WILL Be USED AS BARGE
Machinery to Be Removed
From the Burned Steamer
River Queen.

| The old steamer River Queen, which
4 was burned to the hull some weeks age
and which is lying at the wharf foot of Il
| street southwest. is to have her machin
cry removed so that her hull can be con.
verted into a coal-carrying barge. The
| vessel Is a historic old craft and is the
last of fleet of steamers built about the
time of the civil war. that had u reputa-
tion for beauty of line and speed that is
| seldom surpassed by the steamboats, OF
these modern days.
The River Queen was the product of a
shipyard at keyport. n. J., and was
launched in 1864. She was at once pur-
as transport until the end of the civil
war. when she was placed in commercial
service During the war she saw service
on the Potomac and was the handSomest
vessel Of the transport fleet in local
waters.
For this reason she was selected to con-
vey President Lincoln and the peace
commissioners from Washington to City
Point, on the James river. where they
were to meet similar commission rep
resenting the Confederate states, but
nothing came Of the meeting. For more
than a year she carried troops and war
supplies to the army operating about
Richmond. and at the close OF the war left
the Potomac for northern waters.
Ran to Mount Vernon.
About twenty-five years ago the vessel
was purchased by the Mount Vernon and
Marshall Hall Steamboat Company. and
ran excursions to Marshall Hall and on
a mail route to Glymont, in connection
with the old steamer George W. Corcoran
and later with the Charles Manchester.
When the cd Mount Vernon and Mar
shall Hall Company changed hands about
ten years ago the River Queen was pur-
chased by a local company. which placed
her in the colored excursion business on
the river. and in that business she re-
manned until she was practically destroy

Five hundred more school children at

were counted present on the first school
day OF 1910. In all the schools counting
the high school there we're 1885. The hg-
ures for 1910 we're 1883. At the high school
I. ais OF the more than 1000 students we're
present.
Only in the north part of the city are the
schools congested and in those districts
new additions are being built. Lothrop and
Saratoga are the two worst crowded schools
and there seems to be no chance OF rehet
unless some pupils are transferred. In
Monmouth park district the pressure Will
soon be relieved by the opening OF new
addition Of eight rooms. The only school
in the south part of the city which Is
badly crowded Is Windsor and that will
also have q new addition within few
months.
Many Would Change schools.
The office of the superintendent OF in

ever, and children of years are not ad-
