Thousands Of bright-eyed, neatly-clad
children. troopipg along the streets this
morning, between $3.50 and 8 o'clock filing
the delightfully."- fresh autumn air with the
music of their young voices and happy,
laughter, carelessly swinging the lunch
baskets and books that they carried, indi-
Gated as plainly as words that the school
term had again opened.
During the vacation that has just ended
but few changes have been made in the
schools, and the efficient corps of teach
ers. for all of the latter, with the exception
of ten or twelve, returned to the duties
they performed prior to the summer holi-
days. In addition to those returned thirty
five more teachers have been obtained by
the trustees to meet the growing require
ments in many of the school divisions. but
the greater portion OF these have been as
signed TO duty in the suburbs.
1t was estimated today that more than
$4,000 children were present when the
schools were called to order by the teach
ers, and this number will daily increase as
people return from out of town. 1t is be-
lieved by the trustees that the capacity of
the schools will be overtaxed this year.
This conclusion is based on the few pupils
who have severed connections with school,
and the great demand that has been made
for cards Of admission by children who
never before attended school. In the gram
mar and primary schools this will be more
noticeable than in the high schools.
At the latter place the entire time today
was devoted to conditioned" exlminat ons
and examinations for pupils who have but
recently moved into the District
A new feature that was introduced in
the system of teaching today is the kim
dergarten school, which is regarded most
favorably by teachers and parents alike.
These classes have been added to Harrison,
Henry, Jefferson, Toner, Gales, and Ma
sonic Temple schools in this city and Ana
costa. 1t is believed by experts in teach
ing that the Kindergarten system will
prove to be of incalculable benefit to the
schools. for by it the infant pupil is grad
ually and pleasantly prepared for the real
conflict for knowledge when sufficiently
old enough to learn how to study.
During the past week the school officials
were very busy in preparing the buildings
and arranging paraphernalia for the open
ing of the school tern. There was much
preliminary work necessary on the part of
the educational authorities, and many con
sultations were held between principals
and teachers, and every possible thing was
done to have each school thoroughly pre-
pared for the work that began this morn
ing.

INDUSTRIAL COLOR PRINTING.
A New Machine Invented by n Rus
sian Engineer.

A machine has been introduced into this
country for printing in colors which is in
its operation a departure from any ma
chine hitherto used for a like purpose.
1t is the invention of Ivan Orloff, chief en-
gineer and manager of the Russian Govern
ment Printing Works at ST. Petersburg,
and it possesses many points of interest
In the ordinary fiat color printing ma
chine the successive colors are applied one
at a time as each one becomes dry. but the
Orloff machine puts down all the coIors
on the paper at once. SO that a great saw
ing of time is effected.
The principle of the machine is as fol-
lows: The blocks which take the different
colors are fixed to a cylinder of large diam
eter, and each block receives the supply of
coIored ink intended for 1t, and as the
cylinder revoIves the ink on each block
is transferred to a composition roller very
similar to an ordinary mixing roller After
all the colors have been transferred to
this roller, each in its proper position, an
engraved block or form follows and re-
ceives perfect impression from the COM
position roller.
Thus impressed, the form passes on and
comes in contact with the paper on the
impression cylinder. where it prints all
the colors at one operation The whole Of
these various transfers are performed dur
the blocks pass under the mixing rollers,
the latter are, at the proper time, lowered
by system Of cams so as to come into
contact with the blocks which they are in
tended to ink The number of colors that
can be used is only limited by the number
of blocks and the size of the machine All
the operations go on continuously, as the
cylinder revelves in one direction only.
The number of finished impressions is
stated to be about one thousand an hour.
The machine was originally designed for
the Russian Government to print multi
colored patterns for banknotes. and it ap-
pears to be we'll adapted for this purpose.
We understand that the Russian authori-
ties have thirty-two Of these machines at
work in st. Petersburg on their new issue
of paper money. and also producing bank
notes for the Chinese Government We
understand that the machine now in Lon
don is the only one outside Of St Peters,
burg.

His Marriage.

BALTIMORE, Sept 1S.-Lawrence E.

city, has applied to the court for annul-
ment of his marriage to Mary E. Book
hultz. They were married last May.
He is twenty-eight and the woman twenty

alleges that he met Mary BookhuItz, wild
ow. year ago, but thereafter only saw
her two or three times before the we'd
ding.
While suffering with malaria, he says. he
took quinine and whisky to such excess
as to stupefy him. In this condition. he
declares, he was taken to the home of tbs
girls father where the marriage ceremony
was performed, but he had no knowledge
of it at the time. He was put to bed and
remained in stupor for two days. When
he came to his senses, he says, he was in
formed of the marriage and confronted with
a long list of articles, including horses, car
riages, and jewelry, which the defendant
demanded he should buy for her. He i'm
mediately left the house and says he never
returned to the woman.

DOGS AND PONIES ON PARADE.
Gentry Brothers. Street Displa!
Admired by Crowds.

The parade of the ponies, dogs, mon
keys, and elephants belonging to Gentry
Bros. Dog and Pony Show. almost caused
stampede in the several school houses
which it passed on its route around the
city this morning so eager were the schol-
ars TO see the parade. 1t also attracted /
large crowds as it moved along PennSyl-
vania Avenue with the band playing and
the dogs barking in chorus.
The ponies are the neateSt and pre:tiest
little animals that have been seen in
Washington in many day. and the bright
tarpping and gayiy-co,ored wagons el.c-tei
favorable comment from the hundreds OF
spectators along the line of march. The
parade was a unique one in that the dogs
occupied the gaiiy-colored chariots which
in most circus parades are filled with men
and women, and the dogs appeared to ap
pIeciate the honor.
The fire department manned by dogs
and monkeys, was greatly admired, espe-
cially the hook and ladder wagon with the
monkey on the end grasping the steering
wheel as IL the safety of the vehicle de-
pended upon his skill in guiding it through
the crowded streets.
rhe elephants Satan and Pluto though
small specimens, are intelligent animals.
and perform some wonderful tricks during
the show. The list of dogs, seventy-five
in number, includes specimens of all the
most intelligent breeds, which perform
feats that are marvellous. The big baboon
and the smaller monkeys, are also trained
20 give an exhibition that will be highly
pleasing. The fire scene, in which the
dogs and monkeys extinguish blaze and
rescue the occupants of the house, and the
runaway in which the carriage is wrecked
and its occupants thrown out and badly in
jured, but resuscitated by a monkey ply
scan, are two Of the many interesting
acts performed by the dogs and monkeys.
The show will remain in Washington a
week, giving two performances day after
today, only one being given this evening.
There will also be a daily street parade.
