tendent of public instruction. has pre-
pared circular to be sent to superintend-
ents. principals and teachers of public
schools, fixing March 8 and az the dates
of holding examinations for the state fair
school exhibit. DR.. Edw ards says that

A sad case is that of Mrs. A. Hinder
brandt, wife of Mr.. Hilderbrandt, OF
Third avenue and Twenty-fourth street.
She has been suffering with mental trou.
bles for some time and this morning she
became SO violent that II was necessary
to restrain her. and she was taken In
charge by the authorities. An inquisi.
ton Is being made into her condition this
afternoon. She is the mother of seven
little children. and Mr. Hilderbrandt has
much sympathy 10 his great misfortune,
John Ward, the leader of the Brother
hood base ball movement. in speaking
of the new Philadelphia league base bal
team, of which Bob Allen, OF last
years Dsvenports and q Rock Island
favorite. is member. pays the great
short-stop deserved compliment. He
says: The "Phillies" have jewels In
Allen and Hamilton, both of whom cover
a great deal of ground and bat like Tro-
jams. That man Allen surprised me
| He gets over as much ground as any
short stop l ever saw. and can pick up a
ball and throw 1t as quickly and accur-
ately as any of them. The 'Phillies' will
surely not be weak at short"
There Ia talk of q petition to the coun-
Gil at the Monday evening meeting of the
necessity of relieving Street Commis>
sioner Harris of some of the ar.
duous duties of his office. Take
for instance q snow storm like
last nights and consider how much anx
iety and back ache It would give q
man OF Mr. Harris energetic disposition.
This morning he got down as early as
O'Clock and while Officer Sexton had as.
sumed cart of the duties by clearing al
the walks about the city building, 1t wal
nevertheless apparent that the stree
commissioner was conscious of the re.
sponsibility Of his office or he would no
have got around 30 early In the morning
II would probably also have contributed
immensely to his mental and physica
ease IL Mr.. Sexton had cleaned othel
walks in the city that should receive tn,
street superintendent attention; but b,
did not, and consequently they were lef
undone. Mr.. Harris case certainly re-
ouires the attention Of the city council
