Now that the civilian Commissioners are Dis.
srict men it is to be hoped the board win get
INTO line with public sentiment, especially on
school matters. The expression OF public opin-
ion, as reported In THE STAR and other city
papers. has been overwhelmingly adverse to the
Commissioners project of abolishing the school
board and upsetting the system of school man
agement under which our public schools have
grown up to rank with the first in
the country. This school board manage
ment has not only worked admirably in
the way of securing steady progress
towards the highest mark in educational
methods, but il has, by its thoughtful vigil
ance. efiectually bafiied the various attempts
OF ali sorts OF seheIners and cranks who have
lsbOred TO work in their jobs and miSchieyous
notions The judicious, sensible manner in
which the board headed off the insidlous at
tempt in behalf OF mixed schools affords one
instance OF the value of their services to the
community. The Commissioners ought to see
oy this time that they made a great mistake
IN medding with a system of school manage
ment that was working satisfactorily, and
the sooner they drop ali their '.advisory board
tinkering and so back 10 the old plan the better.
Their efforts to get up an advisory board worthy
OF the name seem, up 10 the present time to be
a pretty humiiiating failure. Most of the ap-
pointees decline promptly with thanks, but the
Howard University mixed-school advisers still
stick.

Senator kenna, of West Virginia, a democrat

James e. Blaine. their Executive, elected by
them, as they are engaged in now with Mr.

Not symptoms, bat the Disease.

II would seem TO be truth appreciated by ALL
and especially by professors of the healing art,
that to remove the disease, not to alleviate its
symptoms. should be the chief aim of medica-
ton. Yet in how many instances do we see this
truth admitted in theory, ignored in practice The
reason that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is sue
cessful in so many cases. with which remedies
previously tried we're inadequate to cope, is at
tributable to the fact that it is medicine which
reaches and removes the causes Of the various
maladies to which it is adapted. Indigestion,
fever and ague, liver complaint, gcut rheuma-
tism, disorder of the bowels, urinary affections
and other maladies are not paliiated merely, but
rooted out by it. 1t goes to the fountain head.
1t is really, not nominnlly, radical remedy.
and it endows the system with an amount Of Wig
OF which is its best protection against disease.

A Brutal Conductor.

Il can't let this girl travel over this
road on that half-fare ticket" said the
new conductor to the Widow Flapiack.
"Why not? What is the matter with
my little grip"
"She is no child. She is more than
half grown"
well, il that don't beat everything
then I'll give it up. Here poor little
Mamie has been travelling over this road
on child's ticket for the last ten years.
and now all at once you say she is no
child. That's new way to worry the
travelling public.
She paid full fare, and then the dimin-
utive girl in the corner pulled herself

Dogs. too IRE queer animals around
locomotives, continued the engineer.
Once there was dog at Milton that
always watched for the train, and when
e came had race with it. That dog
ran alongside the engine. It was too
smart to get on the track. One day he
started a. usual. but it was little
further from the station, and he was
running with all his might looking mp
at the carss trying to bark, when the
train went over q culvert, and 'bouse'
went the dog head first down in the
mud and water several feet. That dog
must have imagined the train did it,
because he never after that would run
. race with it. Once, while running at
very fast clip, noticed two little boys
near house with big bulldog. The
dog was an old bruiser. ready to fight
near, the boys clapped their hands and
shouted to the dog to go for him. The
dog di go for the locomotive. The
pilot caught him. threw him clear over
the smoke-stack, and when he came
down he struck with his back on the
valve-stem. rolled off in the ditch, and
ran for home, without being hurt"
isn't it little extraordinary" in
CURED the reporter, "that the dog
wasn't hurt?"
"Oh. no." said the engineer. Il
have seen chickens on the track run
over by the locomotive, and they would
come out under the driving wheelwith-
out being killed. The wind must have

like puff-ball around without hurting
them. But when you strike big OBJ
ject it is different. One night big
bull got on the track. When he saw
the light of the locomotive he paved
and circled his tail and beloved, head
down, ready for battle. We had no
time to shut down, and the only way to
do is to strike such objects with full
force, In order to knock them away
from the track. If they fall on the
track they are liable to get under the
wheels and throw the engine off the
rails. So l gave her "a few pegs and
the machine fairly raised from the track.
When it struck the bull it was square
on the head. The big animal was
thrown twenty or thirty feet. and then
rolled down a steep embankment and
went out of sight. Once in while q
dog will be thrown with great force.

A Beautiful and Curious Old Mexican
CITY.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle, who has visited Jalapa,
writes:
Few cities in the world are so favor
ably situated as Jalapa, preserving
eternal summer, with little change of
atmosphere, from year to year, yet suf-
ficiently elevated to escape the banetul
vapors of the tierria caliente (hot
lands) which it overlooks. 1t is par
excellence pa adise for the artist, the
naturalist, the hunter. and the health
seeker, and ia the loveliest of resorts,
both for winter and summer. People
from the far north come down here to
escape the winters cod: the citizens
of era Cruz, Cordova, and other fever
haunted districts come up in summer
time to enjoy the refreshing breezes
and secure immunity + ON disease, and
invalids from all parts of the henri
fphere, especially consumptive, are sent
here to recuperate at any time of year.
In short, the ancient mountain town,
where-alike at all seasons-brill ant
birds sing litanies and flowers wave per-
fumed censers. i, the quaintest and
loveliest spot on the continent. The
vanilla bean, with its valuab @ extract
and volatile oil, is indigenous to the To-
cality and thrives in especial luxuriance
in these evergreen forests that hide the
ancient cities of the Totonaca, who
supplied the article to the Aztec kings
400 wears ago.
