arctic regions and became an authority on
the navigation of those waters. 1t was be-
cause of that fact that he chosen as
one of the officers of the Polarfs expedition
of 1871 fitted out by the government to find
the north pole. The unfortunate scientist
Charles Francis Hall was placed in COM
mand of the expedition. Capt. Tyson was

Left on Ice Floe.
In the fall of 1872 while the ship was
anchored near an immense ice foe, on
which Capt. Tyson and eighteen others
were hunting, the anchors were raised and
the ship sailed away, ana was subsequent
ly crushed in the ice in kanes Lfeboat
Cove, latitude IS degrees north. The party
from the ship spent the winter on that
spot, and were rescued the following sum-
mer by the Scotch whaler Ravenscraig
after they had made their way as far
south as Melville bay.
The nineteen members of the party who
had been left on the ice foe drifted about
in the Arctic ocean for 1876 days, suffering
awful hardships and privations from hum
ger. thirst and cold. Several members of
the party died from starvation and expos
ure, and the survivors were hardly alive
when finally rescued by Capt. Bartlett of
the Tigress, which had been sent north in
search of the Inflated Polaris. Capt. Tyson
was undoubtedly the hero of the expedi-

ability in overcoming the difficulties of the

Fireman's Mishap Delays Steamer.

AS one Of the colored firemen employed
aboard the steamer Estelle Randall at
tempted to go down the ladder into the
fire room Of the steamer yesterday morn
ing, as the vessel was on her way from this
city to Alexandria on her regular trip down
the river. he slipped, and to save himself
from falling grabbed a valve on the out
side of the boiler. The wrench and the
weight of the man on the long stem Of the
valve broke it of, allowing the steam to
leak from the broken part and temporarily
disabling the steamer. She succeeded in
reaching her landing place at Alexandria
and after being delayed about an hour and
a half, while the broken valve was being
replaced with new one, she resumed her
trip to Glymont and river landings. The
fireman was slightly burned by the escap-
ing steam. In consequence OF the accident
the steamer was over two hours late in
reaching this city yesterday evening on her
return trip.

Incurs Heavy Penalty.

Because Harry Edmunds colored, would
not climb a tree when ordered TO do so,
William Jackson, also colored, procured a
revolver from his house IL is alleged and
threatened to use 1t in blowing out the
brains" of Edmunds. Policeman Greene of
the tenth precinct was informed of the mat
ter and he arrested Jackson for carrying
concealed weapons. Judge kimball review
ed the circumstances in the Police Court
yesterday and ordered Jackson to pay a
fine OF 81 or spend ninety days on the farm.
Several boys were playing together. the
testimony showed, and at the order of
Jackson they climbed fences, tree boxes
etc When Eimunds was ordered to climb
a tree he refused. That caused the revolver
TO be brought into play.
After the report was made to the officer
he went to Jackson's home at 100 Kenyon
street northwest to arrest Jackson and as
the officer was entering Jacksons room on
the second floor the latter leaped from the
window and escaped. He was located and
arrested Wednesday night, however.

The Cardozo Dismissal.

To the Editor of The Star:
I have been frequently amused and often
angered at the arbitrary and unwarranted
assumptions Of authority by our recently
imported superintendent of schools and the
recent case of Mr.. Cardozo (whom do not
know leads me to enter feeble protest
against his actions In that and other
cases, all both unique and totally without
warrant OF either law. or equity, and total
ly indefensible.
. That board Of such apparent intelli-
gence should uphold and sanction such
outrages is beyond comprehension. al
though Admiral Baird, SO long subjected
to the rule of submitting to superior au ,,
thority, might be expected to promptly full
into line. That Mr.. H. E. Davis had a
perfect right. as representing Mr.. Cardozo,
to demand, insist on. and obtain full hear
ing and an impartial trial, no student Of
constitutional law can successfully dispute.
The right to criticise is inherent In every
citizen under our form Of government and
in consonance with our Constitution, to
say nothing OF custom and equity, no
teacher can be dismissed without a fair
and ample trial by the proper authorities,
and the recommendation Of the superinten-
dent Is nothing more than recommended
ton. and has no binding force on the
board, unless accompanied by absolute
proof Of the charges, of whose authenticity
the board should also be thoroughly salts
fed.
Even the congress, WIN all 1tS pOdSteQ
power, is utterly incapable Of legally pass
ing law at all inconsistent with the pro-
visions of our Constitution, as has been
frequently attested by the decisions of our
Supreme Court.
Hence, If the Congress even intended to
abridge the rights Of our public school
teachers, or any other citizens, such an
act would be invalid and without force
and therefore, a nullity. 1t Is true that
some lawyers differ in their interpreta-
ton Of the new school law and that yary-
ing opinions have been formed, but these
can be easily adjudicated by an appeal to
our courts, which Is the inherent right Of
rightful authority, but am insistent on re-
specting the rights of the humblest citizen
also. If these arbitrary assumptions in
power, SO utterly repugnant to both the
letter and the spirit Of our Constitution
are persisted in 1 hope some step will be
taken to stop and curb them, through re-
sort to our courts, even the Supreme Court
of the United States, If necessary.

The Third Madame Butterfly.

Nine. Louise Jannsen made her debut be-
fore a Washington audience yesterday af-
ternoon as the third representative of Ma
dame Butterfly in Mr.. Savage's production
of Puccini's opera of that name, and made
a favorable impression her audience.
Nine. Jannsen has had considerable expert
ence as singer and actress at the Paris
Grand Opera House and elsewhere in Eu-
rope, singing Wagnerian roles. and her ex-
perience was evidenced yesterday in her
portrayal of the deserted Japanese maiden,
carrying power.
All the Madame Butterflies in Mr.. Say
ages company have been found competent,
and, in fact, all the casts have been ar
ranged with good judgment. Miss Estelle
Bloomfield, who alternates with Miss
Behnee, has proved acceptable. Mr.. Feith,
the assistant conductor, has developed good
control over this force.

sending the child to school and Sarah told
her that her boy was working and that she
send him to school. She was notified in

then failed to put her child In school the
prosecution was entered. The defendant

to CO." she replied.

School at o'clock this afternoon.

in night school, and the case was continued
until Monday for further report as to what
she had done. -l..
Prosecuting Attorney Pugh recommended

per- also colored, as she had promised to
put her child in school.
In speaking of the cases, Judge kimball

Fears for Safety of Schooner.

Grave fears are felt In maritime circles
for the safety of the schooner Isabelle Gill,
owned in Baltimore, and long>overdue The
Gill sailed light from New York September
IL for Mayport, Fla, to load cargo of
lumber, but she has not yet reached that
port, though she should have been there
three weeks ago. Since the Gill left New
York there have been several severe hurri-
cans on the coast, and 1t Is feared she has
met with disaster in one OF these storms
Her owners are hoping that the schooner
was crippled and blown off the coast in one
of the storms, and that Capt. Collision is
working his way slowly back 20 some point
on the coast where he can communicate
with the owners. The vessel is owned by
Gray, Irelan & Co. of Baltimore.
