STEAMER NEEDS REPAIRS.
Vessel in Coast Survey Service
Taken to Baltimore.

The old steamer Endeavor OF the
United States coast and geodetic sur
vey service is at Baltimore for repair
work which, according to the bids re-
ceived by Capt. Boutelle. master OF the
vessel, will cost the government $e27.50
this being the lowest of several bids
submitted for the work to be done to
the vessel. On the approval OF the
coast survey authorities here the work
will be started on the vessel.
Fer several years past the Endeayor
has been employed in survey work on
Chesapeake bay and its tributaries and
when the work on her is completed she
will return to bay point for service
Before the advent of the newer and
more modern ships in the coast survey
service the Endeavor did duty in prac-
tically every harbor from PASSPORT to
Key West and in the gulf and was re-
garded as most efficient vessel She
was last employed in survey work on
the western shore of Chesapeake bay
in the vicinity of Tangier Island, and
1t is said 1t Is at this point she will re-
turn when again ready for service
The Endeavor a few years ago made
a survey of the Potomac from Point
Lookout to this city and the charts
now issued are based on data gathered
at that time.

Teachers to Attend Funeral.

One hundred and fifty teachers and or
ficials Of the local public schools. who
served under Mr.. Wilson, and who had
planned to honor him yesterday, on the
ei3hty-sixth anniversary Of his birth, are
today arranging to attend his funeral
sevices next Wednesday. Expressions OF
regret were to be heard throughout the
entire local school system because OF the
death of the man who. it is said, laid the
foundation for the organization OF the
school system as it is today.
AS mark of respect the flags on every
public school building in Washington
were at half-mast this morning, and will
remain at half-mast until after the fu-
neral services.
A, I. Stuart. superintendent of schools,
said today that Mr.. WILSON was the
master organizer Of the school plan as
il exists today
MIR. Wilson was severely practical in
ideas Of school administration and de-
velopment," said Mr.. Stuart. 'He started
the movement for adequate school houses.
Four years before he came, in 1858. a
report of the board of education said,
that not a single schoolroom, owned or
rented. in the city was adequate as a
schoolroom.' In 1862, when he became
connected with the schools the building
campaign started.
1t was largely to his energy first as q

Situated on the one-time floor of an ex-
tinct volcano. of which the surrounding
mountains were the walls, perched so
high above the sea as to make it the
highest capital on earth, Mexico City Is
indeed distinctive. With its days SO warm
that linens are not out of place, and its
nights SO cool that an overcoat is COM
Portable; with its new American section
squalid as to make the East Side in New
York seem fairly clean: with its wonder
full Paseo de la Reforma block wide
and its San Francisco avenue only twen-
ty-five feet from curb to curb: with its
social queens whose beauty is that Of a
thousand years of culture. and its bare
footed Indian queens whose charm is that
of the wilderness: with its cotton-trous-
cred poems and its fashionable tailored
gentlemen. Mexico City reflects all the
lights and shades Of life.
And it is a most cosmopolitan city.
Walk along it's streets and within a sin
gle block one may see a London clothing
store, German hardware store, a French
jeweiry store, an American drug store, a
Spanish wine store, Canadian bank and
a Mexican tobacconiSt's shop. Go into
one of its fashionable restaurants and
one will seem to have walked into a con-
gress of nations. Here is a continental
pair wearing flashing diamonds and drink
ing sparkling wine; there a New England

as a Puritan. At another table is a

scene in this way: painters Of canvas
and sculptors of stone! Students of Ian
