THE CITY'S SCHOOLS.
Board Reorganizes for the New
Business Year.
NEW HIGH SCHOOL QUESTION.
Proposal to Buy Part Of University
Grounds-Month1y Reports-HaIf-
Holidays as Rewards.

A fun meeting of the school board was held
last night at the Office of the superintendent,
and much important business was transacted.
The board was reorganized, officers being elected
and new committees appointed. Monthly re-
ports were received IL was decided to proceed
at once to properly heat the High school A
large number OF warrants were ordered drawn.
A. T. Burwell, the newly-elected member, met
with the board for the first time, and took deep
interest in ths business that came up for con-
sderation. The High school site question was
discussed at length, but the only action taken
was the reference of the question to the grounds
ana building committee with instructions to
bring in an carly report
The following committees were announced by
President Colkett: Auditing-Burwell, Spen-
Ger. Prosch: ACKNOWLEDGMENT spencer,
Prosch: grounds and buildings-Colkett, Mac
Dougsll, Burwell; acknowledgement, Burwell
Colkett; purchasing-Prosch, MaeDougall, Col
kett
The meeting was opened by the election of A.
p. Burwell as temporary chairman. The board
then organized by the election of Mr.. Coikett as
president; J. B. MacDougall as vice president
aud III. F. Whitney secretary. The officers
elected rendered their thanks and the board
without delay got down to work
The secretary was instructed, under the direc-
ton OF the purchasing committee, to procure
bids for the supply OF electric clocks for the
various schools OF the city.
communication was received from Joseph
II. Carter, present janitor of the Fremont and
Latona schools, asking that he be retained in
that position. Several applications for the posi-
ton were placed on file
The secretary was instructed to draw warrants
for $500, interest on bonds; $780, interest on
Comstoek lot, and $3.50, payment ON Day school
at Fremont. He was instructed TO purchase
wire mats for the Fremont school,
Attention was called to the bad condition of
the paint on the root of this south school.
The secretary called attention TO the neces-
sity OF some system by which tuition fees could
be collected. This called forth the following
resolution from Mr.. Spencer:
That the superintendent instruct the prinei-
pals that no pupil who lives outside the district
shall be received into tho public school unless
the tuition Zee for ono month shall have been
paid in advance, the money 20 be paid either to
the principal or the secretary OF the board.
In presenting his monthly report superinten-
dent Barnard took occasion TO impress upon the
board the danger there was in crowding too
many pupils in room. The result was that the
superintendent was Instructed in the case OF the
Latona school, to add another teacher, if neees-
sary, and 10 add the eighth grade to the duties
of Mr.. Beachsm-
Superintendent Barnard presented the follow
ing report of the school attendance from the be-
ginning OF the year, September 8, to November

BIG SALMON TRUST.
The Alaska Packers Have Formed q
Strong Combination.

The Alaska Packers Have Formed q
Strong Combination.
Mr. F. Cutting, of Oakland, head of the big
packing house OF Cutting & Co., San Francisco,
arrived at the Northern hotel yesterday on his
way East.
Mr. Cutting was the first to go into the pack
ing business there, and he began to can fruit as
soon as there was any. in California to be can
ned and shipped. His firm not only controls a
large fruit trade, but has three salmon canneres
in Alaska and one on the Columbia river. Mr..
Cutting said last night:
"The packing of Alaska salmon has been very
much overdene, and the market il completely
glutted. Indeed, the supply is SO much greater
than the demand that the Gamers would have
lost considerable in their competition for sales
had they not combined and put all their pro-
ducts in the hands of trustees. The chief adj
vantage OF this union, however, will be to bring
the member to a realizing sense of the amount
OF canned salmon which the market can stand !;
and thus the present condition of affairs may be
avoided in the future.
"There is seldom an over-supply of the Column
bia salmon. In the first place the fish are
growing scarcer year by year and the fisher
mems union fixes the price for catching a, such
figure that the cost of putting dozen cans on
the market is ST. IS, while Alaska salmon is SELL
ing at 81 dozen. The Columbia salmon are of
finer quality and the people who buy them can
afford to pay the higher price and are willing to
pay it.
'The California fruit packers are also finding
dull demand for their goods. In 1890 the fruit
crops OF the East were short In Baltimore,
for instance, the great center for peaches,
there were practically no peaches. The result
was the California fruit found a ready market
at good prices. This year men who were en-
couraged by their former success canned lar &c
quantities of all sorts of fruits, which, by the
way, were abundant and very cheap. But the
East had good crops, and the opening for the
California product was cut off,"

OF the Victoria police, and from that place was
sent to New Whatcom, where the burglary was

THE GREAT PASSION PLAY.
Rev. ID. G. CARROTS Interesting LectuT
In the Methodist Church Course.

Rev. ID. @. CARROTS interesting Lecture
in the Methodist Church Course.
Last night the fourth lecture in the course for
the Madison Street Methodist Episcopal church
speaker was Rev. D. C. Garrett, rector OF St
Marks, who took as his subject "The Passion
Play of Ober- Ammergau." The lecture, like all
OF Mr.. CARROTS addresses, was very interesting
and was listened to with closest attention from
beginning to end.
In his introduction the lecturer said that
much had been written and spoken about the
passion Play" and the theme was not new.
yet an account OF his personal experience at
Ober- Ammergau might have the interest which
the tale of an eye witness possesses His visit
to the little Baverian village was made
in 1880, when the play was more
spiendidly produced than ever before,
and perhaps ever since Mr.. Garrett
gave lively and entertaining description OF
his journey over the mountains to the place
whittier thousands of pilgrims were then flock
ing-"a village of faith and love, OF purity and
peace His room was ut the house Of Totias
Flunger, who took the character OF Christus in
1880, and by his wonderful acting first brought
the play into wide notice. Twenty years later
Flunger's eldest daughter took the part of the
Virgin Mary.
Mr.. Garrett also had the good fortune to visit
Joseph Mailer, the greatest who has ever
devoted himself to the character he portrayed
aud so religiousy had he studied the Christ
that, as his neighbors testified, he had car
red the assimilation into his daily life, and his
face seemed to let out the divine light he had
cultivated in his heart"
The play, which is really religious cere-
mony, begins sunday morning and the people
go to it as reverently as to church. The lee
turers vivid description of the various scenes
closed as follows:
The chorus again enters and sings joyous
hymn OF praise.
"Hallelujah, now victorious
Over all his vanquished foes;
Christ, the hero great and glorious,
Christ, who bore the peoples woes"
During the singing OF this hymn the cur
tain rises for the last time, dis
closing the most beautiful, the most
glorious scene Of all, Christ in Glory. As
the chorus walks silently from the stage and
the last sweet strains OF music die away the
wat audience which for 80 many hours had
been held Ill silent awe, new fingers Tor a mo-
ment as though unwilling to leave the almost
entity from the great theatsr, out into the driz-
cling rain and up the narrow, muddy streets of

know that there exists in the minds OF many
q strong prejudice against this passion Play. y
But could they come to the good little village
over the Ammer. could they see the play aud
weep as they must Weep over the scenes from
the Sayior's live, am sure that their prejudice
would vanish, and that they would feel that
thsr lives were made better and holier, and
that they knew Chrst-Hs lie and His suffer
ings as they never knew Him before.
