"It Is provided 4n the Uwtmt a person.
cannot bold the offtoeof soperintendent of
schools unless he has had successful ex
jperlenoe n-NWo three years of the time of
Jils election. The spirit of this provision
Is, that a superintendent must be a profes
sional teacher not a laxoytr, doctor, min
itttr or a member of some other profes
sion, desiring to hold the office until a way
opens to fnage fa something else.
"The ofllco at superintendent of schools
belongs to the teachers; tt fc&s to do with
teachers, and should al trays be filled by
teacher. If directors can find In county
a. leather devoted to his profession, wlto
always attends institutes, who reads works
on teaching, who advocates common
schools, who, like RIchter, 'loves Goi! and
Mile children;' who. In short, Is something
of an enthusiast in -his work; lie, In nil
probability, Is the man to make superin
tendent of the 'work of education, even
though he has not been to college.
"Superintendents ought to be paid liber
al salaries. Their work, when well done,
is both delicate and difficult. Good officers
can hardly be paid too much, and we had
better have none at alt than poor ones,
The judges of onr courts and olheT comity
officers In many counties receive generous
salaries; why should not well-qtulided
superintendents of schools be as liberally
paid? In view of the wholo subject, school
directors are roosl earnestly advised to
elect as superintendents the ten bcsl men
in thetr tezcral counties whose scrtlces can
be obtained, hate it understood that they
are to detote thetr whole time to Vie irorl;

what they are required to do. It Is In till

Is what we, or rather the 15,000,000 of us
who drink, spend every year for beer and
whiskey. The wine bill is not Included In
this vast sum. Seven hundred million dot
lars makes an expenditure of $40 for each
drinker, or about $12 for every man woman
and child In the land.

makes nearly two glasses too many. Tlint

At ten o'clock Wednesday morning Lieut.
Danenhower was discovered In his quarters
at the Annapolis Naval Aeadcitiy, dead,
shot In the head by pistol In his own
hands, while 'Insane. Tied to a button on
his coat was a tag with the following:
"Send- me to ray brother at Washington."
This brave and gallant officer and explorer
who so nobly brayed the perils of the
"briny deep" has lost his life as direct a
sacrifice to Arctic reseaich as if he had
been drowned in the whale boat which he
saved from swamping by bis splendid sea
manship. Theit arc few tales more insplr
fng in our naval history, full as It Is of
skillful, cool-headed daring, than the ad
justinent by him while unable to see of the
floating out-rlgeer which enabled his boat
to ontlive the storm in which she was so
nearly, overturned. If Arctic exploration
does sot always setui worth theso sacri
fices, the heroism; which It breeds is some
compensation for the- losses of a dangerous
service in which, every man- is a volunteer
and which has never lacked for .recruits.
War Is it likely to while the reward given
General Greely reminds every man In both
services that the Cbfof ottH Signal Service
won his rank by defending his eoumand

ant Danenhower, it must be remembered,
too, was a man not altogether sound before
he startsd, and the terrible strain of Arctic
cold am) privation, In justice to all con
oerned, ought never to be faced by any but
those physically and mentally sound.

overworked Assemblymen taok fotwanl to
the arrival of the above date. How happily
they anticipate along season of rest nnd
recreation after fijno months' battlo with
bills and measures, great and small, Im
portant and insignificant. Ah, verily, the
life of Ihe average legislator Is not of the
sweetest placed between the lines of party
discord it Is oflimes hard to move in the
path of right, but so long as party lines are
well flanked by party promises legislation
Is nt so difficult. The leglstatUre of 88-
$J will dio the same calm, peaceful Ami un-
mourned death as did Paulson's extra
session several years ago. So rdote It be.
Senator Quay Is in splendid: condition.
lie arrived here about a week Or ten days
ago after spending several months In the
land of oranges anJ alligators. He made
a hurried round saw ;mauy of his most
Intimate' friends, glanccd' into thii treasury
vauu to see wiai me stale's casn was safe
and then took the trail! boKryrfot- the
wesc. lue uoionei seemed .to be entirely
ignorant of political matters,- 'and when
iom tiiab iqb lr&ction .omny dri re
duced their fares to five cents he opened
wide his eyes with surprise only, .equalled
when told that high license was a moral
certainly. '
On Wednesday of last week r the House
drove through the appropriation . calendar
at a gallop and passed mora than fifty bills
of importance, aggregation $2,000,000. It
looks now as If this body would finish up
all the necessary bills and ' the general
appropriation bill In a few weeks. These,
with the apportionment' -.bills, and the
Caucus-Cullom bill, are the only matters of
very great importance now remainine Of
course there are a multitude of local and
special bills, but the great majority of
these must fail If adjournment occurs by
the 20th of next month,
One of the most tmportdnt appropriation
bills likely to come up soon' is that for the
Pennsylvania University for tho Vcterln
arlans' Hospital and College, of which Dr.
Itush S. Huldckope is tho dean. The
amount asked forts $100,000, nnd If granted
will establish the most elaborate and perfect
establishment of all kind in the'world. A
very large number of the members from
the leading agricultural counties are strong
adrecates ot this appropriation and numer
ous petitions and Icttlers havo coma in to
the Representatives indorsing the project
Assemblymen will make themselves "solid'
In all the country districts by voting for
this appropriation. It is really necessary
that they should, considering the great loss
of cattle and swine every year on account
of prevailing epidemics and i scarcity o
medical attendance. The feeling here
very general for the passage of the appro
priatlon.
The bill which passed the ITouto on
Thursday, known as the State Capitol
Ilepalr blll,should have been entitled a hill
to erect a new State library and to' enlarge
the House of Representatives; Three-
fourths of the appropriation of .$500,000 Is
for a State library. The' passage of the
bill is a distinct triumph of the personal In
fluence of Speaker Borer and of the Gover
nor, but the advocacy of both these gentle-
men for the measure was open and beyond
the suspicion of wrong. Tho Governor
has never hesitated to declare his views In
favor of the Speakei's bill ami against the
payment of a largo amount of 'money far a
new building. Plans arc now being drawn
in Philadelphia which contemplate such
architectural Improvements with the $500,-
000 appropriated by the Bpyer bill as will
transform the present Capitol Into one of
the most convenient and Imposing public
buildings In the country. Senator Reyburn
has been especially industrious in having
the plans drawn, and when thi bill shall
come before the Senate he will champion
its cause. There is little doubt of its final
passage. If we judge from the expressions
of many legislators. At present It would
be unwise to erect a new State Capitol
the unsettled revenue law making the
future supply of cost to run Into the SUte
Treasury donbtful. We are glad to note
that the majority of legislators believe In
letting It go slow.
Ceneell has Introduced the last bill to be
presented to tho House at this session,
Is entitled "An act to prevent discrimina
tion by life Insurance companies against
persons of color." The bill Is probably as
carious as any presented a) this stsilirl,

Catharine I,. Wolfe Is dcadl That bate
announcement will carry anguish to thous
ands of hearts through the lorrgth and
breadth of the- land, and dim with tears
thousands of eyes that tievor looked upon
her face.
Her'Wfo was one long Dcnomctloii'; her
death 4s littleness than n public calamity.
Goodness was born In herand her pathway
through life was rich in every blessing.
Horn n-nd feared among thb rich and tho
greatlnherfllng wealth heyond the dreams
of avarice, while maintaining her -station
with generons and honorable liberality, It
was In the homes of the poor that she
shono like an angel of light, scattering
blessings with a lavish hand, and never
wearying in her bounty. Other women
there have feoen In our country who en'
joy.ed.'greal wealth. and bad unbounded op
portunity, bto woman In onr hlstory.for
charity and wealth ocmjalned, will bear
comparison with her. The late Jits. Mor
gin, whose marvellous collection of bric-a-
brac and pictures brought over a million of
dollars, In early life had felt the pinching
pangs of poverty. The widow of the late
A. T. Stewart was the daughter of- a well-
to-do merchant, but the Clinches were far
from rich. One would havo thought that
their natural affiliations would have been
with Use poor. They both died worth
many millions; each had a splendid collec
tion of pictures; but they passed away
leaving no charitable record behind them
The grass is scarcely green upon their
graves, and New York forgets that they
have ever been.
Not so with Catharine Wolfe. The
blessedness of her lire is glorified In her:
death, and sho lives for all time by heri
generous benefactions, among those who
havo earned the city's undying gratitude
and love. Her collection of pictures, do
nated to the Metropolitan Art Museum,
aro worth fully a million of dollars; but
her splendid cxamplo will be worth many
millions more to our children and our clill-
lren's children for all time.
It Is not often that such an assemblage Is
called together as that which stood around
the bier of this dead saint. The wealth
represented there was not far from a thous
and millions, and among them all there
Was not mere cold conventional courtesy,
but pure unfeigned grief, which none
sought to hldo. The task imposed upon
Bishop Potter was pitiful in tho extreme.
The Inanimate clay before him had been
to him a dear daughter a loving sister a
constant friend; and as heread the beauti
ful litany of the dead, tears blinded his
eyes and grief choked Ills utterance. The
tears of the sorrowing priest were contagi
ous, and In all the vast multitude there
was scarcely a dry eye. If It be pesslble
that tho spirits of the departed take cog-
nlzauco'of what passes here.she cou)d.wlsh
for no' holler tribute than that with which
loving hearts laid her to rest. The bitter
est loss falls upon the poor. What she did
for them will never be knewn until the
Lamb's Dook of Life Is opened, and the
widow and the orphan whom "she succored
stand as her attesting witnesses before the
Great White Throne.
Though done with faltering hand and
heavy heart, it is nevertheless a gracious
and holy task to write the obituary of one
tof wh6m nothing can be said but good.
Sho never matrled, The motherly love
with which her heart abounded was ex-
psnded on the children of others, who re
member her name with blessing. In the
language of our own sweet poet Whlttler:
"O well she kept her genial mood,
And simple faith In maidenhood,
Before tier still the cloudland lay.
The mirage loomed across her way;
The morning dew that dries so soon
With others, glistened to her noon."
And It lasted undlmmed till the glory of her
setting sun. Just In life, just In death,
there will be no unseemly contest over the
disposition of her vast possessions. The
church she loved so well was bountifully
remembered. Her Immediate relatives all
received their dues with interest; the poor
were remembered to the amount of tens of
thousands; and the city, enriched by her
liberal bounty, will bless her name forages
yet to come.
And so with tearful eves and aching
hearts, but with unfaltering trust tbat all
will be well with her forevermore, wc
humbly consign her to the care of Illm
whose handmaiden she was, whose work
she did, and in the hope ot whose blessed
communion she lived and died. Like a
light placed upon a mighty hilltop where it
can be seen of all men, her bright example
will shine down through the ages o'er the
tide of time, a beacon of lovo and hope,
Wherever virgin purity Is honored, wher
ever human charily Is loved, her memory
will be prized as one of the brightest jewels
of her sex.and an honor tq.the womanhood.
of the world.
Passion week brought Lent to a clse,and
the glbry of Easter was manifest not only
in the churches but in the streets and lu th
stoies tho tableaux In many of the win
dows being wonderful works of art. One
of the wealthiest Jewish firms of Brook
lyn, at heavy outlay, prepared a tableau of
the resurrection, with life-size figures, and
hundreds of stores through New York and
Brooklyn had windows equally elaborate
and costly. The music in all the churches
was magnificent. For many years there
has been quite a rivalry In the maintenance
of church choirs, and It reached such a
point that finally people went to church to
hear the singing Instead of the Dreachlng;
and the minister of a fashionable uptown
church took umbrage at this and dis
charged the choir. While all the churches
have established musical programmes at
Easter, the finest music is to be heard in
the Catholic and Episcopal churches, and
th Jewish Temple Emanuel on Fifth Ave
nue. The feast of the Passover and 'Easter
falling together. Is the one church holiday
tbat unites tbe old and the new. By com
mon consent of Jew and Gentile Easter
Sunday Is always a marked era in new
toilets) and the present joyous season was
not behind any ot lis predecessors, the
display among theervint girls being some
thing that would open tho eye's of their
poor relations on tbe .other side of the
water.
While- surveying these Easter wonders
ti.i adj&lrhvz the hautM tt the (tores, I
stopped before one of the richest- windows
on Twenty-third street. It was filled with
costly needlework very rare, -yery costly;
and trimmed with the finest lace were some
Infants' dresses; they were Intended for
the darlings of the wealthy, where cost, Is'
never taken Into apcotint-Hhe price was
fifty dollars, and cheap, at that, I was,,
however, consoled by tho reflection tba't
this lavish extravagance at least, gave
profitable employment to the poor. I re
marked this to a friend at my elbow. Let
us look into tbat matter said, ho; 1 know
the woman who made those dresses; let us
go and see her. He led the "way .across the
Ayenue down One -of the slda streets till yt
reached a row ot tenement honses of the
poorest class op three rickety oalrot stairs,
knock at thefitst door to the right, and we
are standing In the rom tff the woman
wtro made those hoautlftl dresses. Wretch
-cdly poor Is tho fnmltfiro of the room, but
cloan and neat"; white -sheet Is spread on
the floor that the work may not bo soiled)
and on four low stools two women and two
yoimg girls are making .their -fingers fly,
They scarcely look, up, for lime Is money;
and oh, how much time for very little'
moneyten .and twelve weary hours for
fifty or seventy-five cents; rent to pay1, food
to buy, and a remorseless wolf everhowl
Ing fvt the door; worlc, work, -work; nn

der that yea find some of them at night
upon the streets; the only wonder Is that
there 1s not more of them, and that any of

daughters, disappear herei not by dozens.
bat by hundreds, and it ts only something
startling like' 'the Hah way murder that
brings the story outl While this murdered-
girl lay in the Morgue, hundreds of fathers,
mothers, husbands, brothers, sisters and
sons have come seeking lost ones who have
suddenly disappeared, nnd who wlll'never
be heard of again. But to return; these
Easter windows are piled full of costly
gewgaws beautiful to look npon', Vscful
for ornamentation -tho work of unrequited
tollers, who scarcely can keep "body and
soul together. Several attempts have hern
made to reach and help them, but almost
In every Instance tbey have fallen Into' the
hands of designing speculators, who have
converted them to Individual proSt Ilere
Is a chance for genuine charity to give
thes thousands of needlewomen a clrance
to help themselves to furnish them ma
terial, glvo them a comfortable place to
work, and let them receive the profits,
which now go into the pockets of merciless
and heartless employers. Think oi making
fine shirts at ten and fifteen cents a piece;
a child's beautiful dress full of tucks and
covered with laca for twenty-five or thirty
cents. It Is half a century since Tom
Hood sang his Song of a Shirt, aud the
condition of tho sewing women of New
York to-day Is no better than was the con
dition of her English sister fifty years ago.
A gentleman of wealth remarked to me the.
other day: I would glvo five thousand dol
lars towards an Institution which would be
In a measure co-operative in Its character,
and aid women In realizing the results of
their labor God help them, they need it;
let us bopo that this may chrystallzo into
something for.thclr permanent benefit.
Passion week Is never regarded as a good
week for theatres, but this week'has been
most exceptional. Ail the theatres have
done well, and Wilson Barrett has scored
a triumph, the truculent critics to the con
trary notwithstanding. For some reason a
cliquo of Bohemians here have made adead
set at this gentleman, -who is one ot the
most deserving and painstaking actors that
lias ever visited our shores. He came here
unpretentiously, avoided offensive clap
trap, and relying on his art, appealed to.
the American public The appeal was.net
made In vain. He has borne himself llkea
gentleman and artist, and aside from tbe
annoyance of a few curs barking at his
heels, he has every reason to be satisfied
with his American visit. Patt!,0!ice more;
dear, dear, Tattl, Not so very dear, my
neighbor replies. You can get a very nice
seat now for six dollars. Oh my! ain't
that cheap, fine chance for the women who
make shirts for ten cents. But you can
hear Bernhardt for three dollars only
think of It; dirt cheap, let us all go.
It looks as though spring had come with
the passing away of tho last polar wave.

son ot this Is that hundreds of Government Clerks
have found It cheaper to rent rooms and "take
meals out" than to keep house, nnd as a consequ
ence u number clearinghouses have sprung up
and done a very profitable business. TI.e
triumvirate commission which governs the
District has sent forth the edlet that not only
drinking saloons and places of business shall be
closed on Sunday but also that milk aud Ice
wagons shall not run, and that eating houses
shall shut up. If this last provision IS enforced
It will cause great Inconventenco to thousands of
persons who regularly lake their meals at these
places and will cause the failure In business ot
theso enterprlslpg men who are willing to cater
to the palate for the Handsome returns re
celved.
It seems a pretty big fish story, but still none
the less true, that over coo.ooo herring have been
brought from the Potomac Into Washington the',
present week. This Is the largest number re
ceived for years past and is due to the stringent
laws prohibiting the drawing of .seines for fls!
during tbe spawning season, A few years ago
the number ot herring caughtbeeame so small
that epicures began to fear that the delicacy On
"Potomac Herring would be a thing ot the past
The Fish Commission however had salutary laws
enacted, and the CMpXX) herring a week Is the
result.
Tho President had a tender heart this week
aud granted 8 persons pardons coirYictcd.and Im
prisoned for embczzlelng from the malls: break
ing Into Post Offices i robbing the malls on the
highways; counterfeiting, and other crimes,
Cleveland has granted more pardons than 'any
Pretldeut before him wltbln the memory ot
man.
Already gossips are beginning to talk ot the
President's summer trip. It Is possible that be
may take one but still you need not be surprised
If he stuys at home. Hn. Cleveland is already
located at Oak View and keeps very quiet seldom
coming to the City and almost as seldom seeing
callers. She is taking a much needed rest after
tbe fatigues of tbe social season, and probably
will not go with the President should he feel the
necessity of taking recreation by leaving the
the scenes-of his busy official duties aud cares lor
a brief perrlod.
A number of Congressmen have been In town
the past few days and most of them were Inter
viewed. The almost unanimous opinion seems
to be that Congress would be convened lu Specla'
Session the first cf October, and would continue
to sit until the regular session In December.
