put on trial Monday. in Criminal Court,
No. 2, Justice Bradley presiding. Although
Webster is indicted for murder it is be-
lieved that the verdict will be for man
slaughter. should the prisoner be found

The circumstances surrounding the
death OF Shoemaker briefly, are: In May

watchman at a lawn party. which took
place in Anacostia. During the progress
of the entertainment he was annoyed by
several boys, one of whom was James
Shoemaker, lad about thirteen years of
age. Webster. having only one arm could

POLITICAL PULLS IN
MARYLAND SCHOOLS
One Capable Applicant Refused TO
Go to show With Trustees
Son aud Lost a job.

Baltimore. Md, Dec. 3.-The enactment
of compulsory educational law for Mary
land was strongly advocated at the an
nual meeting of the Association of State
School Commissioners here yesterday. The
legislature will be asked TO enact such i
law. 4 sensation was created by charges
being made that many district school
trustees. particularly in the eastern and
northern counties. are unfit for the re-
sponsibilties of their positions. II was
plainly shown that political pulls and
other considerations, instead of fitness.
frequently influenced appointments of
teachers.
George Biddle examiner of Cecil Coun-
ty. related an incident where candidate
for position lost her chances by refusing
TO go TO an entertainment with the son
of one of the trustees.
President Prettyman of the State Nor
NAL School. denounced the system of plac-
ing so much power in the hands OF un-
educated and irresponsible men. There
are now 2.273 schools, attended by III. .295
pupils, in the counties of Maryland.

THE JOCKEY CLUB
MADE SOME MONEY
AGGREGATE OF PURSES Run FOR
About S35,GoO Distributed Among
Horsemen During the Benning
Meeting.

The Benning track, so full of life a few
days ago. is az quiet a graveyard now
The racing men. with their horses, attend
ants and jockeys, have departed for other
fields. The majority of them have gone
to New Orleans, where they will spend the
winter
The meeting that closed on Wednesday
was one of the most satisfactory ever held
by the Washington Jockey Club. Not
withstanding the bad weather that pre-
vailed during most Of the racing. the at
tendance was good, and the running was
of an unusually interesting nature
From a financial standpoint the meeting
was a success. The club made some
money. AT least. this is what those who
should know claim.
During the fifteen days of racing some
thing like $35, go was distributed among
the horse owners. there being in the neigh
borhood of hundred VINO made entries.
There were between 800 and co horses on
the ground during the meeting. The win
nings IAN all the way from $2.175 that be-
ing the amount won by Frank Beard :
horses, down TO $25.
-Four other stables won s1.l00 or more.
They were John McCafferty, 81 500; p S.
+. RoudOiph. Nl.aJDi l.. y. ApnleDN, VI llU
O. l.. Richards s1G95, and r. Y. Al n
der, sl,070 Jefferson won the largest sum
of any one horse. In fact. he made near
ly all of the Beard stables winnings. He
started in four races. Won three of th' m
and came out second once. His biggest
purse was the first Washington cup,
sl.200, Honor Cots winning of the re-
newed Washington cup on the last day
OF the meeting took the Randolph s a
bic above the thousand mark. That win
ming added S665 To the stables exch q er
Jimmy Mclaughlin just lacked s. OF
reaching the thousand mark, while ]. G.
Smith needed $105 to reach it. There
We're about twenty stables that won more
than $500 but less than 81 600.
The case of Willie Simms was the
most serious one so far as the miscon-
duct of jockeys goes. Simms for strk-
/ ing an owner, was fined 500 and set down
and his case referred to the Nat toIa1
Jockey Club. The occurrence occasion
I ed a lot of talk and many prophe Gle s
were made as to the colored boys future
/ There were predictions that he would
/ ride no more. He had plenty, it was
( said, and would make no effort for for

the public has probablysa greater rever-

credit for, and possibly resents having

few people who can appreciate the genius

Madame Helena Modjeska, Ellen Terry

So long as Shakespeare can draw such

THE WRIT SERVED.
Succial Election for I nc Successor of
Senator Handy 30 Nc Held
Monday,

Tx Secretary Of State j. Harvey
Whncman late Tuesday afternoon served
the writ on Sheriff William r. Finn,
which calls fnra 4 special election to M
held to elcc, successor to the late
Senator Robert }. Handy
Sheriff Finn early yesterday afternoon
decided upon Monday week as the day
and in consequence OF this the divers
senatorial aspirants are hustling for the
honor
Amongst the most promising candi-
dates who may possibly fill the position
are DR.. Evan q. Shortlldge, who is sup
ported by the members of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, and Godfrey
Hanby son Of the deceased.
A report has been circulated that the
regular Republicans will allow the
Unionists to name James e. Shaw, OF
New Castle, for Senator and give united
support to him.
The call for the special election has
created complication that may engen.
der some difficulty.
In an interview with a prominent at
torney he expressed belief that the
special act az passed by the Legislature
did not exempt the parties from comply
ing with the primary law.
