There ia 70 doubt but that this city
needs some more accessible fire alarms.
The alarm attachment on the City Hall
hell. the PRESBYTERIAN Church bell and
Central School building bell are all OF
them locked ND at night, and all other
times except when the buildings are in use,
The most important time for sending an
alarm is at night, when there Is almost 10
possible opportunity. Some arrangement
should be made whereby the rope attached
10 the alarm hammer of these bells might
be exrosd, so that any person with at
least q very little trouble could sound an
alarm.
On Monday last the first real trouble
concerning the introduction of the colored
pupils into the public schools occurred.
In the High school there are two cclored
girls, and one ofthsm was placed among 3
party of white children. As a result three
children left the school and refuse to re-
turn unless they can be removed from the
blacks. It is thought by many that the
teachers of the High school acted rashly IN
placing the colored children where they
were likely to make trouble while there
were vacant seats elsewhere IN which the
white children would not object to the
colored ones sitting.

hole in much less time than the old-fash-
toned way Of cutting away r. upper sur
