Commissioner Macfarland and Others
Deliver Addresses.

In the presence of District Commissioner
Macfarland, officials Of the public schools
and citizens, with its broad Railways fam
ing with the foliage of autumn. forming a
setting for the American colors, the Ben
jamin G. Orr public school building, at Car
roll and Prout streets, In Twining City. was
dedicated this forenoon to its educational
mission.
Marshaled on the two stairways Of the
building were the pupils Of the school, while
grouped below were the guests. Prominent
ly displayed in the entrance hall was por-
trait of Benjamin Grayson Orr, for whom
the building is named, and who was Wash
ingtons mayor in 1S17-1819.
DR.. Richard Kingsman of the public
school board presided at the exercises.
After ninety childish voices had united in
singing Heroes of Our Lord" DR.. King
man introduced Commissioner Macfarlaud.
Mr.. Mcfarland told his auditors that he
was exceedingly glad to be present, the
scene being so beautiful, and the decora-
lions so admirable and striking. Con-
tinuing, he told the boys and girls to love
the flag that they had so beautifully en-
twlned about the school.
Proceeding, he commented on how small
and poor Washington must have been when
Mayor Orr lived and said that during his
term he had established the right to the
honor of having public school OF the Dis
trict named for him. He concluded by com
on the possession Of such a handsome
school house..
The pupils next sang Columbia. the Gem
of the Ocean," which was followed by the
salute to the flag. Superintendent A. T..
Stuart Of the District public schools was
then called upon. In Mayor Orr's time, he
stated, there were two public schools in
the District where now there are 1877 and
there were two teachers, whereas the num-
Der now exceeds 1901.
He noted the fact that in proportion to
the number Of pupils attending there was a
larger representation of citizenship at the
dedication of the Twining City building
than at any of the other new buildings.
Proceeding, Mr.. Stuart paid high compli-
ment to Miss A. r. Williams. the principal
OF the building, and in few pleasing re-
marks presented to her the keys Of the
school house.
DR.. Kingsman then returned thanks to the
parents of the school children for taking so
much interest in the dedication Of the build
ing. The entire gathering next rendered

the coal road presidents in New York last
We X. Mr.. Hammerling came in hurriedly,
stayed but a short time, and left without
giving information to any one. 1t is evil
dent that he carried a message to Mr.
Mitchell from some one.
one of the local leaders who came in
from the autlying territory made this state
ment In the hotel lobby:
The men rule are angry at the prop
osltion made by the operators. They say
they would rather go down to straight de-
feat than surrender to the operators on
the arbitration plan they propose"
This, however, must not be taken as the
sentiment of all the men. There are many
nho see ray of hope in the situation. A
disposition is shown among many to trust TO
the good offices OF the President OF the
United States
Nichols and Fahy Arrive.
District Presidents Nichols and Fahy ar
rived here from Boston at 2:3o pm. They
had been addressing meetings in the inter-
est OF the miners.
Mr.. Nichols had nothing to say, but when
Mr.. Fahy was asked what he thought %
the new turn OF affairs, he said
The strike cannot be settled without tGe
consent Of the men. We are not dealing IT
gold bricks of any kind"
DO you mean by that that the operators
arbitration plan is not acceptable?' he was
asked.
Make any deduction you want to-" he
replied.
Objection to Clauses.
Objection is also expressed to clause 3.
which. the strikers say, limits the Presi-
dent of the United States to select judge
from about four men. In fact, the element
against the latest offer Of the operators
pick flaws in every clause of the new offer.
Those in favor of the plan feel that Presi
dent Mitchell should accept 1t and trust to
President Roosevelt to make the board or
commission impartial it is in his
power to do under the conditions laid down
by the operators.
They do not favor counter proposition,
as Is being suggested by those against the
latest plan, on the ground that it would do
which the miners think is with them. to
turn toward the operators.
The best judgment of those who have
been associated with President Mitchell
through the strike men who have watched
his every action and talked with him pri-
vately. is that the arbitration plan is I'M
satisfactory to him. Owing to the ire
both sides to end the conflict 1t is not
improbable that the miners leader will
waive his objection and advise that the
proposition be accepted.
The three district presidents are not here.
but they are on their way to this city They
will hold a conference Immediately after
they all arrive. There is some talk that
joint convention of the three anthracite dis
trictS may be called and the whole matter
laid before the miners themselves.
The situation summed up briefly, is still
mixed but the outlook for an ending of the
strike at no very distant date is regarded
as hDDeful

FATALLY INJURED
TRAGIC DEATH OF WELL-KNOWN
WASHINGTON WOMAN.
Falls Down Stairway at Sanitarium In
Ontario, Canada, Fracturing
Her Skull.

Information reached this city late last
evening of the tragic death Of Mrs q. ..
Lovett, a longtime resident of Washington,
which occurred at a sanitarium at Cobourg'
Ontario where a daughter, Miss Chariotte
Lovett, was a patient. During the past
summer Mrs. Lovett and her daughter nave
occupied a cottage in Cobourg. where they
had gone in the hope of improving the lat
ter's health
Mrs. Lovett, it is said. had intended to re-
turn to this city about the first OF the
hone that the condition Of the patient might
improve sufficiently to stand the long ana
tedious journey home. Accordingly apart
ments were taken last week at santa
rum at that place and THURSDAY iast .nelr
effects were removed to that institution.
This morning, 1t Is stated. Mrs. Lovett lelt
her room with the intention Of going to the
BATH but by mistake she opened the door
from which stairway led to the GROUND
floor.
The mistake was not noticed by Mrs.
Lovett, and she stepped In and fell to the
bottom Of the stairs, falling upon her head.
A severe fracture OF the Skull Skull, resulted
Mrs. Lovett had a large acquaintance In
this city, and was known as lady of the
most pleasing manners. She resided Tor
sachusetts avenue. During the stay at Co.
burg, Mrs. I.ovett and her daughter became
universally respected. not only by the large
number of Americans at the resort, but by
the citizens generally. Owing tc the severe
shock incident upon the sudden and ter
rible death of her mother Miss Lovett Is
at present in precarious condition.
Remains to Be Brought Here.
AS Washington has long been the home
of Mrs Lovett, it is thought by her friends
that the remains will be brought here at
once where the funeral and interment will
take place. Mrs. Beeman, daughter of
the deceased, whose residence is at 22OS
Massachusetts avenue, Is not in the city,
and nothing definite can be ascertained from
the acquaintance of the family as to the
final arrangements.
Mrs. Lovett was a widow and had resid-
ed for ten years at the Massachusetts ave-
nue. home. She owned the house in which
she resided as well considerable other
property in the neighborhood. The lot on
which her house stands is a part of the
kalorama farm. which was cut into build
ing lots about twelve years ago. Mrs.
Lovett was the daughter of the late Rear
Admiral Charles S. Boggs. U. 8. N.
