Unusual Case OF Hydrophob1a.

CARTHAGE, ILL.,, May 12.-The case of
Arthur Yates, who recently died of by
drophobia, is attracting attention as being
unusual in the symptoms ordinarily shown
by that disease. The boy was not thrown
into commissions by the sight or sound of
water, but asked for and drank of it.
The doctor poured water from one vessel
to another in the room and the boy did
not seem to notice it. TIE wounds
on the face from the bite of the dog
healed nicely. and never changed color or
gave pain, The spasms did not begin
until a few hours before death. At times
the boy was so rational hat his parents
thought the doctor must be deceiving
them as to the nature of the case. There
was no swapping, biting or barking like a
dog. 1t resembled very much an ex-
treme case of delirium. Hundreds of
dogs have been killed in the county, and
the state board of health is investigating
the matter thoroughly.

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION,

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
The school board at an adjourned
meeting last evening closed the
work of hiring teachers for the en-
suing year, as follows : Principal,
W. G. Crocker grammar depart
ment, Miss Flora Austin inter
mediate, Miss Ncttie Mexican !;
second primary Miss Mary A. frost !;
first primary, Miss Alice Hawkes..
In the interest of economy and in
obedience to more or less Of demand
the board had thoroughly canvasscd
the project of reducing teachers sal
aries.and although finding that Wah-
peton was paying less than any city
of note in the northwest for teachers,
cut the school year down u month
making it nine instead of ten
months, and reducing the principals
salary from Sll00 to $1,000, it re-
ceived a memorial signed by ~ tax
payers praying that Mr.. Crocker's
salary be put back to Sll0O for the
ensuing year, which. however, was
not fully acted upon.
Alderman Michael Sclimitt APP
peared before the board and stated
that unless the parish school could
secure aid from some source, they
would be obliged to close, which
would turn loose some $50 additional
school children who would have to
be provided for by the public school
board-requiring additional cost for
r0om-rent and three additional
teachers. And after thorough dis
cussion it was thought the better
course would be to grant to the
parish schools their territorial per
capita, which amounts tosome $3.50
per annum. The sisters have been
teaching for $50 per month and had
served notice that they could not
longer do so. The arrangement
may be countermandcd any time,
and likely will be as soon as the
public school facilities arc enlarged
and capable of accommodating ali
pupils-or approaching such a state
of affairs. After consideration il
seemed that such action by the board
would lie the better way out of the
difficulty.

COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES

crowded house, the following beinq

School. 'e
The graduates were the Misses
Maud w. Howry, Eva D. VanDer-
veer, Mary E. Mexican and Stephen
b. Soule, and while the programme
throughout was we'll made up it was
just as well rendered, completely
captivating the house. Miss Howry
in her reading, the "Miser's Fate"
showed how utterly void of any sort
of good is the boarding of gold-and
how it might really turn to dis
comliture. In this instance the
miser was in his private vault gloat-
ing over his bags of gold, when sud-
denly the trap door was closed and
locked, with the key outside entomb-
ing its victim, and with the candle
blown out, left him in abject
miscry-from which there was no
escape, the character being very
we'll rendered. Miss VanDeryeer
in her "Class Prophecies" a poem,
depicted Wahpeton twenty years
hence, as bustling city, and the
work was we'll worded, and superbly
rendered. Miss VanDerveer is
wonderfully gifted in the matter of
reading. Stephen Z. Soule's essay
"Success" was a good production but
only fairly we'll rendered, and it
rested with Miss Mexican to present
the valedictory.
We think, however, that upon the
whole the reading of Miss Leorra
Ruggles, "Emancipation of man"
was the feature of the evening. The
young lady impersonated strong
minded woman who had encountered
'the youngest man on the staff" of a
great newspaper, which really in
volved a treble character, and for a
girl so young and little experienced
in acting, did splendidly-was un-
questionably the feature of the
evening.
The address and presentation of
diplomas by. Mayor Swaine, was, we
think, an especially applicable and
fine effort. 1t was the right thing
in the right place, admirably said.
An important feature in the ex-
crclses was the school singing in
concert. Prof. Crocker is an accom-
plshed vocalist and he can get al
class down to fine work in this re.
spect as quickly and as perfectly as
the next one, which adds very ma
tcrially to his success as an educator.
These were Wahpeton's first COM
mencement exercises, and although
the number graduating was small,
none the less interest was shown on
that account,

Clara Belle at Home.

Franklin File is the name by which
the dark-eyed man, suave of manner,
with a broad, white brow and black
moustache, is known to the newspaper
men of the country, says the New
York Graphic. The outside public
know him as"Clara Belle" "Gilsey, Os-
car" and by the divers other nom de
plumes with which he masks his per-
sonality. File is typical "all-round
American newspaper man; active,
keen, crisp, cynical, with satanical
humor and a matcnless "News" style.
l know only his outside work; his bits
of local color. his etchings of people,
his photographs of the life and char
acter and circumstance of New York.
He writes of Gotham as only a Go
thamite can. He knows the town and
it's people and habits of thought and
ways of looking at things. To his fell
low-craftsmen the statement that he is
an ornament of the San staff describes
his work. His income is quoted at
$4,000 and he twists every dollar of it
out of the end of his fingers. Hard
work? Yes. but s'what big money Is
maue without it?" us Col Ochiltree,
who knows, would say. This is a
mighty good profession, though, for
bright men who work, and it never
paid better than now.

A "Reminiscences Of Mrs. Stowe.

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe has been
feeble of late, and rarely writes any
thing but brief letters to her friends
She did, how ever, for charity's sake,
contribute few lines to paper pub
lisned during the progress of fair in
Hartford. The contribution was short
but amusing: 'When | was s years
of age | had favorite cat, of which |
was fond. Puss was attacked with
fits, and in her paroxysms flew round
the top of the wall, jumped onto our
heads, and scratched and tumbled up
our hair in a frightful way. My IA
ther shot her, and when she was cold
and dead my former fondness re-
turned. l wrapped her nicely in
cloth, and got my brother to dig
grave and set up flat stone for
monument Then went to my older
sister, Catharine, and asked her to
write me an 'epithet' to put on the
the stone. She wrote:
Here lies poor Kit
Who had fit,
And acted qneer:
Killed with gun,
Her race is run,
And she lies here.
II pasted this upon the stone, and
was cOmfOrted."
