NO MONEY TO REPAIR FCBLIC SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
The trustees OF the public schools are sorely
puzzled TO know how they are to get through the
balance OF the s:hocl year W ithout means TO keep
the school buildings in repair The school year is
the same as the fiscal year, which end June 30th
next and as every dollar appropriated BY the last
Congress for repairs to the school, houses has al.
ready been expended, there remains about half the
year without any money to eXpeDd, and already
the necessities for triflng expenditures are daily
showing themselves, witt the winter months yet
10 encounter. The appropriation asked for by the
school board last ye.r was $4,000. the District
went to Congress, and the House District commit
tee cut 1T down to s1oG00, in which condition 1t
passed. The many calls Tor expenditures upon the
s;'hooi buildings require considerable outlay an
nuilly IN order TO keep the school buildings Ia
o'n-"ftabe and healthy condition. These ex-
pehses are Increasing annually, as the nuiaoer OF
school buildings gradually increased, and it IS
e economy To ook closely after their repairs TO pre-
y1Htecay and destruction. Every dollar OF the S10,
Coapfropriated has been expended No debt can be
created, is under the present law it is penal
offence, and the only wdy 10 gel out or the diem

The New York Tribune OF yesterday said: "a
woman dressed In q seaIsLin sacQue and silk dress

was expecting. The trunks did not come for sew
eral days and the clerk traced them TO the Mount
Vernon Hotel, Baltimore, where t..ey were detained
for board bill Before this was discovered, how
ever. the woman was noticed acting in an eccentric
ana strange manner. When toll OF the discovery
she denied ever having been IN Baltimore. She re-
fused TO settle her board bill, stating that John
Jacob Aston had told her not to pay 1t, he had
recently bought the hotel She declared that Rufus
Hatch was her uncle, and by various other state
ments showed that she was insane. She was taken
before Justice Patterson Tuesday, who committed
her 10 the care OF the commissioners of charities
and correction. The woman then said that She
was not married, snd gave her address as No. 1855
Washington avenue, Chicago. The proprietor OF
the hotel thinks that the woman is respectfully
SonneeIed and Tn II she has wondered away from
Ier friends, VINO ore now probably looking for her.
Her outfit and 1eweiry are estimated at $500
