The school Election.


 Messrs. xVelch. zunder and Peck Elected Members of the Board-Re-E1ectiOn of the Treasurer, Clerk and Auditors.
 The annual school election for members of the Board of Education, treasurer. clerk and auditors took place yesterday. There were several candidates in the field, the so- called regular ticket bearing the names of Harmanus M. Welch, Maier Zunder and Henry E. Peck, while another or so-called opposl- tion, ticket bore the names of Caleb B. Bowers and D. Gady Eaton in place of Messrs. zun- der and Peck, with Thomas F. 0'Brien for clerk. It is perfectly safe to say. that some of the gentlemen whose names were on the so-eaIled opposition ticket were surprised, they having no knowledge of the fact untf the voting had begun.
 The voting in the various wards was unu- suaIly spirited and a larger vote than has been boiled at any school meeting for years was the result. The total vote last year was 2,569 whereas this year it reaches 4,617. The majority of MT. Peck over MT. Eaton is 2, ,15o while that of Mr. Zunder is about POO larger.
 Of the scattering votes 104 of those cast in the Ninth ward were for H. M. Welch instead of Harmanus M. Welch, and the same IS true in regard to the vote for Mir. Welch for treas urer in the same ward. There were also a few other scattering votes as will be seen by the table.

Granny will he right and Miss Loc'll he

me chance to make something OF my
self. Well, now. the question is am 1,

these sinners | am, if | give them up

words on his lips, Johnny started for the

entcredaud presented himself at the desk.
"Some of you folks have lost some

1T is Il gold cross set with diamonds

position of the stones. 1t was lost

night, or on the way to or from that
place
"JoLnny's coat was off in twinkling,
and, with rap at the stitches which con-
fined his treasure, he took it out and put
on his coat again. II spose this is IT."
he said, handing it to the gentleman. II

he continued. They'd a set me up in
business, them sinners would, but you

ing as that, though have been trying to

string to hold them sinners. for fear
they'd be gone for good and all next

What is your name?" the gentleman
inquired, as the lad, with his cap in his
hand, stood modestly before him.
John Resney," the boy replied.
Have you father and mother?" was
the next question.
Nobody, yer honor, but myself"
(Which would you prefer to do,

"go into business or go to SCHOOL,"
"Why, should rather go to school,

"Will you come into my office, Johnny,

"Yes, sir" replied Johnny, the tears
starting to his eyes,
II shall want you to go home with me

"All right" said Johnny, brushing
away the tears. Anything 10 do now,

The following Sunday Johnny Went to
the Mission school for the last time, and
in such good clothes that Miss Lee hardly
knew him. The grateful boy told his
teacher what had happened, and con-
cluded as follows:
II am going away to school tomorrow,
and if I've got the learning stuff in me L
can go to college; but, Miss Lee, if it
hadn't been for you and God should

Tie King Of Burmah

The news that the King of Burmah has
made a military demonstration on our
frontier with view to frightening Great
Britain into certain acts of reparation
seems rather ludicrous. The Kings
army is said to consist of two bodies, the
one $50, the other 300 strong, and the
attitude of the troops is represented as
arrogant and insolent in the extreme. 1t
is easy, however, to understand that the
Burmese may think otherwise. The
Government at Mandalay has no practi-
cal experience of our prowess and is
VIGOROUSLY ill-informed as to our re-
sources. For long time past our most
important representatives have been
the steamers which for purposes
Of trade have piled the Irrawaddy. On
almost the last occasion of the reception
of Englishmen by Tbeebaw he dwelt
upon the commercial advantages thus
afforded in q manner which showed that
he regarded them as our chief titles to
his consideration. Then the abortive
attempt of Prince Nyoungoke, while it
has hat;ered the vanity of the troops
which overthrew him, has correspond
iugly lowered us in his esteem. For it
was generally believed in Burmah, alb
surd as it may seem, that the Prince
escaped from our territory not only with
our connivance, but by our assistance;
and further, that we look to him to ac
complish that conquest OF IheeDaw,
which we dared not attempt. With all
these considerations in view it Is easy to
see that the so-called insolent atti-
tude of the Burmese troops may ap-
pear to them quite justified by facts.
Whether they will proceed to blows Is
another matter. The report that when
Theebaw has got up his re-enforcements
he will send messenger to demand an
indemnity from the British Government
is reassuring, for it points to no lmme-
diate outbreak Of hostilities. Our answer
will probably be in the negative, under
the circumstances of the threats which
accompany the demand, though it is not
pleasant to reflect that in several re-
spects Tneebaw is in the right and we
are in the wrong. We saved Nyoungoke
from the exterminating wrath Of the
King. and then we allowed him to escape
from our Territory and raise an insur-
rection in Burmah. At this moment he
is a prisoner in Calcutta, SO that we have
twice baked Theebaw of his revenge.
Had the request for ar indemnity been
preferred automatically it would per-
haps have been polite TO have acceded
to it Pail Mall Gazette.
Hor BEARIsGs.--It has long been
known that sulphur cools a hot bearing,
but the reason why is doubtful. Won
Heeren states that the fine metal dust
formed when a journal runs hot, and
which acts strongly upon both journal
and bearing, forms sulphide with the
sulphur. This compound, which grows
soft and greasy, does not cause any APP
preciable amount OF friction. Sulphur
and grease, in combination, are in regu-
lar use on board the steamers OF the
North German Loyd's.

the different parties at the Capital are
anxious about the future of the country.
OF the nature and extent of the demands to

Hanabusa, Japanese Minister to Corea,

In letter recently received from Corea, it
is stated that the leading members of the

in the Capital on the 9th of October, at
which upward of eighty high dinitaries OF

was the desirability or otherwise of re-
stricting the present intercourse between
