WOMAN sUFFRAGIsTs ADJOURN
The Convention of the National As
socintfon at an End.

MINNEAPOLIS. June 5.-The thirty
third convention Of the Nationa Woman
Suffrage Association is over, after a most
interesting session covering an entire
week. Aside from the business transacted
the feature that struck the spectator
most fOrcibly was the paramount fnliu-
ence of Susan =. Anthony. Her word IS
stin law. The next feature was the quick
busiuess-like manner Of Mrs. Gait in di-
recting proceedings. She lost no time,
and business was transacted rapidly and
thoroughly.
a third subject Of remark is the rapidly
with which the younger element in the
association IS coming to<the front and the
aptitude these young women show in
grasping objects aimed at and most di-
rect means Of securing these ends.
The closing sessions today and tonight
were most interesting. Miss Anthony
opposed immovable conventions, and that
settled it. Several amendments were Of
fered 10 the constitution, but no radical
or even material changes were made. At
the last session this evening addresses
were made by Miss Alice Stone Black
wei, Mrs. Mary c. Bradford, Miss Har-
riet May Mills Mrs Shaw, and Susan 3.
Anthony. The convention then adjourned.

/ uiar meeting of that body last night a

that the errors in McBIasters' and Barnes

/ by General BoyntOn had been corrected

on those chapters of the civil war which
| contained the errors will now be resumed.
hut, of course, there will be little further
study in history this year. 1t is aItogeth-
er likely that all the text books placed
under the ban as a result of the iuvesti-
cation of General Boyuton will be cor
rected The errors consisted of state
ments regarding battles of the civil war
which were at wide variance with the rec
ords of the War Department.
j. Holdsworth Gordon. when the present
BOard of Education was created, drew
the short term. An order was received
from the Commissioners by the Board
Lost night conveying the intelligence that
Mr.. Gordon was appointed for term of
seven years, beginning with the eXpira-
tiOn of his present term, July l. 1901.
The much discussed colored school site
on p Street northwest has at last been
definitely settled. The Commissioners
have accepted the offer of Joseph /. We'll
Ter to sell to the District government
certain property on Street northwest
for the site of a colored school The name
of the school is not yet decided, but the
site adtoins Slater School on p Street
northwest, between North Capitol and
First Streets. The consideration is So
5000. When 1t was recommended by the
Commissioners that a colored school be
located at that place there was strenuous
objection on the part of people living in
that vicinity who felt that there was
already sufficient accommodation for the
colored children of that section and that
the proximity of colored school would
deDreciate the value of property. An in
formal census showed that a large num-
Der OF pupils attending the Slater School
came from sections rather remote from
the immediate neighborhood of the school.
Ihe North Capitol and lexington Citi-
zens' Association took an active part in
the opposition to the site finally selected,
but to no avail. Work on the building,
which Is to be one of eight rooms, will
begin in the fall.
The g. A. r. is desirous that military
drill be taught in the grammar schools,
and communication expressing their
views on the subject was received at the
meeting last night and referred to the
Committee on Military instruction con-
sisting of G. n Harries and j. Holds
worth Gordon.
A number of designations of teachers
were rendered and accepted. Among the
number was that of Hiss Emma NJ. Mott

AN ARM IN A SHARK.
The CHASTITY Discovery Made by n
LiEhtship's Crew.

LIZ hishID's SFe".
CHAIR ESTON, 5. c., June Sin the
stomach Of a ten-foot shark, captured last
night by the crew Of the lightship of
Charleston bar, there was found today
the left arm of negro. Since the drown
ing OF fifteen fishermen near the lightship
on Friday last, school of sharks has
been skirtiEg the water looking eagerly
for prey, and d number Of fishing boats
have gone out for the purpose Of making
captures.
Late last night a big shark which
swan near the lightshiD nibbled at a
hook attached to a rope and by a good
strong pull he was landed. There was
desperate struggle, lasting for nearly
ten minutes. but the shark was finally
overpowered and dragged on deck. Other
sharks ran near the ship, although they
kept away from the hooks
When the monster had been killed IT
was decided to rip him open, and the arm
Of a negro was discovered. The bone had
been snapped of above the elbow, and
the entire member was lacerated and torn.
No trace of the fifteen lost fishermen
can be found and it is thought the
sharks devoured the bodies. Old sailors
here think the sharks were OF the man
eating kind, and 1t is claimed that the
condition Of the arm shows 1t was torn
off in a struggle. Sharks are numerous
OF the coast. but they are not known to
have eaten people alive.
The finding of the arm has excited the
fishermen 10 such an extent that they are
afraid TO venture very far from land.

The basis Of representation in the Nor

every 100 votes cast for Bryan in the last
election. In view of the fact that in Am

there were Irregularities in the returns
the committee decided TO give Amherst
Il delegates for the 1,516 votes returned;
Gloucester, 10 for the 4S4 votes returned.
and Charlotte II for the 1,0l1 votes in the
last election.
The number of delegates In the con-
ventiOn, as fixed by the returns, will be
/, i6O, but the addition of 2 from
Amherst, from Gloucester and l from
Charlotte makes the total 1,46S and this
does not provide for a single delegate
from Charles City County, which was
thrown out by the State Board of Can

convention will be further increased by
the addition of three delegates from that
county. which Will make the total in the

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing it's work.
