Considerable ice formed on the river

TO the Potomac were covered with a sheer

thoroughly chilled from the fall of snow in

this season the river has been entirely

protests against the license. the attorney
for the applicants stated it was not the
desire to operate the saloon as a money
making venture. but that it is impossible
to keep miners because they will not stay
where drink cannot be procured.
The attorney asserted the company had
lost heavily on account of this condition,
and offered to enter into written agree
ment to operate the saloon on a strictly
business basis and to turn the profits over
TO such charity as the court might direct.
This proposition was accepted and the

To Improve the Human Breed.


1t will be admitted that these are power
ful arguments in favor OF the mainte-
nance Of school children by a government
which profits to so large a degree upon
the intemperance of its subjects. and they
are used with effect upon parliament 1t
is also true. as many advocates of this
measure have urged, that the degeneracy
and brutality of the British workman and
his Incorporate habits are very largely
due to insufficient nourishment and lack
OF education in his childhood. If the gov
ernment can give the next generation a
good education mentally and morally and
warm clothing and sufficient nourishment
at the same time. 1t will be much more
competent to take care of itself and
to advance the interests of the kingdom
than If the, school children OF the pres
ent day are allowed to grow up as their

There are 5,s25, ,N43 children of school
age IN Great Britain and Ireland, ana
probably one-third of them require or
would accept government aid If such
bill were passed. No effort has ever been
made to ascertain how many families
would permit their children to be fed
and clothed at public expense. Many oil
them would consider 1T a humilfatlng
proposition. The number would probably
depend very largely Upon the manner In
which such maintenance were applied.
No one refuses the advantages of the free

portion of the children in Great Britain

But these details will have to be de-
termined in committee after the bill Is

unions, and is supported by many. poll

No one has suggested how the money
to pay this school bill is to be raised.

increase of $3.50 600 will be needed in

ON THE RIVER FRONT

The big four masted schooner Clara A.
Donnell, which brought cargo of about
1000 tons of ice to the Mutual ice wharf
at Alexandria. has completed the unload
ing of her cargo and is lying at the coal
docks at Georgetown to take aboard a
cargo of soft coal for port In New Eng
land. The Ronnell will be the first
schooner that has loaded coal at George
town this season. all the other shipments
having been made In the big barges of
the Consolidation Coal Company. 1t is
stated. however. that when the vessels
bring Ice from Maine ports to this city be-
gin to arrive next month numbers OF
them will be chartered to aid in moving
the Cumberla coal to the north, where
the bulk of the Georgetown coal is sold.

ter part of last week and was taken to
the mouth of the river. where she will
join tow going up the coast from Bal

Georgetown and will be ready TO sail in

The tide yesterday morning was unus-
ually high and came within a few inches
of the platforms of the lower piers along
the river front. 1t was several inches
over the sea wall OF the Potomac Park,
and all the low grounds the Virginia
side of the river in the vicinity of old
jackson City were flooded. No damage
was done, and as soon as the tide start
ed down the overflow ran off quickly.
The rivermen say that a heavy north
Wester always follows an unusually high
tide and they are looking for the wind
to come down at any time and blow con-
siderably cooler. II is stated that the
glasses aboard vessels in the harbor have
been falling for a northwest blow for
over twentyfour hours.

Paris Street Named After Franklin.

From Harper's.
Benjamin Franklin has caught the fancy
of France. Paris has named street aft
er him, has given him a park and set up
his statue therein. The other day an old
house was put up for sale. 1t stands In
the Faubourg Saint-Honore, at No 26 OF
the rue de Penthievre not far from the
rond-point of the Champs Elysees. 1t has
been inha bited by many notable people
for instance. Napoleon and Josephine,
Hortense de Beauharnais. Lucien Bona
parte; now the Parisians did not think
these folk worth considering. Only one
name was written on that house-the
name of Benjamin Franklin and above
the name is a medallion with his portrait
in stone. Fame falls as 1t will.
The court is the integer of Partisan life.
So shrewd an observer as Washington
Irving pointed out that fact nearly hun
dred years ago. He lodged, you may re-
member, at No. 4 in the rue du Mont
Thabor. The gray, undistinguished house
is quite unchanged today. What interest
ed him most was the court. 1t exhibited
for the old traveller the essential ways of
Paris. The old court has changed in
