gress. asks concerning the appointment OF
eleven supervising principals. at salary of
$1,000 each. "Of what practical use are
they?" To his pertinent and very laudable
inquiry / answer. They are of no practical
use whatever, and when the Congress con-
venes in December next Senator Stewart
will make their appointment and utility
matter of special investigation. We have
now an able. conscientious, painstaking and
scholarly superintendent, a man thoroughly
equipped and qualified for the efficient and.
no doubt, successful administration of the
duties devolving upon the office he has
been called to discharge. and with such
able principals as those in charge of the
Peabody. Towers and other schools of the
District, the citizens who pay the taxes to
support our school system have the right
to know why they should be compelled TO
contribute the sum of So. 900 per annum for
the employment of eleven supervising prin-
cipals. whose services are of no more prac-
tical utility than a fifth wheel to a wagon.
Their employment should be summarily

CURRENT SPORTING NEWS

The American oarsmen who are going
abroad to represent this country in the in
ternational boat races at Paris sailed today
on the steamship Westernland of the Red
Star line. Ten Eyck, the sculler, Is not
among them, unfortunately, as he refused
to go at the eleventh hour. giving as his
excuse the fact that the National AsSocia-
ton of Amateur Ooarsmen would not send
his rowing partner, Lewis, with him. Ten
Eyck's conduct is severely criticised by the
admirers of boat racing, and it Is more
than likely that his entry will be refused in
any future regatta of the National Asso-
citation. His standing as an amateur has
been assailed before. notably in England.
when h went to Henley, and he cannot
row there again He had never done any
thing here, however. to cause the National
Association to refuse to entertain his en-
try. and he was permitted to qualify for
Paris. To be sure, his conduct In his race
against Rumohr in the recent national re-
gatta was far from sportsmanlike, but his
fouling Rumohr In the race was overlooked.
Up to a late hour yesterday Frederick r.
Fortmeyer. secretary Of the National Asso-
citation, hoped to hear from Ten Eyck that
he would sail with the other oarsmen, but
instead he received a telegram from P. H.
Hurley. president of the Wachusett Boat
Club Of Worcester Mass, of which club
Ten Eyck is a member. declaring that Ten
Eyck's boats must not be placed on the
steamship. This telegram was evidently in
spred by a report printed in newspaper
that the boats had already been slowed
away in the cargo of the Westernland.
Secretary Fortmeyer, on finding that Ten
Eyck would stick to his determination not
to go to Paris. yesterday telegraphed to the
Vesper Boat Club Of Philadelphia to select
a substitute to sail with its eight today.
The party will now consist of the Vesper
eight and the substitute. the coxswain and
coach and Secretary Fortmeyer, twelve
men in ALL
Secretary Fortmeyer was exceedingly
wroth last night over Ten Eycks treat
ment of the National Association. and de-
clared that Ten Eyck should have remem-
bered that when the National Association
selected him to go abroad he was to go as
the representative of the whole country,
not of the Wachusett Boat Club.
When Secretary Fortmeyers attention
was called to the fact that there was a
number Of good scullers in the Vesper eight,
including Juvenal and Hedley. he said that
this country would not get left in the race
for single sculls. even If Ten Eyck had
done his best to leave 1t without a repre-
sentative. Another reason for Secretary
Fortmeyer's disappointment at Ten Eyck' s
shabby treatment was that he had prom
ised the Frenchman that Ten Eyck would
surely row, and they have endeavored to
get the best oarsmen in Europe to compete
against him. 1t is possible that Ten Eyck
feared defeat.

to bear out the impression that he intended
to make his home in Hawaii
1t is now all but definitely announced
that Hawaii will no longer be his home
except possibly as his official residence
Mrs. Sewall, who left by the Rio June 20,
after visit with her mother in San Fran
cisco, will join Mr. Sewall in Bath Me-
They will remain there some months
probably until after the close of the presi-
dental campaign. Just where they will
make their home after that is not decided.
1t is said, however, that Mr.. Sewall will
seek another diplomatic appointment from
the President If this is so, his position as
member of the republican national COM
mittee will not be a bad basis for the appli-
cation in case President Mckinley is re-
elected. In that case he could be nominated
by the President from Hawaii, as well as
from Maine. depending on which he con-
sidered his residence at the time.
For year or so the Sewalls have oc-
cupied Hale kulani, the Waikiki cottage of
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Levers, though many
months ago Mr.. Sewall bought property on
the Kaimuk tract and expressed the in
tention of building a residence there The
Levers cottage is now vacant, and it is
understood the kaimuki property is for
sale. The household furniture. or at least
! large part of it, is boxed up and is on
board the ship Erskne NJ. Phelps. ready to
be carried to San Francisco as soon as the
ship sails.
Harold NJ. Sewall was for a number of
years United States consul general to
Samoa, under appointment by President
Cleveland. In 1897 he was appointed United
States minister to Hawaii by President Nc
Kinley. and remained such until August
II, 1898, when the transfer of sovereignty
to the United States vacated that office.
He remained here as special agent of the
United States to Hawaii. in the meanwhile
becoming active candidate for the gov
ernorship. When Mr.. Dole was appointed

Attempted Suicide.

T. Martin Boyle, formerly of this city,
attempted to commit suicide at the Bald
win Hotel in Hagerstown by drinking
three ounces of laudanum, containing about
IA grains of opium. but survived
During the day Mr.. Martin bought an
ounce OF laudnum. drank it and went TO
the hotel. The drug did not have the eff
iSct desired and he went another drug
store where he purchased two ounce vial
full of the same poison. He told the
druggist TO charge it TO his mother, walk
ed OUT of the store, apparently all right.
This was at 8:25 O'Clock. He returned to
the hotel and took the elevator. As he
was going up the elevator boy noticed him
drink something from bottle but he did
not know what it v as. Mr.. Boyle went to
his mothers room, where he drew the
stopper from the bottle, and While stand
ing in the middle of the room drained it of
It's last drop. Removing the bottle from
his lips said; There's the laudanun. .
MIR. Martin was in the room at the time
and he called for assistance at once. The
stomach pump was applied. Then rene
dies were given, but he fell into stupor
and in the morning was better.
Mr.. Boyle is well known in this city,
having resided for a number Of years at
the old St. Clair Hotel. His step-father
was brother OF Hacket Martin, deceased.
His resuscitaton is considered by the
medical fraternity remarkable. AT one
time there apparently was not spark OF
life in him. The doctors kept working,
h wever, and finally brought him back to
life. Ordinarily 20 drops of laudanum are
enough to kill a man
