A Correction by Mrs. aitterman.


There seems to be an unfortunate slip in
the account of the District committee hear
Ing In The Star Thursday
did not accuse airy one of breach or
faith. and certainly did not use the words
"falsehoods' and Misrepresentation
Furthermore. I referred to the colored
kindergarten, not as Of personal knowledge,
but as something referred to in the school
hearings before that committee. Nor did l
speak of figures having been manipulated"
Our interest in the free lectures has al
ways been educational and not personal,
sociation has any but the kindliest feeling
toward every one concerned. One has only
to read the printed report OF the school
hearings to realize that In our attitude
there is no animus. only philosophical in
terest In all the educ atjonal needs OF our
home, the District of Columbia.

CLAIMS DAMAGES.
Count Boni de Castellane's Reply to
= - AFife's' Divorce. suit

Paris, Feb. z-Fstrong efforts con
time to be made in behalf of the
Castellane family 10 bring about the
abandonment Of the divorce suit be-
gun by the Countess Boni de CasteI-
lane, but UP to the present the desired
result has not been accomplished. An
attempt made to obtain the countess
assent to a judicial separation without
an absolute divorce has also been I'M
successful and probably the case will
be pursued in the ordinary course,
coming up for a hearing at no fixed
date, but it is expected that it viii be
heard three weeks hence.
According to the French law there
is no further necessity for the defend
ant to appear unless the judge decides
that his evidence is essential. The
pronouneenent of a decree dissolves
any contract relating to marriage set
tlement, each party resuming control
of his or her own property. A di-
vOrced woman may not remarry with-
in ten months after a judgment while
an appeal against j decision must be
lodged within six months.
A report which can not be con-
firmed says that Count Boni has en-
tered a counter plea claiming heavy
damages.

Of fertility was noticed eleven days after

Statement by the Courier.
The Winfield Courier makes the fol-
lowing statements about the matter:
Something of a sensation was caused
in council Monday night. when the may
or declared that the state school fund
commissioners were specializing. or
had speculate in the bonds of this city.
The last issue of the city funding bonds
$4,000 had been taken by the commits
siOners, at par, and then sold to outside
bond buyers at the very premium the
latter had offered the city direct
In discussing these affairs the mayor
made the sensational statement that
the state school fund commissioners had
used the power given them by law to
speculate, but whether they or the
school fund received the profit ne did
not know. The law requires the various
/
bonds to the school fund, which has the
right to take them at par. If rejected
by the fund.- outside bidders can take
them. The mayor said that the last is
sue of the city's funding bonds, $4,000,
had been bid in by John Nuveen & Co,
of Chicago, for a small premium, but
that the school fund commissioners rad
elected to take them at par. and had
taken them. They then sold the Donds
to John Nuveen & Co. at the premium
originally offered the city. For this rea-
son. the mayor urged that the interest
rate on all city bonds be made low
enough that they would bring no %rem-
ium.
THE clerk read a letter from Nuveen
& Co, in which they claimed the city
owed them $50 for attorney fee and for
blanks on which the bonds We're printed.
It was this brought out the statement
of the mayor. The clerk said that NJ. F.
King, agent of Nuveen & Co, had told
him personally that his house had
bought the bonds from the state that
way The claim of Nuveen & Co. was
unanimously rejected"
