There does not seem to be any good reason for
the amendment adopted By the House yesterday TO
NE District appropriation bill reducing the school
Board TO nine members Considering the large eI-
Tent OF territory covered by the District school
system, the vast amount of work 10 be DONE and
the fact that the members OF the school
board get no pay for their services, the
present number OF nineteen does not appear
over large Experience in other cities has
shown that 1t is not wholesome thing to have
the management OF school matters In too few
hands II is much easier to form ring combina-
tssns Ii a small body; and the enterpising school
book drummer in particular finds his persuasive
hbors reduced in proportion to the number Of
men he has TO impress Better not minimize the

The ticket nOmindted at HarrfSGGrg yesterday
by the Pennsylvania republican state convention
Is Of decidedly stalwart character. Gen. James
A. Beaver, who was selected by the dominant ele-
ment for the gubernatorial nomination before.
the delegl ties TO the convention were chosen,
was placed vt the head OF the ticket. He has
never held public Office, but Is lawyer OF prom-
nence and distinguished himself as a soldier
during the rebellion. He was defeated about
year ago for the l.. S. Senate because he was the
representative of the machine. The Independent
or reform wing OF the party is represented in the
ticket by VIM. Henry Raw1e, the nominee for SUI
preme judge, and Thomas N. Marshall for Con-
gressman-atarge, but the question is raised as to
whether this concession viii satisfy that element
and secure it, support Muttering5 OF discomfort
already heard, and In some quarters 1t Is predicted
that the independents at their coming convention,
viii nominate a complete state ticket, and with 1t
take the field against that OF the regulars. Mr..
Wolfe, who undertook to negotiate with the ma
chine Tor a compromise ticket, really got nothing
but the cold shoulder. He was first coaxed, then
tolerated and finally incontinently kicked out by
the bosses. The convention adopted, with
Slaughter" the resolutions recommended by the
recent peace conference which. in general terms,
condemn the usual machine methods. The only
matte. OF any importance in this connection Is
that iii adopting the rules proposed by the peace
conference the convention declared in favor of
hereafter having delegates 10 state conventions
chosen by vote OF the req Gblclns in each county;
but the leaders and bosses may not lit TO be
bound by this action OF their convention
The pressure 10 secure appointment Oh the tariff
commission IS being applied with yigor to those
who are supposed 70 have INFLUENCE with the Pres
tdent- The pay is good, the work need not be Sc
we're. and the commission may proleng its exist
ence for several years il it chooses. In fact some
predict that We viii have the commission with us
"a long as we have a tariff. The impression seems
To- De that there will be two democrats placed On
The coinnlaSiOn-one from tie north and one from
The south. The protectioaistS were very much
alarmed recently over the report that the Presi-
dent thought OF appointing Mr.. David A. Wells as
representative OF the frce-trade element One
immediate effect OF the law is to take the tariff
out OF politics for the present, and for this much
TIE politicians are grateful, they are, without
regard TO party, afraid OF the tariff as an issue.

How Chinese Coolies Act When They
Come Ashore.

'If you have the patience to watch
them, You will be amused, and perhaps
astonished to see how like sheep these
coolies are," Deputy Custom Inspector
Brown said to a call reporter, as the
coolies from the Devonshire were being
landed and searched. The sheepish
characteristic remarked by the official
was the blind, stupid persistence of each
coolie in doing exactly as the one before
him was doing. At one time it was de-
sirable to have a part of the Cinnamon
leave the sea-wall shed through another
entrance than that through which the
first landed we're going. Accordingly
the Custom-house officers attempted to
divert part of the living stream pouring
in tumultuous and noisy haste over the
steamers side on to the wharf to another
part of the shed. 1t was useless. The
aid of interpreters was invoked. The
coolies were plainly told In their own
language to 60 in certain direction.
Still useless. Those crowding on the
wharf went in the same direction they
saw the ones preceding them go, and
nothing could prevent them. They were
pushed, argued with, even struck by the
exasperated whites, but it was as If a
sheep-herder had endeavored to reason
with his scurrying, witless, panic-stricken
flock.
Another instance reporter noticed.
A Chinese Inspector of one of the Six
Companies directed group OF his coun-
| trymen TO certain portion of the shed,
and there wait for an express wagon.
Between them and the point they were
to go to was stack OF grain-filled sacks.
A passage around the stack was block.
AIDED for moment by wagon, so the
/ first of the Cinnamon clambered labori-
ously. with all his baggage on his back,
over the grain sacks. Every Chinaman
in his group followed, climbing and
stumbling over the sacks with much
/ trouble, although the passageway wa,
cleared for them by policeman before
the first one had crossed the sacks
! San Francisco Call.

Professional Beauty.

Edmund Yates has been exposing the
deceptive arts of the English professional
beauty. He says that she is always
prepared for inspection, though her VS.
itor may be only some intimate friend
whose loving tongue would BE the first
to proclaim that which should be known.
1t needs but visit or two to the favor
ite milliners of the day to show how
complete is the mask worn by the
woman of fashion. Where an ordinary
woman would fling aside her corsets alto
gether, the professional beauty puts on
under her tea-gown or wrapper another
kind of corset Invented by considerate
milliners -unboned, certainly, but so
made as to produce the desired outline
of figure. The same principal is followed
in a hundred ways among other things
the rouge-pot is not forgotten. When
you find Amoret alseep in her tea-gown
by the drawing-room fire, and she starts
from her slumber to entertain you and
give you fve-oclock cup of tea, you
imagine it is the siesta which she has
indulged in which makes her cheeks so
charming color, and her eyes so bright.
You do not stay to argue it out; but you
imagine, being man, that no reasonable
woman would make up her face in order
to go to sleep by her own drawing room
fire. You go away convinced that
Amoret, at least, does not paint. You
forget that Amoret was aware OF the
possibility of your calling; that she knew
her dreamy figure and bright eyes, lit by
the fre-fames, would make it very
pretty picture for your memory and,
above all, that Amoret lives only to be
lovely. 1t is her profession she has
nothing else to do.

A Romance Ia Two Chapters.

Chapter 1.-The first time George and
Mary met was mt Mrs. Dixon's garden
party at Putney. An old gentleman
was fishing. All she said was: He
doesn't seem to be catching any fish. :"
George only answered "frue happi.
ness lies in anticipation" She thought
he must have an original mind and Sc
cretly loved him. Chapter U.-Their
next meeting was at the same place, un-
der the same circumstances, The same
old gentleman was fishing. "He doesn't
seem to be catching any fish" said
George. "True happiness lies in an
ticipation," said Mary. "What an
original mind p thought George, and he
fell in love with her. They are now
married. d.-Fttnch.
