In Defense of the Force School.

In Defense of the Force School.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
A bill has been introduced and passed by
the Senate for the removal of the Force
School, and the disposal of the property oc-
cupied by it. This bill was introduced by
Senator Lodge. Let me mention that Sem
ator Lodges residence was erected within
a short distance of the school only a few
years ago, and, therefore, his Improvement
was made with full knowledge of the
nuisance Of its pupils. The school in
question is comparatively new, having been
erected in 1879, and 1t has for long time
been considered the cream of our schools.
The building is full, and all its sanitary ar
rangementS are in excellent condition, and
therefore. its destruction and re-establish-
ment on some other site will merely be an
expenditure for the qualification of the de-
sires Of few property holders in the vicn-
ity. If our school is to be considered a
nuisance" 1t will be as much so in its
new home as in its present. Then, again,
Its removal will materially Inconvenience
its pupils. / consider that the rights of
GOO children in attendance should at least
balance those of a half dozen capitalists.
/ think that the Force School pupils will
agree with me in the above sentiments and
we therefore call upon our patrons to pro-
tect our interests in the House, and, if their
efforts fail there. to bring their influence to
bear upon the President, hoping that his
veto power, so effectively used on previous
occasions, will be exhibited in our favor,

CORNELL EASILY BEATEN.
The Boys From Ithaca Couldn't Hit
MahOney's Curves.

The nine repl esenting Cornell University
came to Washington yesterday to try con-
illusions with the Georgetown team, and if
conclusions are to be relied upon the Uni
versity Of Virginia, which just manag ed to
beat Cornell-6 to 5-will not be in it with the
blue and gray the latter part of this week.
Cornell was showed under yesterday and
seemed way out of her class. Fielding errors
and only four hits off Mahoney were why
the score was 10 to 1. The Georgetown play
ers are charged with six errors, Reardon
especially at short having a day off, with
three to his credit
The only run scored by Cornell was pre-
sented to them by Mahoney, who gave a
base on balls, with the bases full, forcir g
in the tally. But for this the Ithacans
would have been shut out.
Mahoney pitched a magnificent game,
fielding his position well, and sending in
curves like cannon-shots. Little Maloney
caught him in fine shape, and threw to sec
ond with remarkable accuracy. Mccarthy
led in batting, with a double and a home
run. although all the men batted well just

While the girl was writing she was
called to supper but excused herself on
the plea of indisposition. She with
drew to her bedroom, but had been
there only short time when her par.
ents were alarmed by a noise which
they thought was occasioned by dogs
on the outside. Mr.. A. e. Watkins,
Dolly's stepfather, started out to inves-
tigate, when he discovered that the dis
turbance came from Dolly's room. The
door leading to it was slightly ajar, and
grOans proceeded from the inside. Mr..
Watkins stepped into the room, and
found the girl lying upon the floor, face
down. He raised her upon the bed,
where she expired in a few moments.
This is all that is absolutely known
concerning the affair at this time and
the corOner's Jury which was immedi-
ately summoned found that Dolly Wat
kins came to her death by some cause
unknown to them. There is, however,
more to the case, and time may develop
some startling truths. There are many
rumors afloat, and the people of Mid.

dent affords a sad warning to young
girls which they should not soon forget.
