SPLENDID WORK.
Remn rkablc Exhibition of the Nam
ual Training School Pupils.

Remarkable Exhibition of the Nam
ual Training School Pupils.
The annual exhibition Of the seventh and
eighth divisions Of the Manual Training
Schools Of the District Of Columbia. at the
Miller School building, No. 623 H street
northwest, is an extremely creditable one.
All the work displayed showed remark
able development on the part Of the pupils,
under the direction of the superintendent,
Mr.. ]. H. Hill, but those Of the metal de-
partment, of which Mr.. J. d. Baltimore
has charge with Mr.. Samuel Keys as his
assistant, and carving, Mr.. William Rich
ardson, teacher, were the most interesting
to the many friends and relatives of the
scholars who called to inspect the handi-
work Of the latter.
In the carving class J. H. Catlett has
been able to present some remarkably
Skillful reproductions OF works of art
which are familiar to the people Of Wash
ington, principal of which Is the statue of
Gen. Hancock, at the intersection of Penn
sylyania avenue and 7th street. Mr.. Cat
lett has also carved miniature reproduc-
lions of the published portraits of Gov.
Morton. Senator d. B. Hill, Speaker Reed
and Representative Crisp, and 1t Is prob
able that specimens Of his work may be
sent to the Tennessee exposition Among
the novelties to be seen in the line of cary
ing Is a cup, composed of 145 pieces and
comprising several V0fletleS OF WOOQ.
A stationary steam engine, by Daniel
Brooks, who has been awarded the DIR.
Wilder gold medal for general proficiency,
and Samuel Bolden. who is classed as. next
to Mr. Brooks, the best scholar in the
school. is almost constantly surrounded by
visitors, and 1t Is sometimes with difficulty
that the engineer can keep the people far
enough away to allow him to operate it.
Though only LAP nominal horse power it
can run large turning lathe and dyna-
mo. the latter also constructed by Mr..
Bolden. and which supplies the electricity
for five lamps of sixteen-candle power
each. A special feature of the engine, an
idea Of the builders, is that the steam
chest has glass instead of metal front,
the advantage of which is that the motion
OF the valve is at all times visible when the
engine is in operation
There is also a large variety of metal
work of all kinds. such as bolts, taps, dies,
tools OF all kinds. ETC., all constructed In
such a manner to disarm criticism.
There are also many other things besides
those named which are well worthy of in
spection. The exhibition closes today al
noon.

The Yankees Wide Range of Work.

Prof. n. S. Shalcr IN North American Review
The combined effects of a varied relation
to the sea, and the yet more diversified in
fluences CT a manufacturing industry which
concerned wider range of work than had
ever been undertaken in any other country
of like area, in time gave 10 the charac-
teristic New Englander some peculiar quail
tiles or habits of mind He became as he
is now, of all the world the aptest man to
discover in any situation some measure of
advantage which might be turned to profit
able account. He learned the precious les
son that In every place there is something
which If well done will pay for the doing
The impress of this way of looking at the
world may to the observant traveller be
seen IN every part of the area which has
been subject to New England Influences
Within this part OF the country we find
the most complete subdivision of Industries
which exists i'm any part of the world. In
most cases these employments have taken
root because of some loo al advantage in the
way of access to peculiar natural stores
or to certain lines of transportation. In
other instances they have been founded by
some Discerning person. who, looking over
the fields of employment, has seen that his
place was fit for some pursuit which had
not been essayed in his neighborhood, or
was perhaps altogether novel Thus, to
note but few of these specialized occupa-
tions we find that the Attleboros are Civ
ing TO making Jewelry, Leicester 10 the
manufacture of card clothing" that is. to
hook covered leather which is used for
carding wool; the region about Gardner to
the making of chairs. At least fifty towns
could be cited as the seats of such special
callings, the peculiar conditions being due
to the development of an active-minded
people compelled to look beyond the soil or
the resources which lay beneath it for the
basis of their fortunes, indeed we may
say, of their existence. Such eager and
efficient application of wit and work to the
possibilities Of a situation has no parallel
In the old world, and is unequaled In this
country Of expedents; ii is popularity of
the New England conditions; 1t can be ac-
counted for by the circumstances in which
the people were placed. 1t is. in q word
the effect Of environment

District Attorney Birney has nolle pressed
the charge of false pretenses preferred by
Addie Sullivan against Edwin Il. Osbaldes-
ton. This action was taken, il is under

evidence against the accused. This is the
case in which the police authorities claim

HERO OF THE TEA PARTY.
Chicago Citlzens Trying to Find q
Grave in Lincoln Park.

Chicago Citizens Trying to Find n
Grave in Lincoln Park.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Father David Kennison, a veteran Of the
revolution and of the war of 1912, as we'll
as the last survivor of the famous Boston
tea party" lies buried somewhere within
the confines Of Lincoln Park. Just where
his honored bones rest is matter of con-
troversy, and the united efforts Of the His
tortcal Society, the Sons of the American
Revolution, Park Superintendent Alexan-
der, ex-Superintendent of the Chicago City
Cemetery Joseph Ernst and sundry gray
haired pioneers Of the city who attended
his funeral in 1882 have been enlisted to
locate the spot
The two associations named are DESTROYS
of erecting monument to his memory
that will serve both as lasting mark for
his grave and remind future generations of
the stirring scenes in which he took a
prominent part. They intend first to es-
tahlish the location of his last resting
place and then to mark the same with a
granite block until such time they can
replace 1T with bronze figure of the vete-
ran in his continental uniform, sitting on
a chest of tea.
Yesterday afternoon committee from the
two assoo.a tons and others visited the
park to locate the grave Among them
were: H. S. Boutelle, J. L. Lombard, F. H.
Winston. G. H. Fergus. John Fergus. F.
Jones. J. N. Armstrong, H. c. Kelly. w. l..
Beckwith, J. H. Ernst, E. G. Mason, H. c.
Alexander and H. johnson.
The delegation first went to clump of
trees planted In circle about fifty feet
from Clark street near ITS Junction with La
Sale avenue Here the Kenndson grave
was located over year ago by several old
residents who attended the funeral in 1852,
and the Sons Of the Revolution marked
the spot with an iron cross bearing a fig
ure Of a continental soldier. The cross
stood there about three weeks. when 1t
was stolen and probably sold for old iron.
Ex-Aldernan Joseph H. Ernst, however,
was positive that the Kennison grave was
located about ninety feet from Clark street
and adjoining the north line of the ceme-
terry when the line fence was directly op-
posite Menominee street. He was armed
with diagram of that part of the grounds
drawn from memory, assisted by old
memoranda. George H. Fergus and Capt.
w. L. Beckwith are just as positive, on the
other hand, that the old revolutioner was
buried on the site originally marked.
