PUBLIC NIGHT SCHOOLS.
Opening Session to Be Held This Even
ing at 7:3O O'Clock.

The city's public night schools open for
class work this evening sessions beginning
at 100 O. clock and closing at $50 o'clock
The buildings will be open each Monday,
Wednesday and Friday evening during the
above named hours for forty nights. Six
schools will be open to the public. The
white schools are: Gales, New Jersey ave-
nue. and G street northwest; Franklin, 18th
and X streets northwest; Greenleaf AZ
street between NJ and N streets southwest
The last named will be the only white
school IN which classes In manual work
will be formed. The manual work in which
one may be instructed at Greenleaf are
wood burning, wood carving millinery can
ing, weaving, iron bending and cooking
The usual academic work. reading, writing
arithmetic. typewriting and bookkeeping
may also be had at Greenleaf. The other
schools Franklin and Gales, will teach only
the academic studies.
The colored schools are: Stevens 21st and
l. streets northwest; Randall. Delaware
avenue and ] streets southwest; Cook, o
street between 4th and 9Th streets north
west. At Cook, the manual branches alone
will be handled At Stevens and Randall
the academic work and cooking may be had
These schools afford the only opportunity
on general scale-that the city affords
for working boys and girls to obtain ad-
vancement in scholastic work without ex
pense, Up to this year men and women as
schools privileges, but this year owing to
q distinctly erring regulation of Congress
only those under twenty-one are admitted.
This will work very great hardship and
will doubt be removed as a clause in
night school rulings during the coming SEES
sion.
AS previously published the enrolment
for the night schools Is about completed,
but registration will continue at each of
the buildings from to o'clock the open
ing night.
A complete list of the teaching corps for
the coming term follows: Raymond Rior-
don, director (office, Greenleaf building); F.

SEXTON COMMITS SUICIDE.
hangs Himself in Belfry of Church
Where He Had Served Ten Years

suspended from a rope in the belfry
at trinity Methodist Church last night
was found the body of Edward Krantz.
who had served as sexton of the church
during the past five years. That the man
who had served the congregation so faith
FULLY had deliberately ended his own .ife
there was no doubt There was nothing
about the place of worship to indicate that
ne was the victim of foul play. Life had
left the body some time before Gao o'clock
when Mr. Andrew Hancock made the
CHASTITY discovery
Last night was the first time in five wears
that krantz had disappointed the members
OF the congregation by failing to open the
church on time and when Mr. Hancock
found the edifce had not been lighted at
the usual time he started on tour OF in
Vestigation. Naturally he started his in
Vestigations at the switchboard. and later
went to the belfry. Reaching the belfry
he made light and then discovered that
he had almost walked against the dead form
or the sexton. 1t was apparent that life
was extinct. but in order that no mistake
might be made physician was summoned,
and then the police were called to the
church.
The body was taken from the belfry after
the coroner had been notified and removed
to the late home of Krantz $40 4th street
southeast. 1t is known Krantz had gone
to the church at 6 o'clock in the morning,
and 1t is believed he committed the deed
soon after reaching there. He cut piece
from rope he found in the church and
tied 1t to the top round of the ladder from
which his body was found suspended.
The deceased was sixty-seven years old,
and had been prominently identified with
church work in Southeast Washington for
number of years. He was a man of reg
ular habits. and it was not until day
last week that he was suspected Of intem-
perance. There was something about his
demeanor yesterday morning to indicate
that he was in trouble. He was not the
pleasant, laxative man he had been dur
Ing all the ten years of his employment
about the church. His manner caused re-
marks to be made by some of his friends,
but nobody suspected that he contemplated
taking his life Had he not shown signs
of meancholia early in the day his friends
would never have believed he had ended
his life. Coroner hewitt gave the
usual death certificate.

TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY.
Rev. Honrighaus Holds Special Ser
vices in Commemoration.

Rev. Alfred Homrighaus of Zion Lutheran
Church, at 9Th and streets northwest yes
terday celebrated his twentieth anniversary
as pastor Of that church In the exercises
of the evening five local clergymen partici-
pated and spoke in complimentary terms of
Rev. Mr.. Homrighaus and his work during
the past twenty years. Among the visiting
clergymen who made short addresses were:
Rev. John NJ. Schick, pastor of Grace Re
formed Church, the Presidents pastor; Rev
]. G. Butler of the Luther Place Memorial
Church, Rev. George V. Leech, D. D., a
superannuated minister of the Methodist
faith once pastor of Grace Church; Rev. L.
NJ. Kuhns and Rev. F. w. Moot pastor Of
st. PauPs English Lutheran Church.
The anniversary sermon was preached to
the congregation Sunday week ago, but
on account of the unpropitious weather
number of pastors in the city suggested
that platform meeting be held yesterday
when appreciation of the pastors work
might be shown in public manner.
According to the history of the church.
twenty years ago the congregation Of Zion
Lutheran Church, through financial straits
was about to lose its place of worship. At
the auction Rev. J. G. Butler and Mr. Geo
Ryneal bought the property, and, it is said
were influential in having Rev. Mr.. Homrig-

young men who sat there, schooled in an
etiquette whose first lesson was that of
personal courage.

THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE.
Resolutions Adopted by National En-
campment G. A. R,

The question of the proposed memorial
bridge across the Potomac came up for con-
slderation before the Grand Army encamp-
ment Friday afternoon on report from
the committee on resolutions. The matter
was under discussion the day before and
was placed in the hands Of the committee.
Those most interested in the question
worked earnestly to secure an expression
from the encampment in favor Of the bridge
taking the form of a memorial to the men
in the ranks of the Union forces from 1851
to 1865. This was the pivotal idea i'm
pressed upon the committee, which reported
accordingly, and the report was unani-
mouSly adopted.
1t was the declaration of the committee
expressed in preamble that whereas much
has been done in this capital city of the ma
ton In commemoration Of distinguished Of
ficers of the civil war; by the erection of
their statues, and, furthermore, the fact re-
manning that not stroke has been given
nor brick laid in distinctive honor of the
men in the ranks. and that there has been
great unanimity of opinion among all
classes that 1t would be most fitting that
the memorial at the national capital to the
memory Of the rank and file of the soldiers
and sailors of the civil war would be
bridge connecting this city with the ma
tional cemetery at Arlington; Furthermore,
that in recent years Secretaries Of War
Daniel S. Lamont, Russell A. Alger and
Elfhu Root have repeatedly and continu-
ousy recommended the same while Presi-
dent Mckinley and President Roosevelt
have in the most positive language in
dorsed the project and whereas Congress-
March 3, 1899, made an appropriation of
5000 for the purpose of procuring designs,
calculations and estimates for such a
bridge. therefore the encampment was
asked to unqualfiedly indorse the said
project, which. as above stated was done,
In the resolution adopted the words of
President Mckinley on the subject were
used, that the bridge would be a con-
venience to all the people from every part
of the country who visit the national GEM
etery, an ornament to the capital of the ma
