st. Petersburg, June 30.-No word

later than June 27, and not a single
newspaper dispatch from the front

twenty-four hours ending at noon to-
day. This silence is regarded as the
sign of a coming storm. The BOursen

ENGLISH PRACTICAL EDUCATION.
Girls to Be Taught How to Take Care

by the London women's Industrial Coun.
Gil to establish schools for training girls IN
the care of children will probably be car
ried out on wider scale thar was antici-
psted by the promoters. The scheme has
met with exceptional favor among British
educationalists. and when the London
county council elections are over and the
new educational authority is at work a
resolution on the subject is to be brought
forward The idea Of the council was that
such training should be for girls of the
working classes. but the general feeling OF
the meeting was that some provision ought
to be made for those OF the upper and mid
die classes The opinion among school au-
thorities Is strongly favorable to making II
compulsory for all girls, and 1t Is on these
lines that the resolution will be framed.

which they had themselves conferred in
the conservation Of the public peace.
It was Major Webb's custom to be at his
office at o'clock each morning to receive
the reports of the sergeants, and there
were often present members of the board.
So much however, devolved upon him that
1t was next to- impossible to have regular
business hours but he was always repre-

Major A. C. Richards succeeded to the
charge of the force in December, 1858, and
for fifteen years exercised the executive
control, to January. 1878.
To those who are conyersant with the
history of the latter days of the war of the
old corporation, the emancipation of the
negroes and the wild scenes during our
local elections, it need not be said that he
had a most varied experience, bringing out
qualifications of rare possession.
Major Thomas p. Morgan followed Major
Richards as chief Of police, holding the po-
sition till November. 1873, when he became
Commissioner OF the District. During his
incumbency. in June. 1878. the present
organic act for the government of the Dis
trict was approved. becoming effective July
1, and the duties OF the board passed 10 the
District Commissioners.
During seventeen years the board of COM
missioners of police had many changes in
it's membership, and 1t is stated that but
one commissioner died in service. Mr.. Butt.
AS a rule much time was consumed in
office work, and in instances invaluable
service was given. As has been stated, the
mayors were ex officio members, and the
powers of the corporation having, by the
act of February q. 1871, lapsed. the ex-
ecutors of the District, Governors Cooke
and Shepherd, were ex officio members.

work, some giving attention to one branch
and some to others.
Mr. Gideon served as president most of
his term and was one of those who looked
