PROMINENT SCHOOL MASTERS

Professor Dumas is Obliged to Move
Out of the High School Yard-Be-
fore the Educational Board for
Consideration.

For some little time past j. Light
foot and j. l.. Dumas, both teachers
employed by the Department of Edu-
cation, have not been on the most corr
dial terms. They both occupied cot
tages in the High School grounds and
petty quarrels have been frequent.
Less than a month ago a wordy row
ensued between the gentlemen and
the matter was Immediately brought
to the attention of the Educational
Commissioners.
After Il full investigation of the
trouble, it was ordered that to sub
serve the interests of harmony one of
the gentlemen and his family had net
ter find other quarters, which would
be outside of the High School wall. 1t
was accordingly ordered that Mr.. Du-
mas go through the perpleXing ordeal
of moving. This he has already done.
At yesterdays meeting of the Com
missioners, Mr.. Dumas in commu-
nication to the Department asked that
he be allowed an increase of $25 per
month, this being the amount of his
rent. Professor Alexander and w. A..
Bowen favored such an action, but
Minister Cooper, Mrs. Dillingham; and
Mrs. Jordan voted nay, and Mr. Dumas
was disappointed.
Mr.. Lightfoot is vice principal of
the High school and principal of

THE BICYCLE GIRL.


Where are those maids we used TO love
In old precycle days,
Those artless, ankle hiding girls,
With shy, retiring waysY
Those girls who talked Of flowers and stars,
Music and poetry
The latter somewhat thin, tits true,
Sometimes quite wateryY
No more of such like gentle things
Do maidens sweetly pirate;
The few who do are voted by
Their sisters out of date.
Now, when murmur tender things
Into my loved ones ear,
She chips in with an oc, remark
Concerning high graGS gear.
And when, with palpitating heart,
To wed her / aspire,
She asks me what l think Of her
Brand new pneumatic tire.
Instead of soulful meandcl ings
In loves old fashioned niode,
She takes me ON tantem
twenty niles Of ,.us,y road.
Fer tall; is all of srrocl;et wheels
And ril..s, tnIs Laid wlio cykcS.
her very dreams, metnlnkS, blelUH
OF different makes of bikes
And she can mend punctured tire,
But punctured socks may wait
With holes as big as half a crown,
Which she cannot locate.
Nothing she knows of making cakes,
And homemade jam she'd spoil,
But she tell you the best makes
OF l1bricating oil
She'll pedal miles on hottest days
Along the worst known road,
But she won't do single turn
Within her own abode
She won't cut wood, nor hoe, nor dig.
Nor tubs on washday fill
That's boys workout she'll ride her blk,
Right up the stiffest hill.
In short, considering everything,
This modern girl of muscle
Is no more use at home than was
She ofSsmall waist and hustle.

Merit in medicine means the power to
cure. Hoods Sarsaparilla possesses actual
and unequalled curative power and there
fore it has true merit. When you buy
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and take it according
to directions, to purify your blood, or
cure any Of the many blood diseases, you
are morally certain to receive benefit.
The power to cure is there. You are not
trying an experiment. 1t will make your
blood pure, rich and nourishing, and thus
drive out the germs of disease, strengthen
the nerves and build up the whole system.

WE BELIEVE
of the fabrics. tn,

that purchases of groceries are made
to fill certain needs, and that quality
must actually have the largest share
of attention. Price is and should be
made, subordinate until ones judg-
ment approves the quality. The quail
ity once fixed, then buy as low as it
can be bought. This is our theory in
buyingc We have carefully graded the
price on our entire stock, but not a
single article is of poor quality. Each

CHAPMANPS LIFE In JAIL
Contented Behind the Bars, but
Fears Dyspepsia.
Millionaire Prisoner VIII Conduct
business with His Office by Teie-
phone-Pieasant Confinement.

With his personality buried under the
noncommitting title, NO $780, Broker
Chapman yesterday passed the first dag
of his sentence in the District jail-snost
pleasantly, as he declared.
Indeed, there is very little reason why
he should complain, as everything that
money can do to soften his imprisonment
has been done by his friends, and but
for the restriction upon his liberty he
coald easily imagine himself in his own
home.
The cell whichis to be his abiding place
FOR the next thirty days has been fitted up
with furniture taken from one OF the rooms
at the Arlington, even TO a weI-seleeted
library and nursery refrigerator, con-
tanning a stock OF dainties from which he
can at any time supply himself with an
appetizing lunch. From 10 to 2 daily he
has the freedom of the big airy Jail corridor,
in which To receive his friends and read
the newspapers, of which a full supply is
sent to him regularly. Added to this is
an inexbaustible stock of choice Havanas
and meals served by the Arlin gton.
Mr.. Chapman's only fear is that, de-
customed, he will contract indigestion.
For this reason he has instructed Manager
Bennett. of the Arlington, who snpe!tn-
tends bis cuisine, to serve him with meat
only once Gay and TO make his menus as
light as possible
Yesterday Mr.. Bennett, who was the
first of the millionaire prisoners long list
OF visitors, suggested another method OF
relieving the ennui and OF frustrating the
purpose of imprisonment.
II say. Chap" he said, why don't
you communicate with your office daily
by telephone?"
II had not thought of that" the broker
answered II did not know l could use
the phone Can I, Mr.. Leonardo he
continued to the warden, who was stand
ing By.
'.why certainly, Mr Chapman" was
the answer And the big stock broker
will continue to direct the business Of
his office exactly as if he were seated
at his own desk.
Among Chapman's other visitors yester-
day we're Judge Dittenhoefer and Judge
"Jere" Wilson, his counsel; John Nc
Cartney, and Sugar Magnates Havemeyer
and Searles.
They all spent considerable time with
the broker, chatting and laughing, and
evidently considering The matter huge
joke.
Mr. Chapman himself evidently regards
his novel experience somewhat In that
light, and in a letter TO Mr. Bennett yes
terday scratched out the usual date line
and placed in its stead the words Jail

LAWN TENNIS TOURNAMENT.
The Closest Game Was Between
Thompson and Clay.

Southern Lawn Tennis Association was
commenced under most favorable condi-
tions at the Bachelor Club courts yester-
day afternoon.
The closest game Of the afternoon was
between Thompson and Clay, the former
winning-3-6, 6-3, GA.
GooJfellow hardly played up to his
accustomed form, although he succeeded
in defeating Wilcox by Ga, 62. Wilcox
dill some pretty smashing in the first set,
and his placing throughout was surprisingly
good.
Davidson disposed of T. NJ. Wilson by
the good margin of 6-2, 60. Wilson put
up a stiff game, but Davidson's wbirlwind
play was too much for him
F. 0. Warficld took a Ogden into camp
by the score of 6-3, 6-3. Warfield's game
was distinguished by some brilliant back
court work and if he keeps up the pace
he may fight it out with some of the older
players in the finals
Driscoll beat Major Hall with comfortable
ease by 6-3, GA.
Metcalf won from n. Doolittle by de-
fault
Play will he commenced promptly at 3
O'Clock this afternoon on the courts of the

teenth and Connecticut avenue.
