Mrs. Mary Frost Knocked Down by
d Mounted Policeman

Mrs. Mary Frost Knocked Down BY
d Mounted Policen.sn.
Through the carelesmess of a mounted
policeman, whose Identity could not be
established, Mrs. Mary Frost. fifty years
old. Of No. 902 G street northwest, was
knocked down and seriously injured while
witnessing the parade at the corner Of
Eleventh street aud Pennsylvania avenue.
Mrs. Frost and two other ladies' were
standing in front OF the crowd few feet
from the curbstoue- When the squad OF
mounted policemen came by one Of the
officers shouted at the crowd to nbove back,
aud in another instant gave his horses
bride a jerk, backing the animal against
the spectators The horse struck Mrs
Frost with terrific force and she fell,
striking her head against the curbstoDe.
She Immediately became unconscious
and was removed to Sickle's cigar store.
The policeman continued as though nothing
had happened. The crowd became so en-
ragged that they attempted to organize q
mob and pull the officer from his horse.
DR.. c. H Machinet, who was passing. went
to Mrs. FrOst's assistance. He worked hard
upon the injured woman for about a half
hour and finally restored her to con-
sciousness. Mrs Frost's injuries con-
sisted OF a severe scalp wound and a had
cut on the right arm She is tn ought. also
to have received internal injuries. A car
rage was summoned and she was rem owed
to her home. accompanied by the doctor
and her friends.

could not be made in front OF the judges
stand, owing to the crowd.
The white flies created sensation,
especially one that got his neck crossways
and cleaned out Ihe crowd when the police
failed.
The queers created the most laughter.
AdjutInt W. Il. Larrimore made big
success.
John Gottlieb of Philadelphia, with an
Immense japanese parasol. was one OF the
most noticeable OF the c. E. part OF the
parade.
William Gettenger carried more tonnage
than any man in the parade. The thousand
pounds going up Capitol Hill made rut
in the asphalt.
The cloudy weather prevented a good
many from joining in the parade, but 1t
who turned out.
Letter Carrier Bradley's six-year-old
daug hter, who looked exceedingly pretty
in her white dress, showed herself to be
an expert rider.
Washington is the best bicycle city In
the United States, owing to Its system
OF paved streets, and no city could make
a better display in parade.
DR.. ]. Bartlett Hill. DR.. W. T. Morsell
aud w. c. Allen never forgot tie dignity
of their Position and wore judicial counte-
nances ttrough hoGt the parade.
There were annoying delays on the
south side of Pennsylvania avenue, going
to the Capitol. but the rest of the route
was much better as the crowd was not so
dense.
The threatening weather early in the
evening made the parade little late
but it was immense when it came, extend
ing on both sides of Pennsylvania avenue
from Fifteenth street to the Capitol

FEMININiTY A-WHEEL.

Femininity was there. both in it and out.
A dashing creature in white satin
knickerbockers, with peach like cheeks
and the grace of a danseuse, attracted all
lockers on:
MY, amt she bold!''
''whew, but that girls hummer" :
1.-The brazen thing"
"Ah, there!'
And lik e expressions followed the appear
ance of the Nineteenth century girl" who
as it happens was a man.
After brilliant green and yellow bloom
ers. the eye found a grateful resting place
at the passing of a womanly woman, clad
in gray from her pedal to the top of
her natty hat.
Two girls in Russian garments Of snowy
white were artistic rs we'll as striking in
appearance
A fair little maid OF about eight summers,
clad in soft white muslin. was a type Of
sweet young America.
Aunt Dinah was there, and SO was Min
nehaha, though there was a reasonable
doubt as to the sex Of the latter.
A ballet dancer in pink tights and green
tarletan was distinctly not OF the feminine
gender.
So much for the paraders.
1t is all over now, but it was jubllation
parade while it lasted. even from a social
point OF view.
When all Washin gton began to swarm and
then to hive in solid masses around The
Times office. the society reporters said,
one to the other:
lone feature of this parade is going to
be immortalized in the woman's page. and
to do Justice to the dresses Of the wheel
women we must go outside and mix in the
crowd"-which they did.
One Npf The pretticst Costumes of the
parade was a girl in star and stripe draper
les OF Liberty, and The funniest u deDiciously
grotesque sable belle In gufgeons frock und
flowers, who seemed TO lake mnalloyed de-
light in faBipx Off Der wheel. s-a4@
The prizes for appearance were divided
between Miss Herbert. Mis Rcinhavd and
MIS- Adau6.

PICKPOCKETs ON A STEAMER.
Police Notified of Operations on the
Manchester.

A telephone message was received at
police headquarters about O'Clock yes
terday afternoon from Lieut.. Smith, of the
Alexandria police force, stating that pick
pockets had raide d the steamer Macalester
during her return trip from Mount Vernon
1t stated that If <he Washington de-
tectives wouli meet tne steamer upon her
arrival here they might capture some pro
fessiOnal knucks who had been working
tie crowds on the boat.
A few minutes later another message
came to headquarters from Commodore
Sutton, i'll charge OF the police steamer
Blackburn, giving the same information
and stating tnat several passengers had had
their pockets picked. 1t was added that
the Blackburn would hold up the steamer
Manchester, as it were, and keep her in
midstream until the detectives arrived at
the wharf.
Detectives Carter and Gallaher were
sent in hurry to the pier, but when they
arrived the Manchester had discharged her
load OF passengers and started on the re-
turn trip. These detectives We're Informed
by the wharf policeman that the report
was false one and no one had been robbed.
The matter Will be further Investigated.

TEACHERs AND TEACHING

The recent convention of the National
Educational Association at Buffalo can
not fail to be productive OF important re-
suits, SO far as the Improvement Of gen
eral methods and individual conduct can be
promoted by that interchange of views
| and opinions, which is one of the leading
features of such gathering. The effect
iveneSs of the teacher depends, of course,
far more upon personal aptitude than fol-
lowing any certain system OF peda gogy and
| it is essential, therefore, that in the Sc
lection of instructors in schools, partic-
ularly in the pubic schools, great care
| should be exercised To secure as many as
| of teachers made
A considerable amount of technical train
ing is necessary. OF course, TO qualify
teachers for ti.eir work. This and the
practical routine of teaching they get in
the normal schools. But above and beyond
these is tie intuitive perception OF the
needs aud capacities, not only of the whole
school, but OF each particular pupil in it.
and that is the heaven-bestowcd gift OF
the true teacher. Naturally but 4 small
proportion OF thuse engaged in the work
| can possess these attributes. but the train
ing OF men and women for the work OF
teaching ought TO come Us uear as possible
| to natures standard.
In Chicago newspaper recently took
the trouble to inquire into the qualifications
of the teachers enga ged IN the public schools.
1t obtained its information from the prin-
cipals, with the result that 13 per cent
of these employed ought to be summanly
discharged as utterly unfit. A very much
larger percentage, OF course, failed to
meet the highest standards and altogether
most unsatisfactory showing was made.
All this is very discouragiDg. of course and
the sufferers are the children who receive
| their instruction from such instructors.
The reproach for having teachers Of this
kind in the schools, however. falls upon
the boards Of trustees, who employ them
and should apply tests sufficiently severe
to exclude iBcompctents, and in the sec
ond line, upon those who appoint the
trustees, for frequently the latter are ut
terly disqualified for Judging correctly the
fitness or unfitness OF an applicant.
The work OF teaching is SO serious be-
cause OF it's ultimate effect upon the pupil
that those who wish to engage in it can
not prepare themselves too carefully for
the task, and the authorities having the
direction and supervision of the schools
cannot be too circr in the selec-
ton of the teachers.
