TROUBLESOME PLUMBERS.

A meeting of the local plumbers
union was held last night in Gamblinus
hall, corner of Market and Navarro
streets. A number of questions of i'm
portance came under discussion, but
what conclusion was arrived at was not
learned, as the meeting was secret
one. Some of the members say there
will be Developments in a few days.
1t seems that all is not serene between
the union and certain local firms, and
that strike may result from last

THE CoLoRED SCHOOLS.
A Prominent Citizen Tells What He
Thinks About Them.

| A Prominent Citizen Tells What He
Thinks About Them.
Editor Light:
AS an old resident of San Antonio
and one who has had the opportunity
to observe the educational progress of
my people for the past thirty years,
especially in this city, 1 decided a few
days ago to visit the different schools
for my race in this city to ascertain
what progress was being made and
look into their condition generally. On
Thursday morning, in company with
several we'll known colored citizens,
made a tour of the city schools. What
1 saw must commend, for it was evil
dent to me that not only our able sup
erintendent Prof. Schoch, and our
honored school board were doing their
part by us, but the able corps of teach
ers with which we are blessed just now
were doing their full duty. There ap,.
pears a commendable effort on the
part of all concerned to maintain our
public system of learning at a high
standard, regardless of color. To my
mind our colored tax payers have
just cause to feel proud not only of
the faithful attention of our school
board to their educational interests,
but the competent teachers who are at
present in charge of our schools. My
children have ATTENDED the schools
regularly for years and 1 can truthful
ly say that at no time have they de-
rived as much benefit as at the pres
ent time. trust that the members of
my race in the city would hereafter
give more attention to our schools.
visit them and personally inspect them
In this way children will be benefited,
the teachers stimulated and the gem
eral efficiency of the schools increased.
If it be true that train up a child
when young, in the way it shall go,
and it shall not depart from it," how
necessary for the parents generally to
be alive as to the progress of their chill
dren. Yours.
HENRY O'NEIL.

myriads of Chinese lanterns in all the bril-
liancy of ochre and blue. and Enthusiastically
arranged all over the room. Bot Sing, the
Chinese chef, prepared the deiicacies for
the feast.

the attempts of the diners to handle the

planned all the dishes to the guests so that
they would have no qualms about partak-
ing of them.

decision should be reached by the District
authorities regarding the proposed Fort
Drive that Major Powell, recently En-
gineer commissioner of the District, con-
ceived and mapped out. 1t has been in
timated on apparently very good authority
that the project would be abandoned. but
until some definite announcement is made
there will be much perplexity on the part
of those owning property in the line of the
proposed drive.
1t was quietly developed during the week
that an attempt had been made by some
irresponsible parties to interest northern
capitalists in scheme to build modern
tenement houses in Washington. Inquiry
on the part of one of the moneyed men.
who looked rather favorably upon the pro-
1ect, discovered that the parties making
the suggestion had made use Of the plans,
proposed by Surgeon General Sternburg
to the National Sanitary Improvement
Company and that the ground upon which
they proposed to put up the tenements
belonged to some one else.

Watch VS.. Locomotive.
From the Philadelphia Record.

Very few of the millions of people who
carry watches realize to what wonderful
extent fabrication Is developed ami what
an extraordinary number of turns the bal
ance wheel makes with one oiling. A Chest
nut street MATCHMAKER. whose knowledge
of these wonderful pieces Of mechanism is
not exceeded by any man IN this city, has
made up an interesting table of comparison
to show the perfection of fabrication in a
watch.
A watch will run on bne oiling from a
year to a year and halt. Every minute
the balance wheel turns on its axis 400
times, and 1900 times in an hour. Accept
ing the year as the time the ordinary watch
will run with one oilins be hnds that II the
driver OF locomotive was rs well oiled as
the balance wheel of a watch it ought to
run run sixty miles an hour day and night for
64S days. or well on to twosyears with one
oiling. In that time it would traverse dis
lance equal to nearly t6ur times the circum-
ference of the earth.
In view Of the fact that in reality few
locomotives will run one day without re-
oil1ng, he maintains that the matchmaker
has developed his art to a far greater de-
gree than the locomotive builder has yet
been able to reach.
