The change in the board of education came as a complete surprise to the majority of the members of the board, as few of them knew that Mrs. Terrell would not be reappointed. Mrs. Terrell yesterday afternoon made public a letter, written several days ago to the Justices of the District Supreme Court, setting forth the facts that she woujd not accept re- appotntment, because of her long service on the board and because of the press of other duties. Mrs.

the new member of the board, resides at 1633 street northwest, and was formerly a teacher in Normal School No. The change keeps the racial, division of board the same as formerly, there being three colored and four white members. In asking that he be relieved of the duties of superintendent of schools, and be appointed to the position of superintendent of intermediate, instruction, Mr. Stuart vpluntarlly accepted a reduction of $2,300 annually in salary. As super- intenflent he received $5,000 a year, while his new position pays $2,700 a year.

There Is talk of giving Dr. Davidson $0,000 annually, but no formal action on this plan has yet been taken. Tribute to Mr. That the resignation of Mr. Stuart waa.

accepted with the greatest regret by the entire board of education was made evident by the evidences of regard toward him, both as a man and-as a school official, voiced yesterday during the meet- Ing. Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mueeey, vice president of the board, Jn moving that his resignation be accepted, spoke feelingly of his great services to the city of Washington In his work as superintendent of schools, and in the other positions he has held in the system. She praised particularly the work of Stuart when i he was superintendent of intermediate instruction, the position he will assume July 1. Mr.

Davidson, the new superintendent, is rated as a splendid educator. Hhe Is 5i years of age, and was in Jamestown, Pa. After graduating from the Kansas State Normal School at Emporia, In 1SS6, he received the bachelor of arts from the Kansas State University in He began life 5 as a country schoolmaster, and for twelve years was teacher of the county schools of Lyon county, Kans. In 1885 he entered the newspaper business, and became city editor of an Emporia, paper. In 1887 he returned to school teaching and became principal of the school of Ak- wood, Kans.

In the next few years, Jlr. Davjdson rose steadily in profession, becoming successively superintendent of schools In Qulncy, Lincoln, Topeka, all in Kansas. In 1894 he went to Omaha, and has been superintendent of schools there ever since. It was this wide experience as superintendent of schools in different cities which finally led the board of education here to decide to obtain his services. They went outside of the District, because they desired to have at the of the school system, a man of the caliber of Mr.

Stuart. Had there been an assistant superintendent here at the time Mr. Stuart resigned, he probably would ave been elevated, memtiers of the board id yesterday. r. Davidson has had experience dealing with school systems In cities where there are a large number of negroes, this fact had much to do with his selection.

Members of the board of education expect that he will make a strong record. Since the disastrous period which followed the appointment of Dr. William Chancellor to tho superintendency of tho Washington schools, the members have been fearful of -getting a man unacquainted with the dual system here. Scholarships- Awarded. The meeting of the board was the last formal one held before the clese of tho school year, and a vast amount of business was transacted.

The announcement was made that the faculty of the George Washington University has awarded the scholarships annually given to students In the while high schools of the city.

At the office of the commissioner af Internal revenue it was explained yesterday that companion brands to those recently seized in government raids In New York as frauds tending to deceive the cigar smoking public may have been sent small stores in this city. Although no complaints have yet been registered at he commissioner's office, revenue inspec- ora are conducting a vigorous search for any of the fake cigars which may have escaped ffom Gotham to the Capital City. The cause of the present investigation was the discovery that twelve small shops in New York were diligently en- faged in palming off 3ieap domestic as imported weeds for which 25 cents is customarily charged. Several 'oreign firms have been sending to New York pacKages of cigar bands so closely esembling those usefl by the manufacturers of standard cigars as to almost defy detection. It the sincere hope of the commissioner's office that when the delicate nose of the "good Judge of cigars" is shocked and grieved by an odor which no 25-cent cigar ever gave forth he will i report his purchase to the department and give the Inspectors a chance to investigate.

Without exception the prominent cigar dealers of the city are ron'-inced that there have been no large Irrposlfons at the present time i admit DOBBI- ble for a small dealer to have iper. persuaded to purchase expensH at a cheap price, but are not inrltned to believe that even this la tie case.
