpley. The Miner
building was rendered by the trustees of the
Miner fund to the trustees free of cost, and
the board had gone to some expense in pre-
pairing the building for the of the
school. In view of ali the facts the board
decided that the Miner School could be oc-
cup.ed unless some more convenient and
suitable building could be obtained without
expense to the beard of school trustees.
1t was stated by representative of the
trustees of the Miner fund tha: as soon a
tie pupils of the Stevens School left the
building that it was the intention to open
there an Industrial school for colored chill
dren. which, it is said, would be permanent.

An evening paper, writes Walter Besant,
In the Queen, the other day, published a
letter from correspondent giving advice
what to do in case of lightning. 1 read
the advice eagerly, because I am horribly
afraid of lightning. The greatest safety,
he told us-I hope 1 am giving the informa-
tion correctly-is to swing hammocks in
different rooms. They must be suspended
from the wall by silken ropes. Very good,
indeed. 1t is an eminently practical piece
of advice. My own family contains nine
persons, as rule. There are. happily,
more than nine rooms. l shall have ali the
furniture slowed in the garret and rig up
a hammock in every room instead. You
cannot well put more than one hammock
in each room. Think of the beauty and
the convenience of the arrangement, as
well as Its safety. When there is no light
ming about, we shall sit in the hall-where
we shall also take our food; we shall re-
oeive our friends the stairs. When
thunder clouds gather. we shall retire
each to his own hammock and await the
storm in calmness. Houses, in the future
will be built, no doubt, on purpose for the
accommodation of the anti-lightning ham
mock.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
The attention of observant visitors at
Forest Park yesterday afternoon was at

children. They were evidently carrying out
a prearranged program, but it was new
game to the observers. Finally, the mat

tacular Sunday school lesson of the day
he'd made great impression, and for a
long time they delighted themselves in
crouching on 4 hillside to the rear Of the
n erry-go-round and acting the whole story
out. Twelve boys were chosen from the
rest, and these would press grimly up the
hill and thread their way like shadows
among the crowd. casting cross-eyed
glancas at this and that big man. sneak:ng
on all fours behind benches in order to
observe more closely. giving little jumps
and starts of widest terror when they
espied a bicycle or a baby carriage. and
f1rally gliding back again in breathless
silence to their comrades under the hill:
when ten would make great show of
knocking their knees together and chatter
ing their teeth. and falling all in heap,
would wall dolefulIy, "Oh. say, we can't
never lick them"' But Just then the tow

would SO enthuse the doubling Israeites

quite sure that this game was good form
for the Sabbath day. The Bible part was

From the Chicago Mall.
In Mason, Ohio. the organist of the
church, daughter of the richest man in the
county and stoutest pillar of the congrega-
ton, first got bicycle and then got bloom
ers. They were not only bloomers, but they
were red boomers, a striking, insistent,
clarion red.
As soon as those boomers appeared The
other pillars of the church called on he
minister to compel the young woman to
give up the organ or the boomers The
minister was timid man and hesitatei.
The organist and her boomers shouted de-
fiance by walking into the church the next
PRAYER meeting night and sitting down to
the organ. Then the majority of the con-
gregation. though it may have needed pray
ing for got up and went out without wait
ing for the prayers. They may nave been
afraid that those noisy red boomers would
drown out the pastors voice.
According to the latest telegraphc reports
the boomers still hold the church, and the
congregation has seeded and threatened 10
form another church.

COLORED SCHOOL TRUSTEES.
Be coming Various Aspirants - Mr..

Be Oming Various Aspirants Mr..
Bruce May Serve Again.
During the meeting of colored citizens
held at the Vermont Avenue Baptist
Church last night there was put in circula-
ton a petition to the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia asking for the ap-
pointment Of the Rev. George w. Lee as
one of the new members of the board of
school trustees. The people who presented
the petition say that similar ones will be
in a few days placed in all of the churches
for the purpose of reaching all who are
friendly to Rev. Mr.. Lee.
Friends of Mr.. Daniel S. Murray are it
is said, ready to urge his appointment to
the school board.
Friends of ex-senator Bruce say there is
no warrant for the assertion that Mr..
Bruce would decline a reappointment as
school trustee. His position is that he is
not seeking reappointment as an avowed
candidate. He was not a candidate when
originally appointed. the honor having been
conferred upon him without his seeking it.
A friend of Mr.. Bruce said to Star re-
porter today: Mr.. Bruce has at no time
intiInated to any one that he would not
acc ept the honor if again conferred, while
We know he is in no sense a candidate
now any more than he was when first ap
pointed. Yet, knowing him as I do, l do
not hesitate to say that he would not re-
fuse to again serve the public in the Ca
would In the future, as in the past, per-
fern the duties conScientiously, without
fear or favor" Referring to the state
ment that Mr.. Bruce's business interests
1eduire his time and would prevent his
serving. the friend referred to said: He is
no more business man now than when
first appointed. That the schools have suf-
fered because of his occasional absence no
one claims. On the contrary, there was
never a time when the duties in the sew
enth district were SO faithfully and con-
scientiously performed. The duties of trus-
tee, after all, are merely supervisory; the
real work in the schools is done by sal
aried officials, who supposed to give
their entire time to the schools One trus-
tee has announced that he has recently
voluntarily given up the major and most
lucrative portion of his professional prac-
tice in order that he may in the future de-
vote his entire time to the duties of trus-
tee, If reapponted. We don't believe the
public or any patrons of the schools re-
quire any such sacrifice

NEEDS OF BRIGHIWOOD
A Petition Embodying Them Presented to
the Commissioners
A Police Station and n Fire Company
Located Near BrightwOOd Avenue
Particularly Wanted.

The citizens of Brishtwood feel they have
been neglected by the authorities too long,
ard today sent delegation to the Commis
sor ers to lay before them the urgent needs
of that section. The delegation consisted
of w. V. Cox. chairman; DIR. c. G. Stone,
and Edward T. Bates. The delegation pre-
serted a petition from the citizens associa-
tioh urging the Commissioners to embody
in their estimates for the support Of the
District government for the next fiscal
year an appropriation for the building of
police station and the location of fire
company in the vicinity of BriShtwood
avenue. They set forth in their petition
that the population of the section is about
5000 and is rapidly increasing. The near
est regular fire company is No. O. located
en- street between 9th and 10th, in the
city, and the nearest police station is on l
street between 9th and 10th streets, both
about five miles from the section sought to
be protected. Continuing, the petition sets
forth:
In case of a fire occurring at or near
Brightw ood or Takoma it is almost use
less for the fire department of the city
proper to make any effort to save the prop
erty threatened-aS demonstrated by the
recent destructive fire at Takoma, which
destroyed the business portion of that
town, and the fire that destroyed the sta
bles of the Brgntwood Hotel. and the one
that consumed the car stables of the
Brightwood Railroad Company.
1T seems, therefore, that a thoroughly
equipped fire engine should be provided,
and water mains and fire hydrants have
been placed throughout the larger portion
of this section, the equipment of a fire en-
gine is now practicable.
THE value of the property to be protected
as shown by the books of the assessor is
more than sufficient to justify the expense
of installation and maintenance.
1T Is well known that Brightwood ave-
nue. is the principal and most Travelled Of
any of the thoroughfares to and from the
city. 1t is also a popular driveway, and is
much frequented by pedestrians and by
parties who take trips on the electric cars
for recreation and pleasure. 1t is not al
ways that entire order prevails; and al
though the officers on duty IN that vicinity
are active, diligent and efficient, the terri
tory to be covered is so great and the sta
ton where they report for relief so remote
that thieves and other evildoers easily be-
come familiar with the time when no Off
GERS ere in the neghbol hood. and during
which they can ply their nefarious callnSs
without hirdrarce. The location of a po-
lice station would largely overcome these
difficulties, and would also have a great
moral effect and be a most excellent point
of vantage to intercept criminals other
undesirable characters attempting to enter
or leave the city by this direction. The ex-
posed condition of this location we believe
warrants the establishment of a police
station.

THE FIRE ESCAPE LAW.
1t is Causing Some Trouble in tn
Matter of Liquor Licenses.

1t is Causing Some Trouble in the
Matter of Liquor Licenses.
An interesting question has just been
raised by the excise board, which will
probably take legal opinion from the at
torney for the District to answer. The law
of March 9, 1895, amerding the fire escape
law provides:
That it shnll be unlawful to issue IL
cense to the lessee or proprietor Of any
building in the Distric, of Columbia used
as a hotel, factory, manufactory, theater,
tenement house, hall or place of amuse
ment. or other building used for business
for which license is required, unless the
application for such license is accompa-
ried with the certificate of the inspector of
buildings that such building is provided
with fire escapes, standppes. ladders
lights, alarm gongs and descriptive no
tees required by sections one and two
of said act
Recently application was made to the
excise board for a retail liquor license dt
a place on 7th street which had hotel
license, and was generally known as a ho-
tel. The applicant was informed of the
law above recired, which the excise board
construed to apply to any place where 4
liquor license was required. and the Ii
cenSe was not issued until he had complied
fully with the terms of the act.
There is considerable difference of opin-
ion among liquor men as to the applica-
ton of this law. There are in this city a
number of saloons with restaurants at
tached which have been required to take
out a hotel license before serving food to
customers. These places having hotel Ii
censes are known as hotels by the assessor
for the District, and he certifies the list
to the excise board. According to rule
Of the excise board, a hotel is a house
which has twenty-five more sleeping
apartments. The house just required to
put up fire escapes has not that number of
rooms.
1t is believed that the question will he
submitted to the attorney for the district
for legal interpreted ton.
