Harlan, Jr., Illustrates Production of Sugar and Miss M. A. Boss Shows Specimens of Ores. On exhibition at the Business High School are two exhibits in commercial geography prepared by two of the graduates of last June in competition for the Gait prize, Benjamin A. Harlan, jr., and Miss Mary A. Boss, both of this city. Mr. Harlan has a complete line of samples illustrating all the steps in the production of sugar, from the planting of it to its refined stage. Arranged on a large table in regular order are jars containing the seed of the beet, three samples of the roots of this year's growth from Michigan, the different grades of the juice, varieties of tlie sirup, then sugar, botli granulated and cube shaped, and finally some of the by-products, such as lime cake and fertilizer. The great rival of beet sugar, cane, is treated just as fully. Mr. Harlan obtained several fine stalks of cane from Alabama, and a line of samples of sugar and sirups from a refining company In Philadelphia. In addition he has stalks of sorgum from which much sirup is obtained, liesides exhibits of maple sugar and sirup which ate guaranteed to be genuine. Illustrate Entire Industry. On the wall are fastened photographs, pictures and diagrams illustrating the entire industry. There is also a collection of literature covering the whole process of sugar production, both cane and beet, in the United States and in the island posseesions. In, the course of his summer's work Mr. Harlan learned from l)r. C. O. Townsend, one of Secretary Wilson's assistants, that beet sugar is just as good lor preserving purposes its cane, although there is said to be a general opinion in this country and in Europe that beet sugar will not preserve fruit. Throughout his work Mr. Harlan says he was courteously aided by the officials of the Agricultural Department and others who were interested in the educational effort. Specimens of Ores. Miss Boss' labors are regarded as of special local interest as she has made 1 ut nH\' nf t Ito Kiiil/litifr otnnnc o rill mitt. ti 01 UVJ j wi i JI\v i/uuuiii(| atiu iiiiu erals of the District of Columbia and of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. She lias specimens of practically all the ores known in the field mentioned, including iron, copppr, gold, silver, coal, building stones and other forms of deposits. She also has maps, drawings and literature covering the whole process of mining and quarrying. Kvery year the school acquires two flrst-class geographical collections through the bestowal of the prizes. The money comes from the interest on $2,000 bequeathed to the public schools by the late William Gait, three years ago. Only the income is used, being equally divided between the Business High School, white, and the colored Manual Training School. The exhibit is open to the public daily. Pennsylvania Official Dies.

SELFRID6E LAID TO REST AEROPLANE VICTIM BURIED IN ARLINGTON CEMETERY. Crowd of More Than a Thousand Attends Military Funeral of Young Officer. Almost within sight of the spot where he fell to his death in the Wright aeroplane, the body of I.ieut. Thomas E. Selfridgo was yesterday laid to rest with military honors in Arlington cemetery. Ever since the day following ihe accident the body has x-ested in the receiving vault south of the Mansion House. Ilere yesterday afternoon gathered a crowd of about 1,000 people, many of them the same who saw the fatal fall and others representing aero clubs and organizations in the line of work for which the young officer had given his life. The receiving vault is in a natural amphitheater and on the far s.de of this the slope was covered with spectators. The ground about the entrance to the vault was covered with flowers. At a little before 4 o'clock the officers of the airship board of the War Department, who were among the honorary pallbearers, arrived in one of the signal service automobiles. They were joined in front of the vault by Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, president of the Aeronautic Experiment Association. and the other pallbearers, and the band of the 115th Cavalry, dismounted and in full dress uniform, took its place on the sloping roadway. There was a wait and then the caisson from the artilery sheds rumbled into sight, swathed in j black and with the six horses fretting and lathering in the warm afternoon sun. The j vault doors were swung open and as the pallbearers disapeared in the recesses of | the vault, the band played the burial hymn, "Holy God, We Praise Thy Name." Distinguished Men Attend. The coffin, buried under a mass of flowers, was brought out of the vault and strapped to the caisson, while more , wreaths and emblems were piled upon it. On eacii side were lined up the enlisted men of the corps, the active body bearers, and behind them the honorary pallbearers. These were Maj. G. O. Squier, Lieut. R. B. Oreicy, Lieut. G. C. Sweet, Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, Prof. Octave Chanute, J. A. D. McCurdy, Percy Bradford, Prof. Monroe Hopkins, F. W. Baldwin and W. J. Hammer. They were followed by Baron Col. de Bode, military attache of the Russian embassy; Maj. Fournier of the French embassy and Mai. Tanka of the Japanese embassy, on foot, and ttie family of the dead officer in carriages. Under the spreading trees of the cemetery the procession moved, at a foot pace past the open western gate in sight of the iron stake marking the place where the aeroplane crashed to earth. A little farther on, under the shadow of the grass-covered ramparts that give Fort Myer its name, tlie grave had been dug, just on the edge of the hill looking toward Washington. There was no elaborate ceremony at the grave. The mother of the dead officer, supported by her two remaining sons, stood with bowed head a little to one side and about and behind the family stood the silent, bare-headed crowd of spectators. Three Voleys and Lights Out. Rev. Herbert S. Smith, pastor of St. Margaret's Church, read the committal service and at a signal from Maj.

Talks to Mixed Audience at the Fair Grounds. ROANOKE. Va., September 'M.?Booker T. Washington in an address before a mixed audience on the Roanoke fair grounds yesterday urged the negroes to remain, in the country and till the soil for a living. He declared that the trifling negro gets his living at the back door of the white people. He said that one man cannot hold another man in the ditch without he remains there with him. and that no man can lift another man without elevating himself. Washington will visit his birthplace, near Roanoke, today. He was born in a dirt-floor cabin on the Burroughs plantation forty-nine years ago. His mother belonged to tfte Burroughs family. Washington named himself (when he left the Burroughs farm at the age of eight years. This will* be his first visit to the scene of his childhood since he left there forty-one years ago. Many people who knew Washington _when he was a boy met him here yesterday. Brutal Policeman Suspended. ALEXANDRIA.
