The Public School

At the school election on Saturday
afternoon, John II. HOffecker and Geo.
NJ. Stevenson were reelected commits
siOners without opposition for a period
of three years.
The question of heating the building
with steam is one that should claim the
attention of the Board of Directors.
Fortunately, the past two winters
have been mild and the school thus
not been much interfered with, but had
it been otherwise, there would have
been much lost time. The heating by
steam will besides be a matter of econ.
Omy. Some thirty six tons of coal have
been needed for the winter with the
present heaters and their imperfect
work: The excess of coal alone for the
heaters over that needed to generate
sufficient steam, would pay, it is said
the interest on the investment on ap-
paratus for steam heating. In fact, it
is stated the annual cost of new CRATES
and other incidentals for the heaters
would nearly do this. The cellar heat
ers in addition to being unsatisfactory
have seen their best days, and the mat.
ter before the Directors Gre long will
be of necessity the consideration Ol
what shall take their place.
N. B.-Since the above was put in
type the new board has had meeting
and organized by re-electing John II
HOhecker, president, and E. NJ
Fowler, secretary. The board also
took into consideration the question ol
a proper substitute for the old heaters
and appointed committee consisting
of John H. HOffecker, w. A. FAIRIES
and E. NJ. Fowler, to get estimates
for steam and hot water apparatus fol
heating the building and report at a
subsequent meeting.

A Pleasant Social Evening

Col. Geo. II. Raymond and Mrs. Ray
mond gave a party to their personal
friends on Thursday evening last that
was especially successful in the object
intended, and highly enjoyed hy all
the participants. The only occasion
OF regret was that the heavy rain storm
kept sOme who were indispOsed away
who had expected to be there and who
doubtless would have enjoyed the oc.
casiOn as heartily as did those who
were present.
1t was half past nine when Mr., and
Mrs. Raymond had done receiving"
the guests, who in the meantime had
scattered themselves over the attrac.
tive apartme4ts-some ip the sitting
room, others IN the library engaged in
conversation or games as suited their
choice, while others were in the parlor
engaged in q sQpjal dance to the strains
OF orchestral music, the carpet of which
had been removed for this purpose.
The social freedom and ease was a not
iceable feature Of the evening, the
guests naturally falling in with the
colonel and Mrs. Raymond's character
istic heartiness of personal intercourse.
Shortly after eleven o'clock refresh
ments were served from a richly lad
ened table in the dining rOOm-ambro.
STA, fruits, jellies. cakes and bricks of
ice cream. This Wgs followed by a
novelty that created no little excite
ment among the guests a waiter bear

larged, and containing several small
pieces of candy was passed around for
each guest to take one. One of these
contained prige, The point of inter.
est at this 1unoture was, who had been

their usual alertness, were the quickest
on the search but they were all doomed

were made for a speech but he excused
himself with the plea of being h0arse
from a cold. The older persons mainly

HIGH Springs.

The complaint about water finding
its way into cellars still continues. At
Clayton last week an engine had to be
procured to pump the water out
of the railroad office cellar to pre-
vent the fires in the furnace from being
extinguished Several other cellars in
the place were in the same condition,
and the new Episcopal Chapel which
is to be dedicated on the 10th, it is said
has three or four feet of water in the
furnace cellar. Mr.. Lower, residing
near Brenford, whose dwelling is heated
from the cellar has had to have it
bailed out both day and night or have
his heater oVerAOwn. Old men eighty
and ninety years old say they remem-
Der no time in their lives when there
was so much water on the surface and
the springs so high. We are not alone
in this particular, but wide extent OF
country is affected In Salem, N. ].

THE NEW SCHOOL BILL.

The School bill contest Is on. The
Senate passed the Ross bill Thursday.
the House passed the Cooper bill We'd
nesday. The bills are very much
alike, except that the Ross bill pro.
vldes for state superintendent, an
official whom the House regards as
neither useful or ornamental. The
committees from both Houses made an
effort to get together on these bills.
There will now be the appointment of
cOnferees, and most likely a coales-
cence of the bills in the end-minus
the state uperintendent. The House
bill raises the cOlored school spproDri.
alton to $4,000; the Senate bill to
$4,000. The House bill provides that
the state treasurer shall purchase the
books from the publishers, the Senate
bill does not prescribe from whom he
shall purchase. The House bill sub
stitutes the governor instead of DR..
Raub, as president of the State Board
of Education. This was done because
DR.. Rauh is himself the author and
publisher of series of textbooks
although it has been argued with some
force that a competent man should not
be displaced because he happens to be
their author.

THE heavy storms that have swept
across the country from the Rockies to
the St. Lawrance for some weeks past,
has had a general depressing effect
upon the business of the country. Dun
& Co., Weekly Review of Trade says :
The actual condition of business
does not improve, however hopeful the
anticipatiOns warranted. Unfavorable
weather has prevailed over a wide
area, affecting local trade and making
country roads still more difficult.
Labor troubles are becoming an impOr-
tant factor, strikes having begun at
many localities in the building trades,
and the great coke strike having re-
suited in riots and the calling cut of
troops.
Thus the interests of property in
many forms are for the time affected,
and meanwhile the usual demand for
money in April settlements has made
markets rather,clOser, though speedy
relaxation is expected.

The syndicate business which has
tried its hand at most everything, has
got down to the minimum in Della
ware where it cOntemplates laying
hold of the printing business. A bill
was introduced in the Legislature en-
titled IAN act to Incorporate the Del
aware Printing Company"
The following explanation has been
given to a reporter of the Morning
NeaOs by one who processes to know.
The incorporators named in that
bill propose to establish a well equip
ped Office at Dover where "outsides"
will be printed and editorial matter
prepared for several weekly papers to
be published at various points on the
Peninsula. These subordinate Offices
will be located at convenient points to
operate most effectively against such
existing papers as are Objectionable to
the ring. The circulation will be for
ced by the members of the county
committees. In other words it is a
scheme to syndicate the newspaper
business of Delaware for Democratic
uses, taking in any advantageous loca-
ton in Maryland that will give fuan-
cial support. Its success will sadly
cripple legitimate newspaper publica-
tion in Delaware and effectually Danish
small capitalists to whom the syndicate
may object.
The monetary support (sO the ineOr-
poratOrs expeet) will be largely de-
rived from the state treasury, as thew
propose to control all of the state
printing, by the number of bids made
BY their primary branches. That will
enable them to get at any particular
item of work.
Another Dover correspondent makes
the following statement on the author
ity Of a member Of the corporation:
A Democratic daily l.t-paper will
be started at Dover. 1t will secure
the Associated Press and United fran
chises, and be conducted on the line,
OF first class metropolitan newspa,.. {
