The committee who has had the matter
in charge have labored for its success for
many. weeks, and after hunting all over
the city for q place to hold their party
decided that there was no place so suitable
as the large grounds surrounding Mrs
P1nkhams home. When Mrs. Pinkharn
was asked by the ladies If she would give
the use Of her lawn for the purpose, she
readily consented. She can always be
counted upon to help along any good

Tyler, state general secretary of the or

a chance to peep through the telescope.

cry (which apes the English fashion, of
separating the sexes, simply because it

PLUCK AND ENTERPRISE.
American characteristics Shown by

American characteristics Shown by
a Well-knOyvn Washington Firm.
Americanism has come to be recognized
the world over as the synonym of pluck
and enterprise. When these characteristics
are shown in the face of obstacles they are
praiseworthy and inspiring So far as
courage In business is concerned, Wash
ington is having a notable illustra-
ton in the case of the CheryMoran Com
pany. The members of this firm were con-
nected, as is well known, with the firm of
the Robinson-Chery Company, which was
scourged by fire several months ago. They
rose, phoenix-like,l from the ashes at 18th
and F streets, and, after a short career on
9th street, opened a modern establishment
at S11 Pennsylvania avenue northwest.
Again, on the 18th of May, fire visited the
energetic young men, and entirely new
stock of goods was made the subject of
damage. An inventory showed that smoke
had caused most of the loss. In order to
start anew, the company determined to sell
all the smoke-damaged goods at prices
which customers can fix for themselves,
and this morning the fire sale began. The
opportunities are being eagerly taken ad-
vantage of, and the crowds in attendance
indicate the desire of the wise for good
bargains.
AS soon as the present sale is concluded
the company will put in another entirely
new and modern stock. and endeavor to
have everything that is best for the COM
munity at reasonable prices.

SUIT OVER BOUNDARY.
Matter of Contention Between West
Virginia and Marxland.

The long-pending suit of the state of
Maryland against the state of West Vir-
ginia for an adjustment of the boundary
line between the two states will shortly be
sent to the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Ever since the settlement of Maryland
1t has been engaged in boundary disputes
The first was with William Penn, who de-
sired an outlet to the ocean, and who, by
the decision Of Lord Chancellor Harddncke,
traced upon a forged map which Lord Bal
tlmore was unable to prevent from being
given in evidence, secured the strip of land
now forming southern Pennsylvania and
that included in the state of Delaware
The charter of Maryland made it's northern
boundary the 10th parallel. which placed
the site of Philadelphia within Maryland.
A border war was carried on for many
years between the Pennsylvania and Bal
timore partisans. the leader of the latter
being Thomas Cresap.
After nearly q century of conflict the
boundary between Maryland and Virginia
was finally determined by the United States
Supreme Court a few years ago, the Mary
land contention Of Jurisdiction over the.
Potomac and Pocomoke sound being de-
MED.
The West Virginia suit is a legacy from
Virginia, and the point at issue is the
oct location of the fountains or sources
of the Potomac. Under the Maryland
claim forty square miles would be added
to that state.

IN EXECUTIVE SESSION
Important Business Transacted by Board Of
School Trustees.
Cheap School Buildings OppOsed-Es-
Inmates for Next Year ana Pro-
motions of Teachers.

The board of trustees of the public schools
held an executive meeting yesterday after
noon. at which all the members were pres
ent except Gen. Ellis Spear, who is absent
from the city. The report of the committee
on estimates for the support of the schools
for the next year was submitted and
adopted, and the secretary notified to send
them to the District Commissioners
The nominations of teachers for promo
ton, as we'll as action upon the transfer of
many OF them, were settled and the result
will be ready for public announcement IL a
day or two.
Two resolutions of great Importance were
adopted. The first placed the board on rec
ord as deeming the erection of cheap school
buildings, as contemplated in one or two in
stances by the Commissioners of the Dis
trict, on account of the inadequacy of ap-
preparations to secure the erection of build
ings as originally planned, as being unwise
and injudicious.
The other provided that the percentage
necessary to be obtained in the examina-
ton OF colored high school scholars who
seek admission to the Coored Normal
School be reduced from 50 per cent to IS
per cent. This action will permit no less
than hfty-eight pupils of the colored high
schools who received IS or more per cent
but failed to reach so per cent to be adj
mitted to the Normal School.
On motion of Mr.. Job Barnard, a resOlu-
ton was adopted directing en- auxiliary ex-
animation OF colored kindergarten candi-
dates to be held in September.
The resignation of DR.. H. T. A. Lemon
as teacher and principal of the Jefferson
School was accepted, and the board extend
ed him good wishes in the practice of his
profession, to undertake which he resigned.
Mr.. c. N. Thompson of the sixth grade
was promoted to be principal of the Jeffer-
son School, at a salary Of 81 200 per annum.
