STEUBENvILLE, May 26-.The Board of
Education, at regular meeting held Mon
day evening, reelected Prof A. P. Rowe
Principal Of the High School, at the same
salary as paid in former years, 81 400.
Prof. has been Principal of the Steuben-
vile High Schools for years, and it is main
ly ldue to his efforts and talents as an edu-
Gator that it has reached the high standard
it has obtained, standing second to none in
the State. According to the ideas Of two
or three members of the Board, who are
two narrow minded to obliterate their po-
litical feeling for the benefit Of the youth
of the city, Prof. Rowe has committed an
objectionable sin in being Democrat, and
ever since the people were unwise enough
to elect them members of the Board they
have used their utmost endeavors to have
Prof Rowe ousted from his position. But
fortunately the balance Of the Board are
too truly gentlemen, and have the welfare
| of the schools too much at heart to be in
fluenced, and the disturbing element never
grows any larger. 1t is still confined with
in the limits it occupied one year ago. The
graduating class OF 'SS, on Thursday, pub
lished communication in the Gazette, in
which they scored Messrs. Day and Mccoy
numerically, and called attention to the
misstatements Of facts which they made in
their eaeerness to accomplish their purpose.
The class also pays a high compliment to
the ability of Prof. Rowe as an educator.
The BARRIERS Of the city, taking their cue
from the people who desired 10 close up the
postoffice and every other convenience on
Sunday, have decided to close their shops

Others who are occupied until late hour
on Saturday night, have found il great
advantage to have their barbering done on
Sunday morning, and as the law of Ohio
does not forbid the operation of barber
shops on the first day of the week they
propose to still continue the practice, and
if none of the already located shops will
afford them the opportunity TO do go, they
intend to raise a fund, fit up a new shop
and obtain BARRIERS from other plac Is TO do
the work. The plan spoken OF ia for each
to place five dollars in a pool, purchase the
outfit, give man possession, and then
take out the amount advanced in trade.
When the barber has worked out the en-
tire amount the goods will be his own
property. Already fifteen persons have
agreed to the plan, and they pledge them.
selves to use their best eudeavoTs to obtain
trade for the new institution, and TO remain
with it after the Sunday closing project
has fallen through.
