OF the committee on grades and grading,

Mr.. Wheeler opposed the adoption of the
report, 'rhere aren't funds enough TO do

This brought Mr.. Lowry to his feet
with pn array OF figures, by which he

THE DEFEATED SCHOOL BONDS.
The Members or the Board of Educa-
fi0n HnndiCannnd.


tion Handicapped.
Since the school bond proposition for the
issuance of $500, 900 for the erection Of new
school buildings, and for the purchase Of new
school sites, has been defeated by vote Of
the electors, nothing will be done at present
by the board Of education toward increasing
the accommodation, further than renting
buildings as has been done heretofore.
Many OF the members Of the board are dis
gusted with the defeat of the bonds. They
claim that the defeat was due to the inuiffer-
ence of people who are not fully alive to the
needs of the city, and also to the present
plumbers STRIKE.
Some think that if the $50, 600 proposition
for the addition to the high school had not
been submitted, the general proposition
would have carried, and then the board
would have secured the other necessary new
buildings the coming season. AS it is now,
public educational facilities are inadequate,
and the members of the board make this
statement without hesitancy.
Speaking to a reporter for THE BEE, last
night, Sheriff Coburn, who is one of the
members of the board, stated that the bond
issue would be dropped for awhile, at least
He doesn't think the High school addition
the defeat of the bonds. After the elapse Of
u few months, it is thought that the question
will be taken up again, for the reason that
more school room is needed and must be had.
About all the money the board has on
hand is S13, 900, which is the balance in the
site and building fund. This amount Mr..
Sholes wants to appropriate to the erection
of temporary building at the Paul school
site, to relieve the overcrowded condi-
tion of the Long school, He offered a
resolution to that effect Mt Monday nights
meeting of the board, but action was re-
ferred for two weeks.
The members Of the board say that the
people will be anxious for better and more
adequate facilities before the proposition is
put to them again to vote upon.

The American Girl.

The American girl is gradually in
vading every department OF operatic
representation, and always with success,
says the st. James's Gazette. For years
past more leading prime-donne have
been produced by the United States
than by any European country. Madame
Patti is almost an American; Madame
Albani is Canadian: Madame Valleria,
Madame Nordica, Madame Nevada and
Miss Van Zandt, with many more whose
names will at once sugUest themselves,
are oil from the United States. Miss
Geraldine Ulmar, an American, is one
of the most attractive members Of the
Savoy company; and Miss Huntington,
another American, reigns supreme at
the prince of Wales. We now hear
OF a new American Juliet, Miss Games,
who, coming after Madame Patti ut the
Paris opera house, has almost equalled
Madame PATHS success; of an American
dancer, Mademoiselle Flint, who has
made her mark in the grand ballets Of
Milan and of Rome. Stendhal was GER
tainly mistaken when, rather more than
fifty years ago, he wrote that America
was the freest country in the world, but
one to which Italian music could never
appeal.

filled with gold coins from al up to 500.
Tho only plausible explanation is
this: 1t is we'll known by parties living
here that during the late war party
of bushwhackers buried bootleg full
OF gold somew where on Walnut Creek.
The monster was found near small
raviue, whore 1t is supposed the gold
was washed out Of its hiding place and
found by the snake. Besides, not being
able to imagine how he managed TO
swallow 1t, we can't conceive why he
attempted it unless to his race belongs
the greed for gold which is prominent
trait in human nature, since man
yielded TO his ancestral tempter.
AT any rate the snake got IL, then
Jim, who is now the happo possessor OF
SO, $40 in gold. We hope he will divide
with Ed and prosper. The snake that
swallowed the canoe and nine Indians
was much larger one than this, but
for actual value this one takes the cake.
