Some surprise has been manifested in
the social and political circles of Washing-
ton at the transfer of Prince Cantacuzcne
from an Important post like Washington
to a second-rate continental city, and it
lias been intimated that the transfer was
not altogether to Prince Catacuzcne's lik
ing. The truth Is that Trlncc Catacuzene
personally requested that he be sent to
Stuttgart in order that his daughter might
be educated there and make her debut la
Russian society, which would, ot course.

be n matter of more easy accomplishment
from Stuttgart than from the United
States.
Moreover, in the Russian diplomatic
service no distinctions exist among the
ministers plenipotentiary so far as their
posts ot duty are concerned. The dip
lomats of the first rank in the Russian
service are the ambassadors, who are
six In number, and who aro stationed re
spectively at London, Paris, Berlin, Vi
enna, Koine, and Constantinople. The minis
ters occupy second rank, and all enjoy the
same footing, without regard to other
considerations. Consequently, the mis
sion to Stuttgart is In every way as digni
fied and as well riraunerated as that at
Washington .
The now minister to this country, Mr.
Kolzebuo, will not arrive until December
next. During the interim following Prince
Cantacuzcnc's departure, Mr. Somnw will

KANGAROO PUT TO DEATH
Zoo Officials Pitied tho Poor Old
Homesick Animal.
Drucs Concealed in a Cornucopia,
lVIilch'WitsSllppcttOverllcrXuBe.
Died In un Erect l'n.sturo.
Tbe oldest kangaroo at lhe Zoo was put
to death officially jesterday afternoon by
Mr. Joseph Palmer, taxldcrcJst of tha
National Muicuni. This unfortunate exile
from Australia has of late excited the sym
pathy ot the hundreds of thousands ot vis
itors to the Zoological Gardens. In her
extreme old age the began to pice for her
native land, she giew sick, her hair began
to turn very grey and tlijn, aud uthern-Ue
she piescuted a pitiable spectacle.
It occurred to tbe officers of tbe museum
that this lonesome kangaroo that was not a
thing of beauty aud could not he a Joy for
ever, ought to be hastened Into the hea en of
bcr kind and kindred.
Her taking off was performed In a most
singular manner, one which is Infinitely
superior to electrocution, hanging, or
drowning. The official executioner ot this
pet kangaroo of the nation used chloroform
and it is rejioricd that the poor exile died
with the fumes ot death in her lungs and a
smile of gratitude on her elongated face.
Tbe process was as Ingenious as it was
efrejtive. The assistants of the taxidermist
entered tbe cage of the superannuated kan
garoo. They had in Uieir hands oneot these
cornucopia bags, which the kangaroo sup
IKiscd to be a bag of bon bons. She rose to
the occasion, sat on her tall, and extended
herabbrevlaudforepawsfortheplousfraud.
Blie dipped hr nre Into the bag and
went up against a sponge saturated with
chloroform and ether. In a moment she
forgot everything but her native land.
She embraced tho bag with her little
arms and tried to embrace the nearest ex
ecutioner. As the volatile essences did their work
very rapidly, she only had time to back
up against the grating, hold out her arms
In token of forgiveness and died with a
smile.
As the corpse was being taken out the
Royal Benga I tiger uttered a n angry protest,
and the elephants also trumpeted their
grief. Thelioness wokeupastheprocsslou
went by and merely remarked to the hyena
betore she went to sleep again that the
kangaroo's lovo for chocolate drops gave
her dead away.
Tho head ot the deceased was taken to
the museum jesterday, where they will
mako It a new body and it will live again.

Chancellor Hurst From tho Ft ;l Con

Rct. Albert Osborn, secretary of tho
American University, said to a Times
reporter last night that the decision of the
Catholic University directors in regard' to
matriculating women students was a mat
ter ot great interest lu tbe trustees of lib,
institution.
"When we re-ured the charter of our
university iu 1893," said Mr. Osborn,
"wo dUtluetly speeiried that 1W doors
should be open to all, without distinction
of race, sex, or color. During the dis
cus!onufwaysandaicans,alwaysincldentaI to uch educational beginnings. It was sug
gested by one ut'yur teachers to have a

Wellcsly or MouUccHo. Bishop Hurst,
ourctiaiiccllor, Isnnjauotgrcal penetration,
learulugand foresight, and he did not quite
approve ot this plan.
"He said that In his opinion It was of
far more advantage to women to be ad
mitted to the university proper. As thejr
have to take their place in the battle of life,
sldo by side with the men, and in theprepar
atlon for life's contest, ihey should receive
the name training, the same solicitude aud
the same fostcriug care.
"In deference to these views of our chan
cellor," continued Dr. Osborn," the Ameri
can University will from the first moment
ot its existence bo open to women in fact,
to all who can pass th- requWtc examin
ations and provo the required moral status.
"As regards the Catholic University, it
Is a move in tbe right direction, that they
arc making the effort to allow women to
cuter their halls of learning. But It would
liavo been a wiser thing, it in their charter,
they had especially mentioned tins feature
and made the fact ot their admittance, an

WHITE TEACHERS OPPOSED
Their Treatment of Colored School
Children Under Fire.
Potomno Conferonco Itcgards ttio Dis
trict School Syxt em an Perfect, and
Advices tu Slodol After It.
Tho second day's session of the Potomac
District of tho Baltimore Annual Confer
ence, A. M. E. Church, was held yesterday
at St. Paul's A. SI. E. Church, on Eighth
street, between D and E streets, southwest.
asstated In Tho Evening Times.
After religious exercises tho committee
on the conditions ot the public schools made
their report, which dwelt particularly
on Uie rchools of Maryland.
The report elated that Uie school sys
tem in that State was Imperfect and should
be conducted so that the question ot color
could be laid aside.
"Tho schools ot Washington are In a
most perfcrt condition," It said, "and Uie
ministers ot the Gospel should make de
mands upon the authorities for the same
facilities for colored scholars aaaregivcnf or
white."
J. W. Martin addressed the conference on
Uie report uf the committee. He tald
the blame should be laid largely at the
doors of the parents of colored children
for the inferiority of the colored schools.
K the proper effort was made by parents
more good could be accomplished In secur
ing what justly belongs tu the colored child.
United efforts In Baltimore proved effec
tual. Mr. Martin expressed as Ills opinion that
colored schools should be taught by colored
teachers. Tbe white teachers, he thought,
were not tbe ones to control colored chil
dren. He closed by saying tbat, although tbe
white teachers made their bread by teach
ing colored children, yet they would not
speak to tbem on the- streets. Thus chil
dren are taught to believe that they are
Inferior beings.
J. W. Hrown made a brief "address. In
which be contended tbat the reason the
colored schools do not receive the atten
tion they should Is owing to the indiffer
ence on tbe part ot the parents of colored
children.
The colored people left the question of
going to school to the children themselves.
Let the Commissioners having charge of
Uie schools In Slaryland tec tbat there is
a desire on the part of tbe children to at
tend schools, and then tbey will do every
thing in their power to give all that they
may desire.
