Special to The SUNDAY CALL.

PARIS, Jan. 4, 1S91.-News reaches us to-
day .hat Marie !, King Of the Sedangs, alias
NJ. Mayrena, Partisan by birth and exotic
monarch by profession, is dead. For the
benefit of the financial group that furnished
the civil list of this extraordinary sovereign,
hope the report will be contfadicted.
Two years ago met Marie l in Paris and

made shift to lose and spend the riches they

LolonOis' second expedition comprised six

there to plunder as many tTns and villages

1he adjacent places, consequently, were the
first to suffer the fury Ofthe pirates. Puerto
Cavallo with the Spaniih sturehouses there
was easily cap ured ami burned. Then the
town of San Pedro, ten OF twelve leagues
distant, was taken afer gallant defense
by the SpanardS. Great crueltes were
prarticed upon his prisoners by Lolonois at
this time. In his .ttack upon San Pedro
the pirate was conf Onted by three am bus
cadeS in succession. After the first of these
he enieavored to eStort from his prisoners
the locality OF the Ghers. They either knew
OF no way TO ayOiCthem or would tell him of

The financial condition of the schools was
the question seriously discussed by the FL
nance Committee OF the Board of Education at
its last meeting and it proved very knotty
problem. The former board left nice little
deficit of S16,5S4 for its successors to cope
with and in addition it had been necessary
to overdraw several other funds.
On January 1st last the Salaries and Rents
Fund was overdrawn S6545 II, the Fur
niture and Supplies Fund S10.G65 q, the
School Painting Fund 1923 ard the School
Houses and Sites Fund 1884 So. Between
January 1st and 9th, the date when the pres
ent board went into office. the retired board
had expended S1562 81, making the total
deficit stated.
Chairman Harvey suggested as a means
of curtailing expenses that some of the lower
classes be consolidated or else the cutting
down of teachers salaries.
Director Hyde showed that at the present
rate OF running the department there would
be shortage of $4,000 at the end of the
fiscal year and he proposed that the teach
ers donate 40 per cent of their salaries for a
month, which would give $4,000 more to
act upon.
Director Sabin opposed such a measure,
thinking 1t would be undignltied. The fol-
loving report was finally agreed upon and

meeting:

the Classification Committee, found the following

the Salary Fund was Overdrawn S6545 II. and

pose he knew the Island of Tortuga would
afford him many resolute and courageous
men fit for such enterprises; besides, he had
in his service several prisoners well ac-
quainted with the ways and places designed
upon" In this bold and comprehensive
scheme Lolonois was completely successful.
Many rich prizes were seized and the town
captured, sacked and ransacked. The plum
der amounted in ready morey. to 100000
pieces of eight. This being divided, every
man in the fleet received as his share, either
in money or its value, above 100 pieces of
eight. 1.-The whole dividend being finished"
says the historian, they set sail for Tortuga;
here they arrived month after, to the great
joy of most of the island; for as to the COM
mon pirates, in three weeks they had scarce
any money left, having spent it all in things
of little value or lost it at play. Here had
arrived not long before them two French
ships with wine and brandy and such like
commodities, whereby these liquors at the
arrival of the pirates were indifferent cheap.
But this lasted not long, for soon after they
were enhanced extremely, n gallon of brandy
being sold fcr four pieces of eight. The
Governor of the island bought of the pirates
the whole cargo Of the ship laden with cocoa,
giving for that rich commodity scarce the

all their designs and attempts and serving

and his vessel was lost in a storm on
the coast of Campecby. In the mean
time, however, his cruelties against
the Spaniards had been such and were so
Tell-known that although all on board were
saved from the wreck they were pursued on
shore and killed without mercy. Lol,nois
was badly wounded, but smearing himself
with blood mixed with sand, he was passed
as one Of the dead. When his wounds were

600 short at the end OF the fiscal year, June 80,
1891. The allowance To the Furniture and Sup

only way 10 meet the difficulty is 10 carry on the
