ACCORDING to our New York special, the
outlook for the settlement of the State debt
is very satisfactory. From cable dispatches
received in New York by the Advisory Board,
the bondholders are willing, upon a surrender
of old bonds, TO agree to a series Of new bonds,
hearing such a rate Of interest as the State
can afford TO pay without increasing the obi
cations she at present recognizes to be just.
In that event nothing will be left but for
the Legislature to approve the plan, and
if by so doing it can fully restore Yirginia's
credit without adding to her present rate of
taxation. it is hardly possible that it can re-
fuse to acquiesce in the proposed settlement.
1t will be a great day for the old State when
the heavy burden under which she has labored
for so many years shall be lifted.

In Favor of Tariff Reform.
lFredericksburg Star.l

THE RICHMOND TINES recently ascertained
from a canvass Of leading Democrats of the
State that fearless Grover Cleveland was Viz
ginia's choice for President in 1892. Now TIE
TINES has been hustling around among the
Democratic farmers Of the State to find out
which. in their opinion. is the more impor-
tant issue in the next Presidential contest
free coinage of silver OF tariff reform. The
result of this canvass is largely in favor Of
tariff reform. With the awful record of the
Republican party to present 10 the intelligent
voters, Cleveland and tariff reform ought to
sweep the country.

Surreptitious Signs.

essay on the manner how to introduce trade and
capture customers through the aid of other
competitors advertisements and signs. This
humorous idea is said to have been used sue

arguments upon this ridiculous newborn
scheme of advertising, as the public at large is

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
The Proceedings at the Meeting Last
Night.


The board of education held its regu-
lar meeting last night, in its rooms in
the city hall. The roll call was re-
sponded to by six members.
The teachers committee reported in
favor of appointing teacher for night
school to be conducted at the Newsboys'
home, on First street, if such teacher
could be obtained at reasonable price.
Mr.. Forester, who was present,
stated that teacher could be appointed
for $25 per month, to teach five nights
week.
Mr.. Davis moved that teacher be
appointed at cost not to exceed $50
per month. The motion passed unani-
mously.
Miss Dora G. Vickrey rendered her
resignation, which was accepted with
regret.
Superintendent Friesner reported the
attendance on the city schools for the
past month of 369S boys and 376S girls.
The trustees of the State University
applied for the use of suitable room in
the city school in which to hold June
examinations. They were granted such
room as Superintendent Friesner
should decide upon as best suited to the
purpose.
Mr.. Schnable appeared before the
board as a representative OF the Turn
Verein Germania, asking that the sys-
tenn of physical culture in use in the
Turn Verein be introduced in the public
schools, offering the services of the
Turn Verein's instructor for three
months free of charge. The matter was
referred to the committee on rules and
regulations.
The finance committee reported cash
on hand about $45 900, which, when
bills were paid, would leave balance of
$1,000 on hand for running expenses.
Bills to the amount of $502.72 were
read and ordered paid.
The insurance committee reported in
favor of allowing all the policies ex-
piring this month to lapse, which was
adopted.
Committee on rules gave notice of sew
eral proposed changes in the rules OF
the board of education.
The special committee appointed at
the previous meeting announced that
the council had granted the use of the
council chamber to the board on Mon
day evenings, provided the use of the
meeting room be granted the library.
The matter OF giving the use of the
room to the library was referred to the
building committee with power to act.
1On motion it was decided to pay the
census marshal and his deputies $5 each
per day for their services in taking the
school census. Mr.. Gaffey objected to
the amount, saying that there ought to
be plenty of competent men to be OBJ
tanned for deputies at $3.50 per day, and
competent marshal should not cost
more than $3.50 per day. The motion
passed on a vote OF 5 to 4.
Messrs. Boal and Marsh spoke asking
more school room for their respective
wards. The matter was referred to the
building committee.
committee OF three was appointed
to look after the high school commence
ment, consisting of Messrs. Barber, Boal
and Wilmer.

SUMMARY
The Spectral Fleet.

The legend of the spectral fishing feet
of ST. Mary's Bay is of modern or
igin. In 1862 fishing feet, homeward
bound from the Grand Banks, was driven
by stress of weather into st. Mary's Bay.
The storm increased in fury, and 100
boats went down on that August day in
the storm tossed waters. There are now
hundreds of fishermen ready to swear
that ever since. when they have sought
shelter in fog and storm in st. Mary S
Bay, they have caught glimpses of a
phantom fleet, heard the tapping Of the
sails and the shouting of the sailors when
no fleet was there. This may be ac-
counted for by the fog, which nearly al
ways hangs about the bay, for any one
who has sailed in fog knows that he
can see and hear almost anything he
pleases in it.-New York Tribune.

SHE MARRIED A MASHER.
The Quick Downfall of Pretty Lulu
McCord

Many readers OF the HERALD will re-
member the escapades of Miss Lulu Nc
Cord, about two years ago. She was
sent down from San Francisco to the
convent at Anaheim. Convent life did
not agree with the vivacious Lulu, so
one fine day she ran away from the
school to San Diego. There she took up
withth Tycoon opera company. She
created most decided sensation at San
Diego, and came to Los Angeles. Here
she achieved considerable notoriety.
She finally married worthless sort OF
fellow--a professional masher-named
Mathew Peel. He treated her most
brutally. On Saturday he was arrested
in San Francisco. His wife called down
to see him and she was also locked up
for vagrancy. Peel is Kearny-atreet
statue, and is responsible for the rapid
fall from grace of Lulu McCord, who,
several years since, was the idolized
daughter of one of the wealthiest men
in San Francisco.

MAJOR BELLS CASE.
1t is Said He Will Ask for Change
of Venue

Major Horace Bell appeared in Justice
Ovens court yesterday intending to
move for change of venue. The major,
it will be remembered, was arrested
Saturday night upon the complaint of
Lester Osborne of the Express local
staff, who charged him with battery.
Judge Owens was not on the bench yes
terday, SO that the major did not have
an opportunity to file the affidavit which
he had prepared in support his pro-
posed motion for a change of venue.
Not having been filed, the contents Of
the affidavit could not be ascertained in
full, but from one who had seen the
document, the HERALD reporter last
night ascertained that the principal
grounds offered are those of prejudice
and the undue influence of the daily
press. The motion, together with the
affidavit, will probably be offered in
court the first thing this morning.

The rapidity with which the German
emperor talks when delivering a speech
has been determined by DR.. Engel, who
is one of the chief reporters in the reichs-
tag, and who has stenographed the en-
peror's speeches very often. According
to the doctor he speaks very rapidly in
deed-abcut 275 syllables in each min
ute, and occasionally the rate at which
he talks is even 300 syllables in minute.

SECRET SESSIONS.
The Supervisors Said to Be Meeting
on the Quiet.

g
on the Quiet.
Supervisor Davis, in the Express of
last evening, gives long and not over
lucid statement regarding the charges
against the board of supervisors made
by the Taxpayers association. THERE'S
one thing among others that he has
not explained, and that is the necessity
of holding star chamber sessions.
The HERALD is informed, on what
ought to be excellent authority, that the
board held secret session on Wednes-
day, locked in County Auditor Howe's
back Office. What transpired there will
be matter possibly for future publica-
ton. Again on Friday the board is said
to have held a secret session with closed
doors in the boards own room.
