The address by Prof. Powell of Washing
ton, ID. c.. superintendent of public schools,
was the leading feature of the days pro-
gram He spoke of the essentials of edu-
cation, giving good, practical advice and
many illustrations. His suggestion was
that the best results can be secured in the
country. where all aids provided by nature
can be utilized by the competent and ener-
getic teacher. A rising vote of thanks was
rendered the speaker, after which the meet
ing adjourned.
The question referred to the school board
relating to furloughs being granted to those
teachers who wish to volunteer their serv-
ices in the war and return to school at its
close was not decided, as all appointments
of principals are made by the trustees, and
not by the board.
Brigadier General Lauranson Riggs of the
Maryland National Guard has been con-
templating for some time the organization
of an engineer battalion Of three COM
signal corps. The foundation of the latter.
composed Of the maximum number Of sixty
men, was completed Saturday. Mr.. Will
liam H. Lamar of this place, a member of
the proposed company. is in receipt of a
letter from General Riggs, in which he
states that it has been decided to modify
the original plans in relation to this COM
pany. in view of the new law of Congress-
but it will be mustered in as company of
infantry at once If the men SO desire. This
may cause some of the men to drop out
ganize the company and many others are
anxious to join. it will be mustered into the
Maryland National Guard early In the
week.

SUSPECTS REPORTED.
Police Notified of Mysterious Utter
nnces=The BOniinS PnrtY.


George a. Rudolph. who lives at LII 1st
quarters last night to report the suspicious
conduct of three men whom he believed to
be Spaniards bent on doing some mischief.
According 10 his report. he happened to
overhear the conversation of two of the
men. One of them carried satchel. which
Rudolph judged might possibly contain
deadly explosive. The remark he heard one
of them make was:
Everything is ready and We'll blow them
all into Il"
Feeling assured that the men were Span
iards, Rudolph followed them to the Con-
gressIonal Library, he says, where they
met a third man. A short consultation
Was held and the men separated, two of
them going south and the third one west
Had the two last mentioned gone far
enough they would have reached the James
Creek canal, but Rudolph did not follow
them. He followed the man who came
west and left him en- Pennsylvania avenue
to make report AT police headquarters
When he had finished his statement and
given a description of the men, he was
told TO make another search for the sus-
picious man and have him arrested by
policeman.
. The report made to the police yesterday
about the several colored men in a boat
who We're looked upon as suspicious, as
given in yesterdays Star, caused some eX-
citemcnt alcng the river front. From the
report received from Alexandria the police
We're unable to tell just how much i'm
portance to attach to the affair. The police
boat was not at its wharf, and Sergeant
Barry went in saHboat with several OIL
GERS to apprehend the alleged unpatriotic
crowd.
The men had made landing at Poplar
Point, near Anacostia, before he reached
them, and two of them had left the boat
and gone to their homes. There was moth
ing about the appearance of the craft to
indicate treason. 1t was an ordinary sail
boat, with the stars and stripes flying from
, the mast. The men are all hard-working
men and are employed at Fort Washing
ton. On account of the wet weather they
had come home to remain over Sunday.
Sergeant Anderson of Anacostia was
there when the men made u landing. He
was acquainted with all OF them and saw
no reason why they should De arrested.
but Sergeant Barry took them over the
river to the fourth precinct station. They
were discharged by Lieut.. HOllnberger, as
there Was nothing against them.

CLERKS OPPOSE TIME CLOCKS.
They Object to he known Only by
Numbers.


The time clocks for which the Treasury
Department has been negotiating for a
long time have been obtained and will be
put in operation throughout the depart
ment Monday morning. A great deal of
opposition to the system has manifested
itself among the highest paid and most
faithful clerks of the department in the
last few days. The feeling is particularly
high because each clerk has been given a
rumber and hereafter, so far as the
machines are concerned, will be known
only by that Bumber.
A machine has been apportioned to GER
tain divisions of the Treasury, and every
employe of these divisions will have to
register as No. so-and. so at his own
machine. He must register whenever he
comes in or goes out. His record by num-
bers and his name will be compared later
to see how punctual he is at duty
It's too much like a convict system"
is the way number of clerks speak of
it.
The clerks have already been given their
numbers. In one division clerk made a
protest on being known as mo. 13." He
succeed in swapping numbers with a
man of less superstitious nature. In the
same division the men now know each
other as Come Seven" Little joe" etc.

Miss Anne s. Hobbs who leaves for New
York very soon, held a reception at the
Elsmere on Tuesday afternoon in order to
afford a last opportunity to those who
wished to her miniatures. So many
people have turned their attention to mill
iature painting within recent years-some.
merely dabbling in it as a passing fad,
some taking 1t up as a medium well suit
ed to daintily pretty effects and not q few
taking refuge in it in the belief that er-
rors of drawing will appear less glaring in
tie diminutive portraits-that it is a gem
uine relief to find miniaturist who paints
as seriously as Miss Hobbs That she
spares no pains in her efforts to arrive
at the most artistic and veracious results

paints large oil portrait of her sitter
before commencing the miniature. Miss
Hobbs aims first Of all to get a likeness.
and In her work one is not impressed by
alluring color combinations and striking
effects of arrangement, but rather by the
character and lifelike expression in the
faces. In all of the tiny oval portraits
which We're displayed at the Elsmere the
workmanship Is very delicate, but she has
wisely avoided excessive minuteness. for.
as Mr.. Baer, the well-known New York
miniaturist, has aptly said: Miniature
painting Is not contest of physical eye
sight, and to engrave the Lords prayer
on a three-cent piece is not art" Some of
Miss Hobbs best work is to be seen in the
three portraits of Mrs. Calvin S. Brice
who posed for the largest of these in the
gown she wore when presented to Queen
Victoria. The texture and color of the
flesh Is well rendered in almost every case,
and among the best portraits shown one
may mention the miniatures of Nine. Mel

Mr.. S. Jerome Uhl expects to pay New
York a short visit soon, and will probably
leave the city about the middle of next
week. Among the portraits that are now
in his studio Is a head of James q. Blaine
which is considered a striking likeness by
some who have seen it and who knew the
man intimately. Both in color and in the
expression Of the face it is thought to be
very characteristic. Mr.. Uhl has also upon
his easel interesting portrait OF John
Burnett, who is well remembered by all CT
the older artists here, though death cut
short his career before his artistic ability
had brought him recognition outside OF
Washington.

last week. the students displayed most
laughable caricatures of the pictures that
are shown in the gallery of the Society of
American Artists, and for the costume ball
which was held in the evening, Mr.. Uhl
patterned himself closely after the figure
in his caricature. With a stylish decollete
waist and the manners of coy and blush

he carried off the second prize, s7.2S in
