The historical accuracy of Whittier's
poem Barbara Fritchie" was recently
called in question in an argument be-
fore tho Senate Committee of Claims,
In which the town OF Frederick, Md,
sought to recover the ransom of $780,
600 exacted by General Early during
the civil war. A mass OF evidence has
been accumulated In favor OF the sub
stantial truth OF the story. The wit
ness testified that he saw Barbara wave
the flag, another that he has the flag
at his home and numerous others that
they heard OF the occurrence at the
time. The testimony is direct and posi-
tive and seems to settle the question
conclusively.

State School Commissioners coments

wish to repeat with emphasis that
the whole trouble comes Of the organi-
zation OF the schools, running through
many years; the theory being there
must be but one grade of pupils, how
ever few, in room; that each recita-
tion must be followed by an equal per-
iod Of silent study, each teacher being
thus engaged In actual recitations a.
bout two aud one-half hours daily. In
other schools two divisions are required
Of same grade in large, and two grades
in small schools, thus providing contin-
uous work for teachers.
The construction OF our building,
though faulty in plan, each of ten
rooms having seating capacity for 20
pupils when 50 should be the highest
limit, was carefully and economically
done under the constant supervision of
capable and faithful members OF board.
All our State commissioners have
warned boards against waste and ex-
travagance in organization.

At another time he turned purple
instead Of red light on the demons,
very materially altering the complex
ions of their satanic majesties. BY
such means can the calcium man ruin
an effect.
The proprietor of the big calcium
light company which furnishes all the
apparatus, usually superintends in per-
son the lights on the stage, from the
wings and back DROP
The calcium works are not the least
entertaining part OF the business. In
the cellar are the great furnaces for
the production of the oxygen, the ap-
paratus for washing the gas, the great
receptacles for storing 1t, and count
less cylinders of varying sizes into
which the oxygen is drawn ready for
shipment. Some of the cylinders are
filled with hydrogen, fer which the
common street gas is used.
Here also the lime is shaped from
rough blocks into the little sticks COM
monty used for the lights. Calcium
men say that there is no danger at
tending the use of their lights. Acct
dents occur only from carelessness.
Occasionally g new hand will attempt
to fill one cylinder with both oxygen
and hydrogen gas, when an explosion
is apt to take place, after which the
experimenter does not usually have an
opportunity to try it again.

TIE NAN BEHIND THE LIGHTS.
People Have no Idea HOW Much De-
Ponds Upon the Fellow Who
Works the Calcium.

Out of the thousands y people who
attend the theatcrs during a season,
there are but few who appreciate the
services OF the man who controls the
calcium lights and understands how
much of the success of all spectacular
productions depends upon his skill and
management.
The average spec -ator enjoys the gen
eral effect without realizing the value
of the lime-light in the spectacle; but
the management knows it well and
considers the calcium man an import
ant factor in every theatrical combina-
ton.
The calcium man himself fully real
ICES his power and value. By an In
stants delay in throwing on the light
an effect is lost; by a mistake in color
some ones makeup is completely
spoiled, while the calcium man who
fails to follow with his halo OF light
the gyrations of the star might as well
seek some other employment. Many
an actor has been driven to the verge
of insanity by being compelled to look
pleasant when knowing that his circle
OF glory was trailing along a foot or
two behind him,
Quick and clever these managers of
the lights must be. Their cues for the
changes must be learned as exactly as
those of any actor in the play. Quite
as much responsibility is theirs. The
attention to the stage must be unfag-

A TERRIFIC FIRE.
Thousands of Barrels of Turpentine
and Oil Burned in II yarnish
Works.


NEW YORK, May 5.-The Standard
Varnish works, at Elm Park, Staten
Island. were damaged to the extent of
5000, 600 by a fire which started at mid
night and burned until 8 o'clock this
morning. The loss is partially covered
by insurance.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by an explosion OF gas in one
of the company's tanks. Seven great
tanks containing turpentine and lin
seed oil exploded one after the other.
The turpentine and linseed oil poured
in great volumes over the ground into
the waters Of the Kill Won Kull and
Newark bay Fire tugs from the Stand
ard Oil works at Bayonne arrived at
Elm Park not long after the fire start
ed, but they were forced to confne
their efforts to keeping the burning
fluids from flowing down the Kill and
setting fire to the boats tied up at diff
ferent points. The burning oils re-
peatedly swept against the fire boats
and they were in danger of catching
fire several times.
The fire Quilted half a dozen small
brick storehouses containing barrels of
varnish, hnseed oil and turpeRtine.
Only the walls of the buildings remain.
The store houses contained about 1000
barrels of oil. Three great tanks, each
of which held 5000 gallons of oil. were
DESTROYED On the docks there were
fully 1000 barrels of turpentine, all OF
which were consumed.

New York? When one looks at the
vacant billboards in front of many
of the theatres in town it Is incredible
that upon the Seth of April such a
condition should prevail in this city
with it's population of between four
and five millions. The houses that
are closed are Roster and Balls. the
Madison Square, the Bijou, the Sch
ley and the Victoria. The Herald
Square, it is said, will put up It's shut
tiers at the end of the present week,
and so will the Empire. The Fifth
Avenue, of course, will pass in among
the list of continuous houses. All of
these theatres are closing month, at
least, before their time, owing to the
melancholy fact that there is nothing
to put upon the stages. This, | con-
tend. is the logical outcome of the syn
dictate methods. They have stamped
out many and have discouraged other
creative managers in the country. AL
ways, until two or three years ago,
the New York manager could secure
some of the live managers through
out the country to come in here and
keep the doors open, and as a matter
of future business to let them try to
make a reputation for the company
on the road. Now all this is prac-
tically changed. The manager is not
a manager any longer; ne is a clerk
and has to do what he is told to do.
The syndicate, it was prophesied, at
the beginning, would bite off more
than it could chew There are no
four, six or ten men with brains
enough to furnish first-class amuse-
ment for this entire country. They
cannot satisfactorily fill the theatres
now under their control. The condi-
ton of things in New York is all the
more remarkable when it is remem-
bered that commercial business gener-
ally is better than it has been for six
or eight years. The public want to
go to the theatres, but there is little
for them to see. And things will get
worse and worse in this respect until
managers are free agents, to pick and
choose for themselves and to use
their own methods of production, Sc
lection and conducting business. -
