Is also reported that Mr.. SuperinteI =
dent Wilson made "A spceca at the preSen-
~ ton, war; IL eGlO .lSing the csp9citf ,
honesty, and other valuable qualities OF
Mr. Hart as member of the schOo! board.
II is also reported that Mr.. Wilson was large
ly instrumental In getting up this teStimo-
NAL. His friends hope that these reports DO
him Injustice. To put the case very mildly,
Mr.. a, Hart is not the sort of person TO De
hell up before the youth of the city a an ex-
emPlar; and why he should receive this eX-
ceptiOnal honor over the long line of la
who have served on the school board
during the history of our school
system is Unaccountable. We suppose the
teachers bad no further share in the trans
action than signing the subscription paper
VIXEN 1t was passed around, but it seems TO
us they should, as the mentors of the chill
dren in their charge have hesitated before
giving that signature. The whole thing has
a very unpleasant look. but we fOrhear fur
Their comment until fully informed of the
facts.

SCHOOL GIRL BY A NEGRO.-In the Police
Court. Judge Smell, to-day, Charles Tippets,
rough looking colOred man, was arraigued
on the charge of committing a rape on a lit
tie white school girl ten ' ears of age. This
was an outrageous and cruel case. The testi-
mony is entirely unit for publication. The
court sent the case TO the grand Jury, fixing
the bonds at $4,000.
THAT TIN ROOF EVIL Editor Star: The
remedy for this evil is to stop putting on the
ridge roof. This style of roof is always liable
to be blown Off There is something of the
be put on. There is kind of tin roof that
will not blow of, unless the timbers come
with IL, and then the fault is the carpenters.
