The National University.

AS a friend OF the proposed national
university I have been interested In the
committee Of fifteen" appointed at the
Washington meeting Of the National Edu-
cational Association, in $685. by the ma
tional council Of the association "a majori-
ty Of the committee being members of the
counciD to Investigate the entire subject
Of a national university and report to the
council"
A few months after its appointment this
committee adopted resolution to the eff
feet that national university was unde-
sirable and inexpedient, and this resolu-
ton was given the widest possible publici-
ty through the Associated Press, apparent
ly In order to create public sentiment
against the proposed institution. During
the next two and half years the commit
tee seemed to devote itself to devising a
permanent substitute for q national uni
versity, and these efforts were exploited in
like manner. Finally. the committee went
so far as to give to the country q summary
Of the substitute so devised. namely, the
Washington Memorial Institution, coz
poration representing the Washington
Academy of Sciences and the George w a sh-
aington Memorial Association. The commit
tee then presented its first and only report
to the council.
It thus appears that the committee of fif-
teen first abandoned it's judicial character
In order to become an advocate; secondly
consumed more than two-thirds of its time
In work which 1t had never been author
ICED to do; and finally, gave the results of
Its iabors to the public before 1t was either
parliamentary enough or courteous enough
to report to the body creating 1t. AS is
now well known, the findings and recon-
mendations of the committee were repu-
dated by an overwhelming vote both Of
the council and Of the association.
Perhaps the most complete presentation
OF the Washington Memorial Institution
aside from the report OF the COMMITTEES OF
fifteen, was given in Science for June 28.

fifteen reported at Detroit, by DIR. Chas d.

MOTORMAN FINED.
Convicted of Running HIS Car at Ex.
cessive Speed.


cessive Speed.
Joseph Newton, q motorman on the Ana
costa street car line, was IN Judge Mills
court this morning. charged with having
violated the law relating to the speed OF
street cars. 1t was alleged that his car
figured in a collision at 10th and q streets
southeast about IL AS o'clock Sunday night.
The car in question was crowded, 1t was
stated. and was going in the direction OF
Anacostia at the time the accident hap
pened. Witnesses living in the neighbor-
hood Of 10th and G streets were called by
Policeman Dent, who had made an inves-
tigation of the affair. It was stated by the
witnesses that the car was going at the
rate Of about twenty miles an hour.
II noticed the was crowded. and was
going so fast" said ]. H. Pool, and called
the attention of a neighbor to 1t. The
neighbor remarked, 1t looks like 1t was
shot out OF cannon. An instant later the
witness heard a crash, which Was followed
by screaming and shouting.
The next witness told the court that the
conductor was unable to stop his car until
11th street was reached. A horse that was
struck by the car was carried almost the
entire length Of the square. The fender
was smashed by the weight of the animal.
Witnesses said the car did not stop at 9th
street and none Of them heard the bell
sounded.
Newton denied that he was guilty of fast
running his car. He said he stopped at
9th street and his car could not have at
tanned the speed of twenty miles an hour
1t was his belief that his car was running
at the rate of about ten miles an hour
at the time the collision occurred. He ex.
planned that his brake staff was damaged
by the collision and he was unable 10 STOP

]. II. Johnson, conductor on the car also
gave testimony. He declared his car made
a stop at 9th street and said he knew II
was not making more than twelve miles an
hour.
Superintendent Ballinger explained the
damage to the car The brake staff he
said, was so badly damaged that 1t could
not be operated.

testimony Judge Mills reviewed the case

Girls I'm Public Schools,

From Woman's Home Companion.
For a century and half after the pub
lie schools were established in America
girls were not admitted TO them at all; in
the latter part OF the eighteenth century
they were allowed to attend from April to
October, the months when only little boys
were in attendance. and a cheaper and a
less competent teacher was employed After
the girls were given this extraordinary priyi-
lege of education the fathers of the var
ious towns began concerning themselves
with the amount of learning that the girls
might properly acquire On the records of
one old New England town is actually en-
tered this bit Of report from the annual

American Chemistry.

From EyeryDody's Magazine.
The chemical industries Of the United
States have made wonderful progress in
the past few years. The value Of their
products In 1890, according to Mr.. Henry
Bower. an authority on the subject. was
one hundred and seventy-seven million
dollars, an enormous increase over 1880.
and 1t Ii probable that the figures for 1000
will show an even greater gain, especially
through the utilization of by-products
which formerly were accounted OF no
value. This seems to show that the manu-
facturers of the country may in the near
future furnish much OF the fifty million
dollars worth of chemicals now annually
imported.

WHAT SHALL WE EAT
To Keep Healthy and StrOngf

A healthy appetite and common
sense are excellent guides to follow in
matters Of diet, and mixed diet of
gains, fruits and meats is undoubted-
ly the best, in spite of the claims made
by vegetarians and food cranks gener-
ally.
AS compared with grains and vege-
tables, meat furnishes the most nutri-
ment in a highly concentrated form
and is digested and assimilated more
quickly than vegetables or grains.
DR.. julius Rumesson on this subject
says: Nervous persons, people run
down in health and of low vitality
should eat plenty of meat. If the
digestion is too feeble at first it may
be easily strengthened by the regu-
lar use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
after each meal. Two OF these excel
lent tablets taken after dinner will
digest several thousand grains of
meat, eggs or other animal food In
three or four hours, while the malt
diastase also contained in Stuart's
Tablets cause the perfect digestion Oh
starchy foods, like potatoes, bread,
etc, and no matter how weak the
stomach may be, no trouble will pc
experienced If regular practice is
made of using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets because they supply the pepsin
and disatase so necessary to perfect di-
gestion. and any form OF indigestion
and stomach trouble except cancer
of the stomach will be overcome by
their daily use.
That large class of people who come
under the head of nervous dyspeptics
should eat plenty of meat and insure
it's complete digestion by the syste,
matte use of safe, harmless digestive
medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab.
lets composed of the natural digestive
principles, peptones and diastase,
which actually perform the work of
digestion and give the abused stom-
ach chance to rest and to furnish the
body and brain with the necessary
nourishment. Cheap cathartic med
icines masqueradiDg under the name
of dyspepsia cures are useless for re-
lief or cure of Indigestion because
they have absolutely no effect upon
the actual digestion of food.
Dyspepsia In all its forms is sim
ply failure of the stomach to digest
food and the sensible way to solve the
riddle and cure the indigestion is to
make daily use at meal time of a
safe preparation which is endorsed
by the medical profession and known
to contain active digestive principles,
and all this can truly be said of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
All druggists throughout the United
States, Canada and Great Britain sell
them at the uniform price of fifty cents
| for full treatment.

MOJESKA IN MARY STUART"
AS already announced, the play Sc
lected for Madame Modjcska's ap-
pearance here on Friday evening is
Schiller's great historical drama,
MARY Stuart" The selection is not
surprising, for all her many brilliant
achievements her portrayal OF Mary
Stuart, Queen of Scots, still remains
the most popular and most enduring
with her great following throughout
the entire country. A number OF
prominent actresses have distlng-
ulshed themselves in this character,
but no one has yet approached Mod
jeska's far famed portrayal. 1t
stands as an ideal in the public mind,
not likely to ever be shattered. The
veteran critic, William Winter, once
wrote: ITO see Modjeska play Mary
Stuart is a rare and sacred privilege,
an opinion which is by no means con-
fined to himself On this occasion
Modjeska will be assisted by the well
known stars, R. d. MacLean and
Odette Tyler, and a very brilliant sup
porting company, and the play will
have an unusually attractive stage
setting.

judging this drama from a theatrical
standpoint. The management prom
ises much in the way of scenery and
effects, and the company is said to be
a well balanced one.
