And we in glad expectancy
Come forth in holiday array,
And raise tbs note of vernal glee.
But all that glitters is not gold.

When sunshine gilds an April day.

And we are left with none to blame
Except ourselves for trusting here

Guy, the Chinaman who runs restau-
rant on Washington avenue, asking for
a temporary injunction against the men,
bers of the Cooks and Walters union,

fore Judge Lochren in the federal court.
Kerr & Brown appeared for the union,

plaintiff
Afhdavits were presented on both sides;
the cooks pretended to show that they
were strictly within their right in stand
ing before the restaurant and handing
out cards to persons who would patronizs
the restaurant, asking them not to do so
on account of the cheap business methods
employed by the proprietor of the rest TAU
rant.
Wong Guy attempted to prove that vio-
lence had been used IN trying to keep
people from patronizing his place. He
also presented aftfdavits from some of
his help which state that they were Of
Tered other employment or pay from the
union if they would leave their present
employer. The case was continued today
until 10 O'clock. Lengthy arguments Will
be made by both sides in defense of their

Burglars Secure 500 Worth of jew

Burglars entered the residence of Ed

whole family were at home asleep. They
secured $500 worth of jewelry and $40 in
money. The money was in Mr. McGiIls

the trousers, as they made their escape

Advantage of the Special Section.
The graduating class at the Business
has many things TO boast of besides its
unprecedented size. During the two
years that the members OF the class have
been pupils OF the school the institu-
tion has undergone a number of import
ant changes. At the beginning OF the
present school term the course was
somewhat changed and enlarged by the
addition OF special section, a step
which had been under contemplation
for quite while. This change lends
considerable value to the course and
makes It accessible to many more pupils
than in the past BY the addition of
this special course pupils who have
successfully completed three years
study at any OF the other high schools
may enter the Business and take one
year course, with the same prospects
OF a diploma as the younger pupils Of
the prescribed two-year course. Owing
to this arrangement many young men
and women are enabled to obtain a
fairly comprehensive business education,
and at the same time take nearly a
colplete course In one of the other high
schools, who are unable to devote more
than four years to both.
In previous years pupils who had but
four years to devote to Il high school
education and wished to obtain the bene-
fits of both the academic OF scientific
course ana the business course were
Obliged to omit one or the other, usually
the latter. Now they may remain three
years in either the Eastern, Central. or
Western schools. thus obtaining the ma
ior portion Of the course there, and fin
ish up with an excellent one-year course
AT the Business, obtaining a diploma at
the latter institution just as though
they had remained four years at their
former school.
This year also has seen the number
of cadet companies at the Business in
creased from one to two. The number
of boys who desired 20 enter the mill
tary company at the first of the year
was so large, and the school spirit So

alIy Il was brought to the attention Of
the school board that Mr.. Davis was
turning out experienced and skillful
stenographers who could secure positions
anywhere, and the value of his work
was speedily recognized. Shorthand was
added to the regular curriculum, to-
gether with business arithmetic, com
mercial law and commercial geography.
The course was separated from the
scientific, and academic courses and
was thus made an Independent institu-
ton, with Mr.. Davis as Its principal
and sole teacher. During the first year
Of its independence this course was fol-
lowed by a section of thirty-two pupils
in the first year and section of twelve
In the second year.
From 1882 to 1889 the business course
was practically unchanged as to char
acter and location, but during the term
Iss9-90 the high school became SO
crowded that halliday session was for
many pupils necessity. To relieve this
condition the plan for separating the
Business from the other schools was
adopted. Consequently. on September

the business course. A second enlarge

iveness of its young lady graduates this
year, if it does not, as many persons
| insist hold first place.
Time was. several years back, when
the students of the other high schools,
with their more thoroughly equipped
and modern buildings, were inclined to
look down upon the young business
school, just springing into existence,
with patronage and pity. But that time
has passed. 1t is now unmistakably tine
turn of the Business students to look
down from superior heights upon those
who were inclined to scorn them in
other times. Their school has advanced
more rapidly than any other, until it is
now not onl:ythe largest, but one of the
most popular high schools in Washing
ton. And its graduates, even in the
few years which the oldest of them have
been out of the school, have consider
ably more to show as a whole for their
work than those of the other institu-
tions. The Business High School has in
deed come TO hold a remarkable place in
the community. Mr.. Davis dreams of a
model institution in which young men
and women may receive training for an
active business life are rapidly ma
turing into a magnificent reality; the
tiny spark which he kindled less than
fifteen years ago has been famed into
fame of wonderful power, and in it's
place now stands the Business High
School of today, which is yearly prov
ing of inestimable value to 600 or 700
students.

school in Washington was the Insertion
Of the study of bookkeeping in the or
dinary high school course during the
irst year of Its infancy in the Thomp-
son Building. This was done probably
in Difference to the growth in public
sentiment of the demand for the train
ing Of boys for business positions. as
well as for college careers. From 1877
TO 1852 the high school remained housed
in the Thompson Building. but during
the latter year it was removed to what
is now the Central High School build
ing. the original portion of which had
just uecn erected.
1t was at this time that Mr.. Davis,
who was then merely a subordinate
teacher in the school. recognized the
value of thoroughly practical business
course, and foresaw the wonderful ad
vantagcs which an institution devoted
to teaching shorthand and the va
rious sciences used in daily business
woulG possess. But the very thought
OF establishing such a school nj that
time was pre9ostcrous. Such thing
had never been tried, and no one could
be found who would put sufficient faith
In 1t to make its establishment possible
furthermore. there was no money what
ever in the hands of the School Board
to pay additional teachers in order to
add even few of these studies to the
curriculum.
Nothing daunted. Mr.. Davais perse-
vered in his determination to found a
cchool purely for business training. and
a. no aid could be secured in the enter
rIise. he took the responsibility upon
lis own shoulders, and without cent
OF extra pay devoted several hours

regular high school course to the for
