The E Street liaptlst Church was crowded

Perhaps one of the most Interesting things
to the members of the Washington high
schools when the new year begins to-day
will be the organization of the now famous
High Sihool Cadet regiiomt, which, will
occur the tirzt Monday after school be
gins, and tho appointment of the oung
men who will officer It the coming jcar
and try to outstrip the bright record of their
predecessors.
The military committee consists of Dr.
Lane, Major Koes and Ills assistant. Col.
Relchelderfcr, and three gentlemen teach
ers. These will examine the arlous can
didates and the appointments will be made
according to their standing in studies, pro
ficicnc In drill, and military ability.
The re will be thirty-six young; men entitled
to wear the shoulder straps and the posi
tions are all being diligently contested for
by a host of candidates and their friends.
There is alwajsagreateramount of rivalry
for the office of captain than for the other
positions, and this year there will be more
than eir. Tor one of the nine to be ap
pointed willhacthedoublehuuorot winning
the "com petit he drill" and thus gaining a
right to wear the beautiful Allison Nallor
prize medal."
For the position of colonel ot the regi
ment there are three candidates promi
nently mentioned, these are Captain? Auer,
Somer and English, but it la thought CapL
Bonier will receive the appointment for he
leads his rivals in bis standing In studies.
The friends of the others do not, however,
despair by any means. For lieutenant
colonel, who it is generally thought will be
at the Central this year. Captains Auer,
English and Reg. Adjt. Iiutts are men
tioned. For major of the First Battalion It is
gemrally conceded that if Capt. Acer does
not recilve the appointment of colonel v
lieutenant colonel, ho will be major ot the
First. The others mentioned are Reg.
Adjr. Butts, Bat. Adjt. Kimball, and
Lieut. Molkau.
It is thought by many that Lieut. Shill
ing, brother of the famous captain of the
Mortons, will be n ajor of the Second Bat
talion. There arc a number of aspirants for the
four captaincies at the Central School,
and there is a great deal of conjecture as
to who will be the lucky ones. It Is
thought that three will come from tho
third year and one from the fourth year.
The third years that liavc been examined
by Major Ross are hard at work studying
"tactics" for the examination about the
1st of October.
The names of some of the aspirants
for the honor of captaining the Central
compaules are: Lieuts. Hottcl and Von
Bayer, Btrgts. Stevenson, Howe, Fox. and.
Julihn, ami Corps. Hoover. Hoge, Daniels,
Wood, anil Kummel.
There are also eight lieutenant, a bair .
talion adjutant, and seviral stafr officers
to be appointed nt the Central.
The appointments will lie made about
the 10th ot October, and until It is all
over tin re will be plenty of rivalry and
no cod ot "elates" will lie made bythose
who are very much ieterested.
DECENT IIUitlALlMICtVIDED.
Body of -Urn. Jiilln I'nrc.-H Will Not

Through the effort of the Rev. J. W.
Gaines, the colored pistor of Little Zlon
Church, the body ot Mrs. Julia I'urcell,
the colored woman whodledsuddenly whilo
assisting tho sexton of that church, will cot
be consigned to the Potter's field.
Mr. Gaines lias secured from various
cliaritable people contributions ot money,,
and has engaged Undertaker Wise, of
Twenty ninth and II streets, to give -the
woman decent burial. The i.-noimt so far
secured, however, is not sufficient for the
purpose and Mr. Gaines is hopeful that
o tilers will gi e the balance needed and send
it direct to Mr. Wise.
It was thought that the woman was a
memlier ot the Rev. bandy Alexander's
-church, but Mr. Gaines was informed yes-

had years ago received her letter of dis
missal from His church.

National Economist Dragged Down,
Too Kuriiicrij Withhold l'atronugo.
An advcrtlstraent ot a sale under a
trust deed which appeared first on Saturday
last, recalls an interesting Incident of the
tlrst part of the present administration.
It also reminds a good many persousln this
vicinity of the Farmer's Alliance, which
was such a pow er in the laud f i e years ago,
and is now gradually but surely slipping
back to a place with thcgrangernioveincnt
of the early seventies, the Tlcasanton blue
grass cure and otiier fancies that are sailing
away down the Lethean 6trcam.
The offer Is in two sections and proposes
toscllthellthogrnphlngplantofthcNatlonal
Company, at 464. C street northwest. The
outfit is expensive and will probably not
bring halt what it cost. It was purchased
in the belief that thebackers of thecompany
had a good tiling in the way of a go irument
Job.
When the Cleveland administration came
In there was with It Hon. Josiah Qulncy, of
Massacliusatts.AJi5lstantSecreta ryot State,
Ho had as a friend Horace Kenney who had
been secretary ot the National Democratic
committee, and whose services seemed to
deserve reward.
CAUGHT THE CONTRACT.
When the time came to let the contract
for printing the Patent Office Oazctte,
which had gone for years to the Norrls
Peters Company, it was found to the sur
prise of many that the successful bidder
was the National Lithographing Company.
The total paid for the work was about
$150,000, and of this a large part, was
profit. The National company wasawarded
the contract and took up the printing.
A plant was secured and made complete
for printing the Gazette. Mr. Kenney was
In charge as active manager, assisted by
Mr. Bailey. At the sams time Mr. Kinney
acquired control of the National Economist,
the organ of the National Farmers' Alli
ance, and of Its printing bouse on North
Capitol street. There was the outlook fo
a great and profitable business, with two
horns.
But presently trouble appeared. It was
charged by President Loiicks, of the Farm
ers' Alliance, that C. W. Macnne, editor
and chief promoter of the National Econo
mist, bad during the campaign sold out
the Iniluence of the organ to the Demo
trats. and that J. Fount Tillman, now
Register of the Treasury, bad been active
,Jn using the publishing house of the Alli
ance to scatter broadcast Democratic lit
erature. These charges had an Immediate effect
upon the circulation of the Economist. Mr.
Senney took responsible control of the
Economist and Mr. Mncone retired. This
gave color to the charges of treachery and
It was an uphill fight for the paper.
At the National Lithographing Company
difficulties appeared no less perplexing.
The Gazette could not be got out until two
to three weeks after it was due and there
were serious com plaints by patent attorneys
against the character ot the work. The
Patent Office officials were lenient and
agreed that the fault finding attorneys were
,6ct on by the disappointed bidders. The
quality of the work was all right, they
eaid.
THE END IN SIGHT.
They also held that any new contractor
must have a few months in which to "get
the hang" ot the requirements. Gradually
the National company caught up with the
time ot publication and everytldng ap
peared to be working smoothly. There
were ctill some-complaint, but only enough
to prove theonglnaldefcnFethat the trouble
was not In the character ot the photo litho
graphing, but with the attitude of persons
disappointed in the letting of the contract.
It was pointed out in addition that the new
contract saved o baudsome amount to the
government.
Mr. Kenney eeerued in a position to win.
But Just then came a crushing blow. It
was charged that the letting ot the contract
bad been Influenced by favoritism In the
interests of officials of the administration.
An investigation was held and it was
round 'that Mr. Josiah Qutucy. then Assist
ant Secretary of State, was a creditor ot
Mr. Kenney to the extent of $20,000. The
publication of the facts caused a great deal
ot talk and after a time Mr. Quincy re
signed. Then when the contract was let again
it went to the Norris Peters Company. The
National company struggled on for a time
finally closed its doors. The National
Economist bad also gotten Its death blow
and about a year ago it suspended. The
business of the printing office continued
along but without gaining. Several fuits
accompanied the gradual decline of the two
businesses and only a little whllo ago a
Judgment of $13,000 to 520,000 was re
ccned against the Economist company.

Trot- Hidlnmii Shows the Need of
Line in tho Schools.
Prof. Hellman.of the Indian Bureau, gave
an address at the People's Church jistcr
day morning on the"Mlssiun of Childhood."
He said that the child Is father ot the
man. Hence the necessity of right train
ing. Our schools lack the element of love.
They are formed by the masculine mind
standing for light, for knowledge. They
aim to communicate facts and train the
memory to retain them. In a word, the
present school sjstcra alms to train the
intellect.
