The Board of Education and sshOOl Plans

The Board of Education and School Plans.
To the Editor Of the Register:
SIR:-After reading in the LnteRigencer
the report of the proceedings of the Board
of Education, would like TO say a few
words on architects competition and re-
munerstion for public work. The Board
want the benefit Of the ideas and the ex-
perience of architects in the arranging OF
plans for new school building on the
leland, and should be willing to pay for
the same.
am willing to believe that the gentle
men of the Board have acted either in
ignorance or without mature thought, and
not with the intention Of insulting the
architectural profession, in placing them
on a level with gamblers, by asking them
to take their chances. There is one
(ptize) offered among an lat present. un-
decided number of chances.
When the Jewish Orphan Asylum of
Cleveland, o, was projected, the board Of
directors invited such architects as they
desired to compete, the unsuccessful COM
peting architects receiving 800, the Board
recognizing the fact that architects were
human and could not live on chances.
Wheelirg's Beard of Education, if de-
,i;ing number of designs from which to
select a building, should be willing to pay
a fair price for the benefit they expect to
gain from them. The only business and
Just plan for the Board to adOpti is to invite
such architects as they desire to compete
and offer q sum of money to each one suffi-
Gent to pay the cost of getting up the pre-
liminary drawings desired, the successful
competitor to receive the usual architects
fees of per cent. for completing plans AID
drawings and experimenting construction,
the per cent. to include and cover the
cost of the successful architects prelimina-
ry sketches.
This is the only Just and fair way for
the Board to act, and l hope no architect Of
Wheeling will belittle himself by compel
ing on the terms at present proposed by
the Board. respectfully,
o. S. PHILPoTT, Architect.

he Prompt in Appointments.

Tho Manufacturers Gazette thinks
there is nothing moro damaging to a
business than to be found wanting in the
matter of promptness In filling orders.
A great many firms will promise to have
an order at a certain time, when they
are confident In their own minds that 1t
will be almost an utter impossibility to
do &c. This is done to secure the orders,
but cannot fail of a damaging effect In
the future. 1t is just as important that
an order be filled at tho time agreed as
that any other engagement or appoint
ment be kept. The man who arranges
for n meeting with another at a certain
time Is expected to be on time. In these
days of great enterprise and push, every
business man has his time fully taker
and promptness in keeping an appoint
mont Is an important matter to him.
Just so 1t is In filling orders. Prompt
ness is as much to the credit of q concern
us is the quality of the work or the mate
rial used.

Corp. Tanner Wins n Bet.

In the office of one of the prominent
hotels one evening was overheard quite
an amusing story of Corp. Tanner ami
his two artificial legs. 1t seems that the
corporal is very fond of fine horses and
undertook TO raise n few last year. He
had n particularly fine horse, a thor
oughbred, and he would let no one use
him but himself. One day while the
stableman WINS exercising him he acci-
dentally stepped into a mud hole and
sprainod q leg 30 badly that the doctor
advised having the horses hoof bathed
in hot water three times n day.
One day, when the gallant corporal
was giving the horse the customary bath,
n friend of his came along and told him
1t was cruelty to animals to batho tho
horses foot in such warm water, and
asked him how would he like 1t II he had
TO put his foot In it. To which the cor
poral replied that he would not mind 1t
at all His friend, thinking he saw a
chance to win some money, bet him n
hundred dollars that he would not keep
his foot In the water for five minutes.
The bet was no soone said than 1t was
accepted by the corporal, who not only
put his foot in 1t, but put his whole leg
In and kept it there for five minutes.
The friend paid the bet, but probably
has not to this day found out how 1t was
possible for the supposed victim to keep
his foot in boiling water for Ave minutes.

The suicide mania is making great raw
ages in the Austrian army. Shortly
after the death of the crown prince an
officer of the Prince of Wales hussars
blew his brains out. A few days ago the
colonel of the Sixty-second regiment of
the line shot himself I'm Hungary. But
ono of the most extraordinary cases of
suicide on military record is now report
ed from Klausenberg. Lieut.. Mangesius,
ono Of h most popular officers of the
garrison, proceeded on Saturday to the
barracks, where his company WIS quar-
tered, and was observed to be absent
minded and depressed. He went into
n room where a number of the new mag
azine rifles were kept, and loaded one of
them with n bullet. He then called In
two men Addressing one Of them he
said: Take this rifle and let us see il
you can aim properly. Point at my left
eye" The soldier had no idea the wea-
pom was loaded, and, obeying the words
Of command, make ready" Present"
Fire" he discharged the rifle at n dis
TANGO of three yards into tho officers eye.
The bullet went through his skull, and
death was, of course, instantaneous. He
left n letter for his captain saying that
the soldier who shot him was innocent.

There was, some time ago, a doctor
whose morning levees were crowded be-
yond description. 1t was his pride and
boast that he could feel his patients
pulse, look at his tongue, probe at him
with his stethoscope, write his prescrip-
ton, pocket his fee, in a space of time
varying from two to five minutes. One
day an army man was shown into the
consulting room, and underwent what
may be called the instantaneous process.
When 1t was completed the patient shook
hands heartily with the doctor and said,
II am especially glad to meet you, as /
have often heard my father, Col. Fores-
ter, speak of his old friend, DR.. l."
WHAT" exclaimed the doctor, ARE you

night, wrote her a note. She replied

the envelope and scaling 1T up. On
reaching the room of the young man he
was met by Juddie Pitcher, who seized
the note, scanned it for a moment, then
placed the side which had been sealed
up to his lips and impressed upon it a
fervent kiss, remarking at the same time,
''She sealed this up" A broad smile
played over the little darky's face as he
replied, mo, sir, boss, l sealed dat letter

During tho year 1884 1 was located in
st. Louis, and OF several occasions had
observed q fine st. Bernard dog stalking
with dignity up Chestnut street. He
was owned by q lawyer named JACKIE, on
Third street, who regularly sem him on
errands to his home. On one occasion 1
saw him coming up the street with a
basket full of something, probably meat,
and at his heels was a small "cur of low
degree" which was persistently swapping
at him us If endeavoring to get him TO
drop his charge, when the little dog could
sail in for n division of the contents. The
large dog stopped twice on the block,
turned round and looked at his tormentor
and resumed his pace until he reached
me, when, looking up into my face with
an expression that almost said, "Please
mind this for q moment" he laid the
basket at my feet, turned and with one
bound had the cur by the neck, shook
him most numerically, rolled him in the
gutter and dropped him. The cur took
very little time In getting u of sight,
not ven stopping to shake himself. The
st. Bernard then picked up his basket
and with n satisfied dir went on his way.

A King Who Ent. on Go,a.

In one respect, at least, King Humbert
Of Italy surpasses in domestic magnif-
cence all the other sovereigns of Europe.
According to q Paris letter he breakfasts,
lunches and dimes of golden plate. Vic
toria has a spread of gold plate for the
tables of Buckingham palace, but it is
brought forth only on state occasions.
There is golden service In many of the
royal households of the continent, but 1t
is either employed only at state dinners,
as in England, or used only at the prin-
cipsl family meal of the day. Humbert
alone places a golden spoon In his mouth
on rising, and removes it only on retir-
ing, and yet there are probably many
people in Italy who are as happy as their
king New York Star.

Mr.. 8. G. Harris, q horse dealer of
Vincennes, Ind, is the owner of a won
derful dog. 1t is a Scotch collie and
seems possessed of almost human intelli-
gence. Mr.. Harris and Boz gave a pri-
vate exhibition In the board of trade
building the other morning. His per-
formances-they seem to show too much
intelligence to be called tricks-amazed
everybody. Bank bills and coins of
various denominations were placed on
the floor and the dog was requested to
take his choice. He Immediately picked
up a $40 dollar bill, which was the
largest in sight.
"What piece would you give me, Boz?'
asked Mrl Harris.
Boz selected a nickel and dropped It
into Mr.. Harris hand. Mr.. S. A. Kent
came in while the dog was performing,
and said: "Boz, l want you to bring me
five dollars and n half" Boz picked up n
s. bill and n fifty cent piece, gave Mr..
Kent an T~m-onto-you expression, and
trotted over to Mr.. Harris with the
money. "Find Mr.. Richardson" wa the
next order. Boz trotted up to that gen
tleman, looked up into his face and
wagged his tail.
'Pick his pocket" said Mr.. Harris.
Boz grabbed Mr.. Richardson's hand
kerchief out of his coat pocket and
trotted off with it. 81 want S15," said
Mr.. Kent. Boz picked up a $40 md a
s. bill. Bring me the rest of it." Boz
barked and growled. His next perform
nee was to bring n hat from the window
and n piece of paper from the waste
basket in the corner, and he also gavean
imitation of the way the clown dog
prayed in the circus.-Chicago News.

II. Mosso, of Turin, having carried out
a series Of experiments with the blood of
cells finds that It possesses marked poi
sonous properties Even to the tongue
it has an insupportable acridity, and a
very small quantity Of the serum Is suf-
ficient to kill a dog. Half a cubic cent?
meter injected beneath the skin Of b dog
weighing thirty-flve pounds killed 1t in
four minutes. At this rate, an eel
Weighing Eve pounds would contain
enough poison to dispatch ten men. The

when introduced via the stomach, and 1t
