William ODonnell, who was dishonorahlv
olscharged from the Hospital Corps, at the
Arsenal Thursday afternoon, made threats
that before leaving he would kill Steward
Chalmers. A month ago he assaulted a fell
low member of the corps and was put in
the guard house. Soon after his release he
caused trouble again. and Thursday his
career was ended by his discharge
lie was put out of the grounds by a de-
tachment OF the guard and was ordered to
Keep outside the gate. In some way he
managed to pass the sentry however, and
went in search of Chalmers and others
against whom, 1t is alleged, he had griev-
ances. The corporal of the guard got him
out a second time, and Policeman Herbert
arrected him. A razor was found on him.
This weapon he had borrowed from a SOL
der.
Witnesses who appeared In the Police
Court against him yesterday told of his
threats. One of them said O'Donnell told
MN he would kill Chalmers If he had to
wait two years to do it. The prisoner de-
clared to Judge Kimball that he was the
victim Of a conspiracy. He had no idea of

beer and he hardly remembered what hap

For threatening the stewards life he was
sentenced to give security in the sum of

razor case, while in the disorierly conduct
case he was fined $40 with the alternative

for Two New buildings.
In order to assist them in the selection
of a site for the colored manual training
school, the Commissioners of the District
recently asked Mr.. G.. F. T. Cook, super
intendent of the colored schools, whether
there will be any close connection between
the high school and the manual training
school. Mr.. Cook has informed them that,
in his opinion, there will not. Pupils, he
states, will be admitted to it upon the COM
,pletion of the elghth-grads course In this
connection he presented the following fact
as serving the Commissioners in the saiec-
ton: OF the entire enrolment of this school
population, the percentage for each section
of the city is-northwest, 81; northeast, Z;
southeast, II, and southwest, IS. Nearly
rs per cent of the entire enrolment is in
schools on and west of LIST street west and
slightly more than 80 per cent west of
9th street.
The Commissioners are considering the
selection of the site for this school, and
also that for the Takoma Park school.
They visited Takoma Park yesterday after
noon. and it is understood that, while Com
missioner Ross thinks well of the five-acre
tract al the junction of the Piney Branch
and Blair roads. recommended by the
school committee of the Takoma Park Citi-
zens Association, his associates are not IA
vorabIy disposed toward 1t.

tracted Incorporate Habits.
Minor Lawson, a young man from Vir-
ginia who has been behind the bars in this
city many times, was before Judge Kimball
again today, because Of his intemperance.
Policeman Johnson explained to the court
that Lawson is unable to control his APP
petite for strong drink. He said he had
seen the prisoner in an intoxicated condi-
ton number Of times.
Lawson called at the court yesterday
morning about O'clock" said Policeman
Flynn, land wanted to sell me shirt, but
/ told him 1 was afraid 1t wouldn't fit me-"
well, Lawson" said Judge kimbali,
TN sorry to see you here again."
And I'm sorry to be here" the prisoner
said 'If you let me 80 I'll return to Vir-
gnia and remain there"
How did you form this miserable habit2'
he was asked
Through a doctors prescription" was
his answer. II had the typhoid fever and
the doctor ordered me a stimulant."
Many a man has been sent to drunk
ards grave through doctors prescrlp-
ticn.'' said Judge Kimball, land If doctors
could see the effects Of their prescriptions
as 1 have seen them, they would stop It,
The judge said he was sorry there Is not
an inebriate asylum in this city for just
such persons as Lawson. He said he had
made many efforts to have Congress pro-
vide such an institution, but without sue
cess. Lawson was committed to the farm
for sixty days, and 1t was directed that he
be given hospital treatment.

THE WHITE HOUSE LAWNS,
An Effort Being Made to Eradicate
the Garlic,


For a week past an old man has been
moving slowly about the lawns In the rear
or the White House every day, his eyes in
tently fixed upon the green turf. In his
right hand he carries funnel with long
stem, and in his left little can with a
spout. Ever and anon the old fellow stops
and bends lower over the grass There is q
sudden movement downward with the right
arm, the funnel, which has a sharp point.

forward until the spout rests in the top
Of the funnel. This only takes a moment
