THE BOARD Of Education will have
to beStir itself or the fast increasing
population Of the city will leave the
Board far behind in aCCo mmOdatiOn!
for children. The Committee on Trans
fars reported last night that there wer,
over 400 pupils in the western part o.
the city alone who had been promoted
and were ready to enter the grammar
school, but the grammar schools are al
filled. This is rather bad state Of al
fairs and the Board should remedy /,
speedily. The new school house in the
Eleventh Ward, though one Of tn,
largest in the city, will be but small
affair compared to the increase Of popu
latiun and the number Of buildings il
that direction. There are a thousan,
more children in that section Of thu
city now than when steps were takei
to build new school house at Oak an(

Reply to the Gardiner Letter Read by
 r.JB Sargent Before the HTaforIcaI
 Society.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND CoURTKR:
 When Mrs Lamb on Monday evening last closed the reading of her valuable paper be- fore our Historical society upon the history of Gardiners Island, Mir. J. B. Sargent, of our city, arose and stated that engraved upon window pane of the old Pavilion Hotel, now one of his factory buildings, was dis covered some two years since the name Samuel Buel Gardiner, 1880" Whereupon Mir. West, an associate in business with Mir. Sargent, wrote to the then Lord of the Manor of Gardiner's Island, Samuel Buel Gardiner, communicating the fact of this window pane discovery and suggesting an explanation.
 MT. Gardiner promptly gave response in a letter, which MT. Sargent read to the socie- ty, the purport of which was that in 1880 he was a lad at the boarding school called "Dwight's Gymnasium" then kept in the old Pavilion buildingi that the principals were the two brothers, Henry and Serene Dwight-''the one most lovesble man, the other a great tyrant." In closing Mir. Sar- gent said that perhaps some gentlemen were present who in boyhood attended or knew Of that school and could give interesting remin- | iscences. He then took his seat, when si- | lence as of the grave ensued- Yet there were | present many whose memories must nave gone far back of that period, judging from the multitude of white beads around, enough | if massed to have simulated huge snow bank.
 s'Dwight's Gymnasium" was one of the very few boarding schools then existing in our country. The people were too poor to sustain but a few. The two brothers were l sons of President Timothy Dwight of Yale College, the once giant intellect of New Eng land. who died in 1916. Both were men of superior natural powers. Being of the Dwight blood, the old Jonathan Edwards stock, they could not well help it. They possessed the highest book and social educa- ton then attainable; had travelled in Europe. and had jointly written and published their travels on the Continent--a work in big type, bound in blue paper boards with white

SEN ATOR HAWLEY,s AMENDMENT
 TO THE REEI-NnING BILL


 TO THE REFUNDING BILL.
 On Friday, during the discussion of the Refunding bill in the Senate, Senator Flaw ley made powerful speech in opposition to what has been known as the Carlisle amend ment. This amendment, which passed both houses of Congress and was vetoed by the President, prohibited any bank from taking up it's bonds on deposit of lawful money. It further provided in effect that if bonds were called for payment they should not be paid if held by national banks, but might be exchanged for three per cents. It further required that if the national banks did not exchange their high. priced bonds for low priced bonds within thirty days after they were called, they should be liable to be placed in the hands of a receiver, under sec ton ,, 234 of the Revised Statutes It furth- CT, in effect, prevented any national bank which should take the three per cents from withdrawing them upon the deposit of law full money, so that, if they should be at par at any time in the market, they. were pro- hibited from receiving full payment. The banks he'd the privilege of withdrawing bonds only upon the surrender of their own notes, which was impracticable
 In both houses of Congress bills are now pending which propose to re-enact this amendment. Senator Hawley offers the fol lowing in place of the proposed dangerous Carlisle legislation That any national bank ing association now organized or hereafter organized, desiring to withdraw its circulat- ing notes, upon deposit of lawful money with the Treasurer of the United States, as provided in section of the act of June 20, 1874, entitled An act fixing the amount of United States notes, providing for redistri- button of national bank currency and for other purposes, shall be required to give thirty days notice to the Comptroller of the Currency of its intention to deposit lawful money and withdraw it's circulating notes, provided that no more than 5000, GOO of lawful money shall be deposited during any calendar month for this purpose; and pro- vided further, that the provisions of this sec tion shall not apply to bonds called for re- demption by the Secretary of the Treasury" In proposing Lis amendment Senator HawIey said: 'I would require that a bank desiring to ueposlG legal IenQers agalnSG US c1rculat1on and take cut it's bonds should give thirty days notice of it's purpose. Then the mar ket would foresee any possible effect You could not have crisis precipitated in an hour, as some of these gentlemen fear might be done. There is no objection to making this process reasonably slow and conservative by requiring them to give such notice, and re- quiring, also, as propose in my amendment, that not more than $5 1000, GOO shall be taken up and deposited in this way in any calendar month or in any thirty consecutive days"
 This amendment seems we'll calculated to work we'll as law. It does not interfere with the rights of the banks or the people, and it does not provide for dangerous derange- ment of the money market

 From the Chicago Times
 The other afternoon NIT. Louis P. Smith, 20 years old an employe of the North west ern road, living with his parents at No. 292 Fulton street, exhibited degree of valor in frustrating burglary and winRing one of the marauders that will commend him to the respectable portion of the community At the time given Mir Smith was in the yard surrounding the house, when, through g window, he observed some strange men in Mr- Boughton's house. He called his young CT brother, who informed him that none of the Boughton family were at home, and Mir. Smith at once concluded that the house was being ransacked by burglars. He secured 8 revolver, which he usually kept in the house. and then told his brother to go to Mr. Boughton's front door and ring the bell After giving that direction he pro ceeded to the rear of the Boughton mansion and stationed himself just outside a door which he discovered had been forced open. As soon as the bell sounded 8 man appeared at the door, and he commanded him to halt The fellow refused to obey. and Mfr Smith caught him by the collar. As he did so two companions passed through the door and received the same order. which they dis obeyed MT. Smith held on to the first man, and turned his revolver loose on the other two. At the first fire one of them dropped, but he soon regained his
 
 followed. pursued by two bullets from Mir Smiths pistol The hero then gave the alarm, and soon the patrol wagon appeared, and the prisoner was taken to the Madison street station where he was readily recog- nized as Martin Furlong, one of the most desperate burglars and thugs the wea. side. It was at once concluded that Fur longs companions were his brother Dick and a young thief named Garrity, and officers were sent out after them. About o'clock Sergeant Roach gained an entrance to the house of the notorious Mrs. Hopkins, at the corner Of Hunt street and Centre avenue. where he found Dick Furlong ill bed and also discovered that he was almost in a dying condition, from the effect of G bullet wound in the left breast. He was taken to the county hospital, where the attending physi- elan pronounced his condition most critical An hour later. as Detectives Costello and Beck were passing along West Indiana street, they saw young Garrity run through little alleyway to the rear of Mrs Burke's house, at No. 311 West Indiana street They sue | ceeded in overtaking him, and he was landed l in the Madison street station. If MT. Smiths i idea about shooting the second man is cor rect, then Clarity is not the paan wanted to | complete the trio Mir Smith is a medium | sized youth, smaller than either of the men whom he so courageously faced, and the po- | lice, as well as the citizens of the neighbor- hood accord to him the highest praise for his pluck So far as could be learned the only i thing carried of by the thieves were a few | articles of jewelry found in the bed in which Furlong was lying at Hopkins.
