there are enough children to start the

pect of an increased population, a
school-house should be erected and a

better to spend money for building

1T Is A question whether the City
Council would not have been justified
in making liberal donation of money
for the purchase of fuel for the needy
this winter. The custom has been fol
lowed for many years past, and we
have never heard any serious objections
raised against it. On the contrary,
though there was no law or ordinance
requiring it the people cheerfully &C.
guessed in the donation because il
was for the poor Of the city.
The present winter has been an unusu
ally severe one, and many people art
out of work. A few hundred tons Of
coal would have been a great help t.
them and the cost would be little miss.
ed by the taxpayers, and it is ques
ton whether it would not be advisable
yet for the City Council to make do
nation to help the destitute to bridg,
over this extremely cold winter wheI
all kinds of out door labor have beer
compelled TO stop.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
1he Enlistment of Minors I'm the Ma
rlne COrps.

At IL o'clock this morning James b. shugrue
appeared In response TO writ OF habeas cor
pus in tho Criminal Courtroom to prosecute
before Justice wylie an application for release
from enlistment In the Marine Corps. Shugrue
10 a minor, but he made aflldayit that lie was
OF age at the time Of enlistment. Tho haboas
corpus was issued at the instance Of his father.
The enlistiDg officer held that II the boy should
be released because OF his age, he should be
prosecuted for perjury,
Young Shugrne entered the courtroom in
charge of his father and a lieutenant OF the
Marine Oorpe. He is about 20 yoars old, OF
medium height, weighs probably 1856 pounds,
Is smooth faced, nut has evidently been doing
his best for some time to cultivate m istache
and 10 altogether Tho unsophisticated youth
one meets daily In the rural districts. He
wore the regulation uniform.
Mr.: Is. j. Joyeioy appeared for shugrue and
the District Attorney for Colonel O. ID. Nc.
U6uiey, commandant of the Marine Corps.
htthe request of the District Attorney the
hearing was postponed until 10 o'clock on

II Is the impression OF the attorneys who
have passed judgment on tho case that the
boy cannot be held to tho enlistment, and that
no Will not be successfully prosecuted for per-
jury.
