AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN
A Shooting ARRAY That Night Have Re
suited in Murder:
Vandalism mt the Volta Institute-The
Site Of the New High School
Not Determined.

There was considerable excitement yes
terday afternoon on Herring HILL and
by chance only q murder was averted,
through no fault, however. on the part Of
the individual seeking blood. The trouble
occurred between Clinton McDaniels and
his brother-in-law. Charles Dorsey. a nine
teen-year-old boy. Both are colored, and
there has been bad blood between them for
some time. The Dorseys live at 1919 2Sth
street. and there is where the trouble
started. The two had an argument In the
afternoon. in which Dorsey was worsted
physically. and he ran into his home and
got his fathers revolver, which has a 40
caliber. Flourshing this he chased after
MCDANIEL firing one shot at him. Nc
Daniel took refuge In the house Of Mary
Thomas. who kept young Dorsey out. The
latter was mad. however and paraded
around looking for his brother-in-iaw until
re heard that the police were coming
when he ran, throwing the pistol away in
Els effort to escape. He was corraled by
Policemen Conlon and Common on the bank
OF ROCK creek near Dumbarton avenue
and taken to the station. While in custody
he declared that he would kill Mcdaniel
He was held on charges Of assault with
intent to kill and also with carrying con-
cealed weapons. The revolver was found
by the police, fully loaded with the cxcep-
ton Of one chamber.
Vandalism at Volta Institute.
Considerable complaint has been made
over the action Of vandals at the Volta In
stitute. the pretty bufr-colored building at
the northeast corner OF 35th and @ streets,
which was erected by Professor Graham
Bell a few years ago for the diffusion Of
knowledge for the deaf and dumb. The
building has been SCARED and disflgured in
a number Of places, while the broad flight
OF steps leading to the front entrance is
reguiariy pre-empted Of evenings by loving
couples. The police have been requested TO
assist In breaking up the practice.
Death Of Mrs. Dyer.
Mrs. Elizabeth Dyer. the widow Of
Elijah Dyer, well-known resident.
died Wednesday evening at an advanced
age. For some years she had been making

A. Dix Of 3405 street. at whose residence
her death occurred. The funeral was held
this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the
residence OF Mr.. Dix. and was attended by
a number OF relatives and friends OF the
deceased
Public Schools Closed.
The public school year in this section of
the city has practically closed. In the
graded schools Wednesday the exercises
were simple, and in a good many in
stances no exercises were held at ALL The
Western High School practically closed
Tuesday afternoon, when exercises were
held in the large lecture room on the top
floor. There were some recitations and
solos rendered by the students, and the
address Of the day was delivered by Rev.
Mr. Smith Of Washington.
Several Of the students OF the Western
have covered themselves with glory.
Jesse Wilson. the son Of School Trus-
tunate winner of the Columbian University
scholarship, having made the best show
ing. Miss Josephine Davis has been
awarded a scholarship in the Women's
College of Baltimore. her standing being
the best among the girls. Miss Edna
Wescott also secures a scholarship at the
same college, which was offered TO the
scholar of the Methodist Sunday school
making the best average during the year.
The site OF the new Western High
School building has not yet been de-
cided upon. Mr.. Jesse II. Wilson OF the
board of school trustees, representing this
division, has been requested by the Com
missioners to select an area in which a
suitable building could be erected, SO that
advertisements could be inserted TO secure
land for the purpose. Mr.. Wilson has not
as yet had time TO devote to the matter,
but without a doubt he will recommend a
central area. The present building is
situated a convenient location.
there is hardly any likelihood of tearing
calls for a new building, and by using the
Curtis building for the site Georgetown
would virtually be cheated out of
school building. Whatever site may be
| recommended, 1t will most likely be east
| of 32d street.

Politics in the Public Schools.

The Atlantic Monthly for July pub
fishes the frank confessions of half
dozen successful superintendent and
teachers in the public schools in the
West, and the writers make very start
ling revelations in the most matter-of-
fact way regarding the evil of political
influences on school management.
One teacher, who is now city superin-
tendent, writes:-
In several cities in which | have
taught, the superintendent of schools has
made no pretension to be a schoolman;
he is a politician, elected sometimes by
the people, sometimes by the common
council, with practically no educational
duties. The salary is few hundred dol
lars, enough to piece out the income of
some decayed local politician.
My experience as a superintendent of
schools shows that, under present condi-
lions, the superintendent is compelled to
be politician. To what amount of
Misunderstanding and hobnobbing he shall
submit depends on his tastes and his
skill. The point is that certain amount
OF it is necessary to keep his place and to
secure an opportunity to work. l have
succeeded fairly we'll in keeping in touch
with the ruling elements in the manage
ment OF the schools, but there never has
been day when would not gladly
have been rid of work required to do
this. Relief from such necessity would
have allowed more time for study, and
made me man OF much greater profess
sional value"
A woman's expe! fence is as follows:
During the period Of my preliminary
service as teacher in the pubic schools,
my name was reported for permanent
place, and was 'on the slate when it left
the teachers committee. Of course, nv
father was a voter with the party in
power. But the teacher who was num-
Der five on the list had kinsman on the
board, who saw unless she was appoint
ed during his term she might never be.
One of the trustees, therefore, brought in
charge of cruelty to a boy against me,
and, without an investigation, my name
was taken off and number five was elect
ed. To have any one believe that
pulled boys ears till he could not put
his head on pillow hurt me deeply. |
began an investigation on my own
account, and l discovered that number
five's sister was the guilty teacher. The
boys father appeared before the board
and explained. The teacher was not
even censured but had lost the perma-
nent position"

Another Ohio President?

oSHSl al Odl uSlu usCu " dCCOuHl
for the great prominence of Ohio
men in public life in his time by say
ing that on the soil of Ohio met and
mingled the two best strains of
American blood, the Virginian strain
and the New England strain. All
signs in the political sky now point
to the election of Mckinley in No
vember, and we may well ask our
selves, What sort of a president is
this fifth son of Ohio, in the list of
twenty-four occupants of the White
House, likely to make? The question
is not an enigma. The man has been
eighteen years in national politics,
and for much of the time conspicu-
Gus figure; his character is an open
book, and his convictions on public
issues are on record and may be read
by all men. We may expect from
him a conservative, pure administra.
ton. believe that it will be sturdi-
ly American in its policy, for McKin-
ley comes from our great mid-conti-
mental plain and is not, like many
men who live upon the Atlantic rim
OF the country, largely influenced by
European thought and example. Its
dominant ideas will be protection
and sound money. Mckinley will
unquestionably use the influence of
his position TO restore to our tariff
statutes the principle of ample, scien-
tihc and symmetrical protective
duties. He will oppose all efforts to
detach the money of the country
from the present standard in use by
all the great civilized, commercial
nations OF the world, whether by the
issue of irredeemable paper or by
giving to an unlimited quantity of
silver legislative fiat value greater
than its actual value as a metal. He
will not, | am confident, aim to make
one-man power of the administra-
ton. Having appointed strong
cabinet, made up of representative
men of his party, he will distribute
the duties and responsibilities OF
government among them, as con-
templated by the Constitution, and
hold each minister accountable for
the work of his own department. He
will be accessible to all men who
have legitimate business with the
chief magistrate, and he will carry to
the highest station in the land the
courtesy and dignity which he has
unfailingly displayed as a congress-
man and governor. He will be a
harmonizer for his party, for he has
none of the domineeeing temper and
stubborn egotism that breed politi.
cal strife and create personal antag'
onisms. Among the early presidents
his prototype will be Madison and
he will most resemble Hayes among
our later presidents. He comes from
the great sturdy, independent, mora
and earnest American middle class
that forms the solid basis of our
whole political and social tabric,-

International Arbitration.

The brief stay which Mr.. Hodgson
Pratt has made in this country has left
the impression that he has done great
work in devoting his time and his fortune
to the promotion of international arbi-
tration. A man who constantly puts
his cause before himself, and who sees, as
our own Garrison did, that great cause
can only be promoted by indefatigable
exertion, he has rallied the forces of the
civilized world in favor of peace. With
out commission from any human au.
thority, with strong feeling in his own
heart that this work must be done, he
has, in quiet way, during the last fifteen
years brought together among the diff
ierent nations of Europe the persons who
have felt that our civilization, if it was
to be worthy of the name, must provide
ways by which the differences between
nations can be settled by peaceful means.
He is an instance of what a single man
with great purpose in his mind and
heart can accomplish by persistent effort
in one direction. His visit to this coun-
try has done much to advance interna-
tional arbitration, and his addresses
have made it easier for Americans and
Englishmen to think and to feel together
on the questions which they have in
common. He has rendered a great SER
vice to the interests of both countries

and who made his own reputation
in congress as a champion OF gold,
has turned completely around. He
is now in Chicago walking arm in
arm with the friends Of Teller, Bland,
Boies, etc. The moment he reached
Chicago he was mentioned for tenn
porary chairman and afterwards for
vice president, but he turned his back
to all offers OF Office. He admits that
he has killed himself politically in
Massachusetts and just why he has
changed from yellow to white is
not quite clear.

The Shakers of Mount Lebanon, COM
munity of simple, honest, God-tearing
men and women, have prepared the
Shaker Digestive Cordial for many years,
and it is always the same, simple, hon
est, curative medicine that has helped to
make the Shakers the healthy, long-lived
people that they are. The Shakers never
have indigestion. This is partly owing
to their simple mode of lie, partly to the
wonderful properties of Shaker Digestive
Cordial. Indigestion is caused by the
stomach glands not supplying enough
digestivejuie. Shaker Digestive Cordial
supplies what's wanting. Shaker Dges-
tive Cordial invigorates the stomach and
all its glands so that after awhile they
don't need help. AS evidence of the hon
esty of Shaker Digestive Cordial, the
formula is printed on every bottle. Sold

bottle.

PROFITABLE PUBLICITY.
Summer Advertising


By NATHANIEL c. FOWLER, JR., Doctor Of
Publicity.
Folks eat in summer.
Folks wear clothes in summer.
Folks sit down in summer, and they
walk, and they break dishes, and they
use up in summer as much as they use up
in winter.
If folks eat in summer, they must have
something to eat, and if they have some
thing to eat, and so long as there is
prejudice against stealing, they must buy
that something.
If folks wear clothes in summer, they
must wear out those clothes, and if they
wear them out, they must go naked, or
have more clothes, and if they have more
clothes, they must buy those clothes.
If folks buy things in summer, because
they have to, and if stores must be kept
open, is there any reason why stores
should't advertise when folks eat things,
wear things, wear out things, and buy
things?
Perhaps it is a coincidence, but the man
who does the most business in the Win
ter, and in the spring, fall and summer,
and the man who makes the most money
in the long run, is the man who adver-
tises in all four of the four seasons,
and thinks more of increasing his adver-
Using than he does ofcutting it.
In the winter it generally cold enough
for activity, and there are theatre par
ties, and card parties, and entertainments
of every sort.
Folks read in winter, out they do other
things first.
Folks read in summer, and do the other
things afterwards, because it is easier to
read than it is to perspire, and they read
everything from the country newspaper
to the circus poster.
Women will read advertisements in the
summer when they will not read them in
the winter. They think they haven't
time in the winter, because they have
something else to do.
Summer advertising may pay better
than winter advertising.
