keepers prefer it to cloth for cleaning many ar

To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
would, through THE STAR" like to direct
the attention of the school officials to having a
uniform construction OF their regulations The
writer has children in attendance at the Sumner
school building, who complain to him that they
are not permitted to enjoy the one hour noon
recess provided Icy the board. In the schools
fOrwhite children the pupils are permitted to 90
nome, thereby not only getting the benefit OF
fresh air and needed respite from brain work.
but likewise get that which will give them
physical strength TO bear the labor imposed
upon them-a good lunch. I'm the coIOred
schools they. are either cooped up in small yards
or turned loose in the street to the annoyance
OF the neighbOrhOod. being forbidden to leave
the school premises by Superintendent Cook,
trustee Brooks or somebody else other than the
board The school boards regulations on this
ana other points have carefully examined and
lind much TO commend, but the trouble seems
in their construction and administration by
those charged with their execution.
The claim is also made that the colored
schools are equal with the whites. If that is so
why Is II that eolored pupils are promoted from
the eighth grade schools to the High school for
coiored children upon a maximum standard of
40 per cent, While the minimum standard from
the same grade in the white schools is Sc?
How IS it that the teachers in the white
schools are ready TO take up their school regis
tiers aud commence work on the first day of the
school year. while the teachers IN the coored
schools are instructed by Superintendent Cook
not to touch their registers Tor at least two
weeks after the schools are opened thereby
being compelled to either fail in covering the
grade or else cram their pupils to catch up. The
honorable Commissioners WILL in the Judgment
OF the writer, best serve the interest of educa-
ton II they will give little more attention to the
executive management and not rest content with
the annual appointment of trustees. many of
whom seldom. if ever. visit the school Room,

opinion on any educational matter for fear OF

An Autumn Scene.

The Indian Summers vale OF blue
Lies on the mountains far away:
And from the East, forever new,
Dawn uSherS in the dreamy day.
The air Is still, the rivulet CLEANS
In silver flashes through the vale3
The S1lken mist above the streams
Fair path-shines like gltstning sail
! see the squirrel skip and dart
Among the rainbow-ttnted leaves
The glossy chestnuts IRE his heart
But as for him he never grieveS
Where red and russell orchards stand.
Bowling their burdens to the plain,
The lover takes his loved ones hand
And Saunters through the orchard lana
The clouds are soft that deck the sky,
The dry leaves rustic past their feet;
But their unclOuded Teverie
And DliSSful dreams and visions sweet
Guido the splendor OF the day,
SurpasS the glory OF the dawn;
The world itself must pass away
Ere such delights are dead and gonel
mark their measured steps-and slow
The cottage gate, the parting kiss;
And think 10 Summers vainly 90
That end In such triumphant bliss!

HIGH LIFE AT THE HUB.


From the Boston Globe.
THAT was an expensive set of jewelry," re-
marked a reporter to the proprietor of large
Washington street store abiding to q set Of
diamonds young lady had just taken away
with her.
at is the most expensive set we have in the
store" was the reply, "but she has only hired
it,"
sis that a common thing in Boston," asked
the newspaper man.
Most certainly. Many of our best customers
hire set of jewelry for an evening, and for
comparatively small price excite the envy and
jealousy of their friends. I wonder you have
never heard of it before. We take our costest
gems and reset them to please our customers
and then rent them. Of people whom We know
We never require any security, but stranger
would, of course, have to deposit the full value
Of the gems. There are two Of our finest sets
at Swampscott now. where / understand they
have been much praised and their temporary
possessOrs congratulated
"A funny thing happened in connection with
this branch OF our business. There was to be
large german, and young lady we'll known in
this city came to make arrangements about a
set OF diamonds. was not in the store at tie
time and knew nothing of the matter SO when
1 came in let out the same set to another
young belle. In the afternoon No came in
and asked significantly if her diamonds had
been cleaned. While she was talking No. 2 nut
the same question to me. The situation was
very awkward, but explained the matter and
all was finally settled in favor of No. l. the
young ladies pledging each other and me to
eternal secrecy.
Il wouldn't have 1t get out for the world,
you know explained No. 1.
Another branch of our business Is to rent
silver services. These are very well paid for.
Most OF the designs are antique, and some Of
them have figured in many Boston homes as
highly-treasured heirloOms At weddings we
frequently furnish large collections of bric-a-
brac and other articles to swell the number OF

Faded Leaves,

The hills are bright with naples yet;
But down the level land
The beech leaves rustic In the wind
As dry and brown as sand.
The clouds In bars OF rusty red
Along the hill tops glow,
And In the still sharp air the frost
Is like dream OF snow.
The berries OF the briar-rose
Have lost their rounded pride,
The bitter-sweet chrysanthemums
Are dropping heavy-eyed
The cricket grows more friendly now,
The dOrmOuSe sly and wise
Hiding away In the disgrace
OF nature from mems eyes
The pigeons in black wavering lines
Are swinging tOw'rd the sun;
And all the wide and wtthered fields
Proclaim the Summer done
His store OF nuts and acorns now
The squirrel hastes to gain,
And sets his house In order for
The Winters dreary reign.
TITS time to light the evening IRE
To read good books, to sing
The low and lovely songs that breathe
OF the eternal Spring.
