The Mckinley Industrial School.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
I beg to state through The Evening Star
that at an informal meeting Of the trustees
of the William Mckinley Industrial School
1t was decided to abandon the school prop
erty. on which mortgage rests. Inc
school has had struggle to pay for the
property and last month it was decided to
surrender it. The present school term
closes on the Goth instant, and the next
term will begin September 1. at which time
we will have suitable buildings to carry on
our work. There is no difference of opinion
among the trustees, officers and teachers
of this school. We feel confident that this
work will succeed. The loss Of a building
is only temporary, and will not incOnve-
nfence the work of the school. Our school
has no endowment, and is supported by
voluntary subscriptions. We feel grateful
to our white and colored friends of the city
of Alexandria who have aided us by their
subscriptions and cheerful words.
In addition to our school here we have
secured a tract of land, four miles from
the city, which will be known as an agri-
cultural annex. 1t will be worked this
summer. and regularly thereafter, as
feeder to our school.
First Baptist Church, had no right in law
to misrepresent our work No one con-
nected with our. school gave assent to call
such a meeting, neither was any one au-
thoriZed to interfere with our corporal e
rights. The meeting resolved itself in
committee to wait on Mr. Harlow for some
purpose. Mr.: Harlow has his property, or will
have 1t. for SALE We hope the committee
will buy. and IL they want to start another
Industrial school, more the merrier We
know of the ''thankIess job" while strug-
Cling to place 1T beyond want, and If others
are going in to try their hands they will
be kept busy to mind their own business.

A Handy question.

Joseph Chamberlain was deliver
ing political speech in Birming-
ham, England. The hall was SO
packed that not another human be-
ing could have crowded in. The
enthusiasm was tremendous, but
suddenly scowling man arose in
the middle Of the crowd.
"What did Mr.. Gladstone say in
1872w he howled.
'Shame!" ''Put him out!" yelled
the crowd.
Three sturdy men hurled the in
terrupter a few yards, and others
helped hustle him to the street.
As he was picking himself up and
brushing off the dust he grinned
pleasantly at a man who had follow
ed him from the hall and who ask
ed, "What did Mr.. Gladstone say in
1872 2"
81 don't know" he replied, "and
I don't care. / had a terrible tooth
ache, and | couldn't butt my way
through that crowd, and the only
thing to do was to get thrown out." "

In Case Of Poison.

When any one is accidentally poi
soned and you are not sure Of the
antidote give an emetic of some
kind Immediately. Mustard and salt
are two things found in every house
hold, but bottle ofipecac costs lit
tie and is better than either and
should always except in the house.
II mustard is to be used put des-
sertspoonful in glass Of lukewarm
water and make the patient take
two or three glasses. Then by tic
king the throat with the. finger
vomiting is certain. The dose should
be repeated in about ten minutes
so that the stomach may be thor
oughly emptied, No matter what
the poison, remember, the thing you
should do is to give an emetic.

The Beginning of Trouble.


A disordered stomach may cause
no end of trouble. When the
stomach fails to perform it's functions
the bowels become deranged and the
liver and kidneys congested, caus-
ing numerous diseases, the most fatal
of which are painless therefore more
TO be dreaded. The important thing
is to restore the stomach and liver to
a healthy condition, and for this
purpose no better preparation can be
used than Chamberlaiu's Stomach
and LIVER Tablets. For sale by j.

GLASS VESSELS DISSOLVE.
They Are Materially Affected by Wa.
ter and Other Liquids.

They Are Materially Affected by Wa.
ter and Other Liquids.
It is well known that glass has
now almost completely replaced
metal, horn and leather for the bot
tie OF drinking cup, although 1t is
not so very long ago that the leath-
er bottle and horn drinking cup
were extant. Whether this change
could possibly have introduced any
prejudice to the common health is
an interesting matter for specula-
ton. 1t is not true, though it is COM
monty supposed to be SO, that glass
is unattached or completely undis-
solved by water and many other
fluids in household use. On the
contrary, the indelible marks which
often appear on water bottle arise
from the action Of the water upon
the glass. Pure distilled water,
showing neither an acid nor an al
kaline reaction, which has been al
lowed to remain in a closed glass
bottle for some time will gradually
develop an alkaline reaction owing
to the base of the mixed silicate Of
the glass dissolving in the water.
At the same time a deposit Of silica
will generally be found at the bot
tom. This obviously shows dis
ISOLATION of constituents and the
glass yields up it's silica and it's al
kali to water.
With acid fluids the same action
may be observed, and it is conceiv-
able that with acid wines kept long
in bottles some considerable action
upon the glass may occur. Weak
acid solutions cease to be acid after
being kept in glass bottles for some
time owing to the naturalization Of
the acids by the alkali of the glass,
and at the same time a flocculent
and generally iridescent deposit is
found in the bottle consisting of
silica. This deposit is a constant
source of trouble to druggists.
Though the glass dissolving power
of most fluids in domestic use must
be very small, yet, considering that
these fluids are continually in con-
tact with glass, either in the bottle
or the tumbler, there can be little
doubt that traces Of the constitu-
ents Of glass are ingested. It has
even been suggested that the prac-
tically universal use of glass in this
way in the place Of the old drink
ing vessels Of wood or horn or of
the glass bottle for the leather or
skin vessel has contributed means
of rendering the vermiform appen-
dix easily liable to an infammatory
process by the irritation set up by
siliceous particles. This ingenious
theory Of the increased prevalence
of appendicitis being due to the uni
versal use Of glass for drinking YES
sells can hardly be seriously regard
ed when it is considered that silica
is a frequent constituent of num-
Der of foods. AS is well known, sill
lea is the support Of the wheat stalk,
as lime associated with phosphates
is Of the human frame.-Scientifc
American.

why He Paid.

Lord Alvanley in the first part of
the last century had duel with
political opponent, but nobody was
hurt. His lordship was so pleased
at returning without injury that he
paid his hackney coachman with q
Hberality that surprised the latter,
and on the man remarking that it
was more than his due for driving
him that distance Lord Alvanley
replied, 'Tt is not for carrying me
there. but for bringing me back
