The New School Building.

The school board met in adjourned session
last evening to discuss plans for the pro-
posed new building on Washington avenue.
The full board was present. with President
Atkins in the chair. The following commit
tees were appointed; Teachers rules, school
books and course of study, Rain and Blax-
sim; janitors and supplies, Stewart and Law
son; finance, Lawson and Couch; grounds,
repairs, etc, Couch and Stewart; fuel and
warming school houses, Blaxsim and Rain.
After lengthy discussion the committee
en- grounds, etc, were instructed to advertise
for three-story, eighteen-room building,
cost not to exceed $4,000. All plans are to
be on hand by the 9TH of April. 1t was not
decided what material would be used, but it
will probably be brick with stone trimmings.
The members of the board manifested de-
sire to erect as fine building as possible for
the appropriation, and one that will be a
credit to the city. Plans for the proposed
building viii be examined at the next meet
ing of the board, and it is probable that
some definite action will be taken at that
time.

A Reprieye For the Condemned.

Wretched men and women long con-
demned to suffer the tortures Of dyspep-
sia, are filled with new hopes after n
few doses of Hostetters Stomach Bit
ters. This budding hope blossoms into
the fruition of certainty, if the Bitters
is persisted in. 1t brings reprieve to
all dyspeptics who seek its aid. Flatu-
lence, heartburn, sinking at the pit of
the stomach between meals, the ner-
vous tremors and insomnia of which
chronic indigestion is the parent, disap-
pear with their hateful progenitor.
Most beneficent of stomachicsl who can
wonder that in so many instances it
awakens grateful eloquence in those
who, benefited by it, speak voluntarily
in its behalf. 1t requires graphic pen
to describe the torments of dyspepsia,
but in many testimonial received by the
proprietors of the Bitters, these are
portrayed with vivid truthfulness. Con-
stipation, biliousness, muscular debility,
malarial fever, and rheumatism are re-
lieved by it.

Rich Newsnaner Men.

All the chief editors of the leading
daily papers Of New York are men of
vast wealth, writes John Swinton, and
yet nearly every one of them is hard
worker in his business. The richest of
them all is, doubtless, Mr.. Bennett Of
the Herald, who is still spoken of as
young Bennett" though he is hasten
ing towards the fiftieth year of hls life,
most of which is spent in Europe. The
one who has the largest income at this
time is, doubtless, Mr.. Joseph Pulitzer,
of the World, whose fortune is the re-
suit of four or five years of enterprise.
The wealth of Mr.. Dana of the
Sun will be increased this year
by the revenue of his new
evening issue. Mr.. Reid of the Tri-
bune has grown to by a rich man during
the last ten years from the income of
his paper and of his immense building
in which it is published. Mr.. Jones of
the Times, who has a lieutenant in the
chair as editor. is a millionaire. Mr..
Ottendorfer of the Staatz-Zeitung ranks
among the richest editors of the city.
Mr.. Albert Pulitzer of the Journal has
been raised to fortune by his paper
within few years. Mr.. Godkin of the
Post is a rich man, and so is Mr.. God
win of the Commercial Advertiser; and
so is Mr.. Stone of the Journal of Com
merce; and so is Mr.. Field of the Mail,
who delegates the duty of editor. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Dorsheimer Of the
Star is the least wealthy among the
editors of important dailies in New
York, but if his paper should find the
pathway of success, only brief period
of time will be needed to fill his Golfers.

The Labor Problem.

There was goodly sized audience last
evening to greet Hon. r. G. Horr, of Mich
igan, and to listen to what he might say con-
corning the labor question. He spoke for
over two hours and held the attention of all
closely His vein of humor was the most
interesting feature of the lecture, and there
was much good, hard sense in his mode
Of treating the question. He did not
pretend to have any sure cure for all the
Ills of life He showed the Righteousness of
thinking that morals could be legislated into
people, or that the wrongs of society could
altogether be corrected by enactments of
congress. He thought that the only remedy
for existing troubles was for man to deal
justly by his fellow man. The wages should
be graded in accordance with what the
worker produced, and shall go us a
down as the value of the products. Such
questions as that of the eight-hour system
could not be settled by law. The working
classes should also use economy. Enough
money was spent yearly on tobacco and
whisky TO pay the national debt. Much of
this was spent by those who worked for daily
wages. The labor agitators, who are contin-
ually trying to make the laborers dis
satisfied, should endeavor to make them
more courageous in overcoming difficulties
and securing new victories. The hope of the
nation lay in the sanctity of the home. The
more homes there were the greater the Sc
curity.

Pushing on, small glaciers are visible
on all sides, winding their way down
through the mountain ravines. Ahead of
us one Of the grandest glaciers of the
Selkirks is visible, pronounced by some to
be several hundred feet in depth-a sea of
ice slowly working its course TO the valley
below, doing battle with and conquering
huge rocks on its way. Here we see
enormous slabs of clear, green ice, as big
as the side Of house. tumbled together,
some standing erect, like immense grave
stones. Now we are startled by sharp
cracking sound, which resounds through
the mountains, as some large bulk OF ice
topples over or settles deeper in its place.

Industries We Owe to the Shakers.

The Shakers have a keen appreciation

Every one of them has some useful work
to do, according to age, sex and strength.
Perhaps no class of people has done more
for the country than they, when it is re-

They originated the drying of sweet corn
for food more than fifty years ago, and
suggested the modern improved kilns for
that purpose. They were the first in this
country to institute the raising, papering
and vending of garden seeds in the present
styles They originated in this country
the botanic practice Of medicine, and first
dried and prepared medicinal herbs and
roots for market. They were the first to
make brooms of broom brush, and, in
fact. originated the entire broom business:
The first buzz saw was manufactured by
the Shakers at Harvard, Mass, and used
both there and at New Lebanon. The
Shakers first invented and used the plan
ing and jointing machines for dressing
flooring and ceiling lumber. They were
the inventors and manufacturers Of cut
nails. The first machine for cutting and
bending card teeth and punching the
leather for setting was invented and used
at Mount Lebanon, and for years the
Shakers had a practical monopoly of all
the above named trades and forms of
business. New York World.

sponsible positions as secretaries or clerks
Of institutions. Take for instance one
item; The association had during the

its quarters, and it was important to know
the exact date that certain buildings were
occupied. There was nothing on record,
not even in the minutes, to show where
the meetings were held. Almost invariably
the record would open The association
