The female Superintendent OF schools
appends her report which is a Ieinarka-
BILE document. This lady was formerly
a teacher in the Randolph Normal School
and can see no good ia any teacher VINO
is not a graduate of that institution, ana
calls none of the schools in town GOOD
but those taught by those graduates.
Now we donot presume to question tue ex-
cellence of the schools taught by those
graduates, but we do know of schools IN
town during the past year not taught by
graduates of the Normal School where
excellent work has been done. We also
know that some of the poorest schools
ever held in this town were taught Dy
graduates from the Randolph Normal
School. which would indicate that all
graduates from that institution are not
successful teachers. The report SAYS
''ln this county the questions at the writ
ten examinations of teachers were easier
than those used at the entrance examl-
nation at the Normal. Should Tot our
teachers be able TO at least enter the
Normal SCHOOL, Now we do not dis
pute the truth of this, yet ii is a we'll
known fact that IN years gone by, sever
al would-be teachers in this vicinity have
failed TO pass "A successful examination
in this town and were refused certificates
to teach, but did enter the State Normal
School successfully. All of which leads
us to believe that all of the Normal
School graduates are not good teachers
and that there are some excellent teach
ers who never attended such an institu-
ton and that a person strongly prelu-
diced in favor of any particular school
makes no better town Superintendent
of schools than some others.

be made for the benefit OF the Pennsylvania

tribute, and the different committees found
their task an easy one for they met ready
response and left few, IL any places empty
handed.
Several OF the ward committees found it
impossible to begin work during the fore.
noon, as suggested by the meeting, but were
on hand shortly after noon and worked
like Troians. Messrs. Hamilton, Wood and
Warren Of the Third ward, were particular.
ly successful and by 1 o'clock had consider.
ably over $500 ON their list with quite a
number OF places and individuals still to be

JOHN WAS HUNGRY.
A Chinese PurIoiner OF Hams Nailed in

A Chinese PurIoiner OF Hams Nailed in
the Very Act.
Yesterday morning, between 8 and A
O'Clock, Officers Walters and Leland made
q very clever capture-something by the
way, which they are doing remarkably fire..
quent Of late.
While on the corner Of Main and Broad
way they observed a Chinaman coming
down the former street, and in an instant
he disappeared. So sudden was his disap-
pearance that the officers concluded to in.
vestigate it and at once started up the
street as far as Granite. At the corner
they turned into the vacant lot, where the
Centennial hotel stood, and then
into the rear Of the st. Nicholas.
Here they waited q few minutes
when suddenly they saw a dark
from sliding down a o p which was thrown
across the high board fence enclosing the
hotel yard. Leland thought it was q
monkey, Abe Heyman's, which had escaped
from it's owner and the two started to.
wards it. They had taken only q step or
two before they recognized the object to be
q very ~diminutive Chinaman who had
scaled the fence. To one end of the rope
four big hams were fastened, the other end
reaching across the fence and was tied to a
stove pipe projecting from the kitchen. The
officers examined matters and found that
John had brokeni into the store-room of the
hotel and "lifted" the hams.
The Chinaman was at n time employed
in the hotel and was thoroughly familiar
with the premises.
When arrested he took matters with
characteristic Chinese indifference and re-
marked, "me no care"
He was jailed.

Sisters Captain Thurston, hooked a huge
shark by the nose with a cod hook. They
got the monster to the surface alongside

again and again as though it were cut with
a sharp ak. Then they drove a harpoon

while they got into a boat and attacked
him with axes, killing him after a desperate
fight. The shark proved to be too large to
take on board. so they got out his liver.

seen in those waters, being twenty-five feet
,ong and weighing probably over two tons.

The Biggest Flume Ever Built.

1t is claimed that the recently completed
San Diego fume is the most s~tupendous
ever constructed in the world, being only
a little short OF thirty-six miles long. An
idea of the gigantic character Of the work
may be obtained from the fact that the
amount Of lumber consumed vas more
than nine million feet, or allowing the very
considerable yield of ], 900 feet to each tree.
not less than nine thousand trees were re.
quired. In the course OF the fume there are
Bis trestles, the longest being /, ZOO
feet in length, 81 feet high and containing
Of q million feet of lumber. /
Another trestle is OF the same height, and /
loo 1eet long, the main timbers used in |
both OF these being 1Ox1O and SxS, being
put together on the ground and raised to
their position by horse power. The num-
Der Of tunnels liz the course OF the lume is
light, the longest of which is 2,1OO feet, the
tunnels being in size exc feet, with convex.
roofing; each mile of the aume re-
luired an average OF o~ne-fourth Of a million
eet OF lumber for its construction, and the
edwood used entirely in the box is two
inches in thickness throughout.

Several OF $500 each were announced.
Secretary Proctor was It the white house

was to know the identity oi such secret
officer.
Ex-Mayor Hamilton, who was present,
arose and asked permission Of the council
to speak on the subject.
Mayor Kenyon seemed inclined to think
that enough had been said on the matter,
and asked Mr.. Hamilton to be brief.
Mr.. Hamilton. however, would not
nave it that way and said that
cused he had q right to speak and that IL
he spoke at all it would be to say every
thing he wanted to say. With this prelude
he opened the fues Of his fiuency and al
lowed it 10 low, and the way he roasted
Mr.. Lewis and the manner IN which the In
vestigation had been held, was surprise to
the oldest inhabitant. Such q volley Of
sarcastic, invective and bitter and most
scathing diatribes was probably meyer
heard in the city. He handled Mr.. Lewis
in q manner that was simply terrific and il
ever q man was excoriated no excoriated
the gentleman who said he 'shad been cred.
IDLY informed" The speaker also blamed
the mayor Tor refusing to call q special
nesting OF council to hear report OF CON-
mittee, at the time thecommittee bad CON-
pleted it's investigation, and then gave MI.
Lewis another turning over for having said
aught that reflected on thename OF Captain
Coulter. Captain Coulter, he said, was
now dead and cared nothing for what those
on earth thought or believed OF him, but
that while in life he should have been
given that opportunity for clearing
himself OF the charges made against him,
which he demanded and the rigid, search.
ing and public Investigation which he in
sisted upon should have been made. In
closing his speech he asked that o public in
be made by the council, SO that
the public as well as the council might
know the facts and be assured that the
had done no whitewashing, but
reported facts as they were found.
w. j. Penrose. OF the Mining Journal, at
the conclusion OF Mr.. Hamilton's speech 4
attempted to defend Mr.. Lewis, and laid
the blame for all the trouble on ex-City At |
Speer, to whom be referred In any. !
thing but fattering terms.
Peace was now restored and the regular |
business OF council was renewed.
The street and alley committee reported
hat the matter OF the express nuisance
been investigated and recommended
nat no express or job wagons, excepting
passenger hacks, be allowed to stand on
street between Granite and Galens
treets and on Broadway and Park streets
100 feet from Main street, and sug.
ested that the city attorney be instructed
o draw an ordinance licensing express
Iagons to the full extent of the law, and
,lso to embrace a clause making 1t obliga-
DRY upon all dray and express men to OBJ
ain permission Of occupants OF houses on
ii streets to stand their wagons in front
I such premises.
The report al referred to the city at

ton OF the many who have not yet learned
OF Central park, I will try to answer The
above question. Central park is located
on the Montana Central railroad, sixteen
miles from Boulder and twenty-five miles
from Butte City. Central park is a pleas.
ure resort, q place, beautiful for location.
and easy OF access. It seems as though
when the foundation Of the everlasting hills
were laid, this place was designed Tor a
pleasure resort. The Great Architect OF the
Universe has put the touch OF beauty upon
this spot, and tho artistic hand oil man can
add nothing thereto. The magnificent
scenery, the towering mountains with their
rugged peaks, the evergreens, the beautiful
valley, with Bison creek running Through il.
with it's numerous flnny tribe. A large and
hall has been constructed for
the use and convenience Of pleasure seekers.
Near by this hall is a large spring whose
waters are as clear as crystal. This is one
the most desirable places for recreation.
