pany To meet a financial emergency the
amendment Of its charter furnished con-
yenient and effective method OF securing it.
The people of lexington, as principal
patrons OF the line, have a right to insist
upon an amendment of the charter, IL it ls
needed, that will authorize empower and
compel the lexington Company TO provide
them more speedy transit To and from
Washington. Thus far nothing has been
done, either by the Commissioners or the
company, To urge the passage OF the bill,
nor is it believed the company is anXiou
10 change its motive power. To supply
this lack of interest, the North Capitol ana
lexington Citizens Associations have taken
up tbe question, and, in addition to per
sonal solicitation, has forwarded 10 Con
gress petitions bearing thousands of sigma
lures, asking for relief TIE principal
points demanded are that not more than
fifteen months he granted the company
in which to substitute rapid transit for
the horse power now used, and that cars
be run without change or transfer from
Fifteenth and & streets mort Invest to

As once large property-owner in Eek
ington, and as a mark of gratitude for The
fortune il has given him, Commissioner
Truesderl should feel duty bound to remain
in Washington until the bill passes Con-
gress.

cause claims for damageS blythe dozen.
This defect in the sidewalks is nothing
new by any means. The attention OF the
Commissioners has been called TO it many
times, but it seems as if the powers that
be care nothing for the common people that
have TO travel on foot; their chief solici-
tude is to make locoir otion pleasant and
agreeable for those that ride about in car
riagcs. II tile triEmvirate could spare a
few moments from the contemplation of
street extension and boud schemes and give
them 10 the subject OF sidewalks it would
perhaps not take them a great while to
come TO the conclusion that orders ought
TO be issued looking to the repairs of the
sidewalks. "A stitch in time saves nine"
and little repairing done now may save
the District taxpayers the paying of some
big claim for damages sustained.

seems Il very sweeping statement, but it is
not an iIl-cOnsidered one. There is no

The extreme of free trade or the radical
policy OF projection are beth injurious
and equally unbusincssIike. Our experience
Of the last seven years has demonstrated
that fact to the detriment of business in
terests, and while a few industries may
still demand protection, trade generally
prefers necessary tariff judiciously levied
10 any measure yet enforced.
1t requires nearly a half billion dollars
annually to carry on This government, and
the value OF products imported in 1895,
from which revenue was collected was
$500, III, ,305, while the amount of exports
was $748, ,o1o525. With the Importance of
this vast exchange Of products in view it
seems like recklessness to entrust the regu-

The Public Schools Again.

L" the Editor Of The Evening Star:
MUCH mas been written of late on certain
features OF the practical workings Of our
very excellent Distric school system which.
as a whole. Is undoubtedly of high grade
but there are some points in my Judgment
quite open 20 just criticism For instance
writing words out of school hours as a
punishment Within a week. In one tf
our principal city 81 hools the children wera
seized on one occasion in one of the rooms
with that peculiar nervous condition quite
common and natural to all healthy chill
dren, and sometimes to grown up children
as well, TO laugh at almost nothing and
they could no more resist that impulse than
they could stop brea thing. just who the
laughers We're the good teacher could not
tell Tor all did not indulge. But she could
ard did order. on the principle that the
greater always includes the lesser. the
principle governing Herod's slaughter of
the lnnocents, that all the scholars in her
room should write and bring to her tine
following morning one hundred copies of
the sentence: Laughing at nothing Is is-
norance." equal to 800 words three of them
long words. Some of the children obeyed
little girls. who declares that she was not
among the laughers, expressed it. made
a scribble of it, others brought notes
from their mothers. asking that they re
excused. Surely such an exercise could
not be of any service in the way of i'm
proving the penmanshp. and as a punish
ment for most trifiing infringement of
school rules would be very unjust, especial
ly to all who did not laugh.
Not very long ago the writer passed a
couple of little misses on the street on
their way home from school one evening,
when he heard one say to the other, Il
have to write twenty words tonight ten
times Going home to write 200 words,
after being in school all day! 1t does seem
to an old teao her that reform at this point
is in order. l am aware Of the fact that
order is the school rooms first law as
we'll as heavens. but in some of our schools
the order is unnatural and oppressive.
The stiffness is more like that of a tomb
where death has undiSputed sway than
like living throng of healthy and happy
boys and girls. OLD TEACHER,

FAD IN HER BED
Annie Engel suffoosted BY Inhaling nlu-
minating Gas.
No Reason for Suicide Known-Was q
Bright and Respected Girl Of
German Parentage.

Annie Engel a young white girl. about
2 years Of ago. employed as domestic
in the family Of Mrs. Louisa Kloman. 91S
NJ street. was found dead in bed this morn
ing. The room was full Of gas from the
burner which was turned on full head, and
the girl had doubtless been dead for q
couple Of hours when she was discovered,
The unfortunate young woman had been
in low spirits for some time past, but SO
far as known there was no reason for
suicide and no letter or other clue has
be found to show that she intended to
take her own life. She had been employed
as cook in the family for about seven
months, and had earned the respect and
liking Of all with whom she came in con-
tact. The house is large, double brick
structure, with a wide hallway In the CEN
ter. The maids rooms are in the back
building, but during the cold weather An
ME had occupied the hall bed room on the
second floor. When the upstairs maid,
Who gees home at night reached the house
this morning she thought the cook had
Kloman's daughter. Mrs. Plant knocked
on the girls door. but went on down stairs
without waiting for an answer. AS nothing
was heard from Annie Mrs. Plant went
back again a little before 8 o'clock. AS
repeated knockings brought no response
she summoned the other members of the
family.
Mr.. Edward Kloman tried to break in
the door. but finally secured admission
through the transom. He threw up the
windows. letting in a gust Of fresh air.
The girl was dead in bed and had evil
IDENTIFY died without struggle Drs. How
ard and Duffy were called in at once, but
there was nothing for them to do.
The dead girl comes of an excellent Ger
man family CT this city and was quite a
pretty girl. She had recently taken civil
service examination and was unusually in
telligent for gir! in her position. How
the accident could have occurred, If acci-
dent 1t was. is a mystery. The young wo-
man was perfectly familiar with gas burn
ers. and this particular one was in good
working order and had been tested by
plumber within year. The young woman
retired about $50 o'clock last evening, and
as the room Is a small one it would not
take long TO fill 1t with gas. Had the
burner been open all night it is thought
tEat the odor of gas would have been
noticed by others in the house. The only
sUppositicn Is that she arose at an early
hour this morning and turned on the gas
either purposeiy or accidentally. When the
room was entered this morning she was
attired In her night clothes, and the bed
clothes were drawn up over her as If she
was still asleep.
During the morning the coroner was
notified, and after investigating the case
gave g certificate in accordance with the
facts.
