hoard OF EDUCATION.


Looking over the Rules A gaIn-wash-
ington Camp Wishes to Present
Lawrence school with a Flag.
The Board of Education met last night,
and again wrestled with the new rules. Mr..
Adler brought up the question of manual
training for boys, and said that he thought
the boys should receive two years instead OF
one years instruction in the Normal train
ing school. Superintendent Dutton re.
marked that the principal of the Grammar
school wanted the course extended, for the
boys receive now no manual training in the
fifth and sixth grades. After some little dis
cussion it was decided to leave the rule as ii
now stands.
+ Mr.. Adler wanted the percentage for adj
mission to the High school raised from sixty
to seventy per cent, for if it was not raised
a new High school would soon have to be
built. Mr.. Carmalt stated that he had been
reliably informed that when the standard
was formerly raised from fifty to sixty pei
cent. that the teachers were instructed to
''mark up" the examination papers, SO as to
get the scholars into the High school. II
was decided to keep the per cent at sixty.
1t was reported to the board that w. j.
Atwater & Co. had sued the school district
for $500, and the matter was referred to the
committee on schools.
President Graves read a communication
from Harry Pursell, secretary Of the Wash
ington Camp, Patriotic Sons of Liberty, ir
which he stated that that order wanted te
present flag to the Lawrence school, and
the information was desired as to whether
the board objected to it's being presented
This letter explained that the flag would b
raised and foated every day by boy in tn,
school who had good record in his schoo
duties. 1t was further stated that the ordel
felt kindly disposed to presenting all thu
schools with a flag to be used for som,
special purpose. The communication wa
| referred to committee to enquire and re
port.

LIEUTENANT WILLIAMS RESIGNS.


why His Hesignations Was rendered.
First Lieutenant E. I. Williams of the
National Blues sent his resignation to Cap
tain A. 81. Embler yesterday. Since Lieu
tenant Williams has had the position of
military instructor at Dr.. Horizons military
academy at Cheshire,it has been inconvenient
for him to attend the drills of the Blues at
the armory. and it was only in consequence
of the condiction of the duties of the two
positions that the lieutenant reluctantly ten-
dered his resignation. Another reason
which prompted the officer to Withdraw from
the regiment was the fact that his absence
from drills interferes with the percentage
rating Of the company, and 40 the company
is making so much exer.ion to maintain
their position at the top, he determined to
resign. Lieutenant Williams is much at
tached to his associates and friends in Conn
pany d, and on their account he regrets that
circumstances indused him to sever his con-
nection with the National Blues

cATARRH.
Catarrhal Deafness---Hay Fever
A NEW HOME TREATMENT.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, or that they
are due to the presence of living parasites in
the lining membrane of the nose and eu-
stachian tubes. Microscopic research, how-
ever, has proved this to be fact, and the
result of this discovery is that q simple
remedy has been formulated whereby Ca
tarrh, catarrhal deafness and hay fever are
permanently cured in from one to three
I; simple applications made at home by the
patient once in two weeks.
N. B.-This treatment is not d snuff or ar
ointment; both have been discarded by rep.
utable physicians as injurious. A pamphle,
explaining this new treatment is sent free or

SUNK In A COLLISION.

The steamer oregon Runs Down she
bia Hiver-TwO Sailors Cut In Half.
PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. 27.-The Union
Pacific steamer Oregon ran into and sunk
the British ship Clan Mckenzie early this
morning at Coffin Rock on the Columbia
river. Charles Austin and Matthew
Reid, two colored sailors, were instantly
killed. They were asleep in the
forecastle of the ship and when the bow
of the Oregon struck her the sharp plate
of iron ran into the hunks in which the
sailors were lying, cutting the two men
in half. Charles Fish, coal-passer of the
Oregon, was injured but not fatally.
The Oregon was on her way down the
river en-route to San Francisco with full
cargo and passengers, and the Mackenzie was
at anchor on one side of the channel. The
| captain of the ship claims that his
lights were all properly displayed,
and that the vessel was incurred in good
style. The Oregon was running under
slow bell and ran her bow on the port side
into the starboard bow of the Clan Mckenzie,
a distance of thirty feet, tearing of the
Oregon's bow completely, and ripping ur
decks and railing for about forty
feet from the stern. Immediately
after the collision the ship began
to settle and soon sank in four fathoms oil
water. The Clan Mackenzie is q fine iror
| vessel It is thought that the vessel may bt
raised. She is valued at $50, 600 aud is sale
to be fully insured. The loss to the Oregon
| will be $40. 600.

MANY suFFERxRs IN NEW YORK.

NEW York, Dec. 27.-The number of per-
sons in New York and Brooklyn suffering
from influenza is very large and constantly
increasing. While no instance of death
due directly to influenza have been re-
ported, the number of deaths from pneu-
monia has increased so remarkably as
20 indicate some connection between
the epidemic of so-called influenza and pneu-
monia. For the past nine weeks the number
of deaths from pneumonia has been respect
lively as follows: 81, II, n, 70, 70, sc, 81,
81, 90. The last figures are for the week
ending December 81. The figures for the
week ending tomorrow will probably be

of all these cities claim that there il no dam
ger of serious results from the epidemic.

tacks here and say that the malady
could grow much worse without becoming
