Der this year. against III, 81 last year.
also probably inspired some selling. The
market eased of shortly after the call
and during the middle Of the morning was
nervous and unsettled within a point or

countered below the closing figures of
Saturday and after having shown a net
loss of about 3 to points the market
became somewhat steadier on covering by
early sallers. Prices at midday were 4

CHEVY CHASE SCHOOL OPENS.
More Than Eighty Children Enroll

More than eighty pupils presented them
selves at 8 o'clock this morning for en-

the school commissioners of Montgomery

who were practically debarred from con-
tinuing their course at the District

recently enacted District appropriation
act
For the present. until permanent quar-
ters can be obtained. the school commits
sioners have rented dwelling on Della
ware street, between Raymond and Shep-

but there is good prospect that before
the school year is out a permanent build

a lot that has been offered for the pur-
pose by Senator Newlands
DIR. Ryan Devereux of Chevy Chase.
one of the school commissioners of Mont
gomery county, supervised the division
of the> children into the various grades,
assisted by the teachers. He expressed
the opinion that before the end of the
week there would be over hundred
children entered in the school, judging
from reports made to him.
Three young woman teachers, all OF
them graduates of normal schools, with
experience in teaching, have been hired,
and in all probability the number will be
increased within a few days. Modern
equipment has been installed.

sented by several officers and members,
among them being Thomas E. Robertson,

Tickets. But It Carried Passengers.
'oreign Correspondence of The Star.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star.
INTERLAkEN, August 2S. 1872.
The advertising genius of one of the
Swiss mountain hotels near Lucerne re-
Gently divsed the scheme of sending out
a balloon, attached to which were tick
cts for free trips and free meals This
apparently harmless advertisement. how
ever, had an almost tragic sequel. A
number of peasants in the Wolfenschies-
sen valley. seeing a Lalloon lowering
above their heads. fetched their military
service rifles and opened fire on it in order
to bring down the supposed free tickets
Unfortunately the balloon was a pas
senger one which had ascended from
Lucerne. The aeronauts luckily came to
earth unharmed. but the marksmen We're
taken into custody.
