Bills amounting to $l,70969 examined by
the finance committee, were ordered to be paid
On motion, the committee buildings and
grounds were instructed to take out no more in
surance on public school buildings, and to con-
slider the propriety of canceliHg the policies now
in existence. This action of the board was
brought about by the arbitrary advance made in
rates by the insurance board The boa rd was of
the opinion that they can better carry the in
surance than to submit to extortionate rates.
The following resolution, offered by Mr.. Mer-
rift, was laid over until the next meeting:
"Resolred That the committee on buildings
and grounds be instructed to have plans pre-
pared for a new high-schoOl building, and an es-
innate made of the cost of the same.
The committee on hygiene reported that the
water of number of the wells of the public
schools was not as good as 1t should be- and
recommended that the wells at Nos. 8 and ID
should be cleaned out. and that new well
should be sunk at No. 90 In the case OF No. 20
it is probable that the supply will have to come
from the Water Works, the soil is such that
pure water at any reasonable depth is hardly
Obtainable. 1t was said of the water az the
schools shown to be bad that in most cases it
was as good or better than the supply in use in

MGR. Camel on Marriage.

New York, Dec Mgr Capel lectured on
Marriage" at Chickering Hall. During the
course of the lecture he said: 81 have seen
more happy marriages in France than 1 have
seen in any other country. In France the
woman, as a rule, has no voice in the matter
of getting married. There is no land that
has so admirably brought to the front the
idea of home as England, but the unhappy
relations of the divorce courts in England
during the past few years are enough to APP
pail any thinking man. Which of the two
systems, the French or the English, is the
better? I.cannot tell. 1 want to preserve
the liberty of the persons who are contract
ing. want to put within reach of the con-
tracing parties a choice and while doing
that want at the same time to exercise in
part, as it is done in France, the wisdom of
the father and the instinct of the mother"

ROBBINS WILL GO.
The Only One Will Shed His Buttons aud
Return to the Wagon shop.

On the authority of no less a parsonage than
Commissioner Frenzel, the announcement was
publicly made yesterday that Major Irwin Rob
bips the only, etc., had prepared his
resignation as superintendent of police, and
had requested early meeting of the board
to act upon it. Mr.. Frenzel stated
that about month ago the board had intimated
to The Only that his resignation would be accept
ed, but that functioHary had failed to respond,
and broader hint was given. About this time
Commissioner Malott left the city, however, and
action was deferred until his return, which was
not until a day or two ago. 1t was
stated further that Captain John Lang
would probably be chosen to succeed
Lord Robbins Captain Lange's first experience
in police work was upon his appointment upon
the organization of the metropolitan police
force, but he has shown capability as an officer
and will doubtless prove an Improvement upon
the present incumbent. Sergeant Colbert Is
spoken of as Captain Lsngs successor. 1t is whis-
pered that there may be some other changes
while the board is in the humor. The meeting
will probably be held tonight, and The Only's
resignation will take effect at once.
