A large and enthusiastic audience
greeted Clarence Bennett and his ex-
cellent company upon their first APP
pearance at the City Opera House
here last night. The playwas "Monte
Cristo,'' and it was last night in the
hands of the best all-roupd company
that has ever been seen here. The
scenery and costuming were far above
the average, both in excellence and
accuracy, and the play was given
with a great deal of power. Mr.. Ben
nett is finished actor, an artist of
pleasing personal appearance I; flexible
voice, and acts with feeling; express
sion and a faithful regard to the har-
monies of dramatic action. Miss Lii
lian Mortimer, Miss Eva Williams and
the entire cast left nothing to be de-
sired. The performance last night
gave great promiseTfor the balance of

sure of dramatic treat backed by
magnificent special scenery each

lar monthly session last evening, bare

great deal Of business on the table, and
the session was short one.
After the reading of the minutes,
Mr.. Bloch reported that Miss Champ,
one OF the teachers In B grade, Lincoln
school, had got married, and he sug-
gested the advisability Of selecting an
other teacher. He nominated Miss
Mary L. Jennings, and she was con-
firmed by the Board.

LIBRARIANS REPORT.

LIBRARIANS REPORT.
The report of A. B. Wilson, librarian,
for the month Of July, showed total Of
4,276 books called for, an average OF 1G4
per day. The circulation in the reading
room was 600. The amount received
from fines, etc, was Sl3.
The Examining Committee recon-
mended that the certificates of all teach
ers and substitutes be renewed for one
year, and secondly, that after the close
of the present school year all teachers
and substitutes, except those coming
under Art. 10 OF the General Rules,
shall be examined in arithmetic and
spelling.
The recommendations were adopted.
A communication was received from
the Board of Directors OF the State
Fair, asking theBoard to set apartFriday
of Fair week, September 18th, as school
day, and announcing that rate OF
twenty cents for admission had been
fixed.
Mr.. Bloch spoke in favor of granting
the request, while DR.. Pips said he had
never seen any benefit aceruing from it.
DR.. Campbell was in favor Of the mo-
ton, and thought visit to the Fair
would be both interesting and instruc-
tive.
Col. Miller said he had favored the
the thing heretofore, and he thought
the first two years there had been ben
lift. Then, the big day was made the
school day, but of late years there had
not been the same benefit. All that was
beneficial was in the main building, and
he said he could take child to one of
several stores on Main street and show
them a better variety Of exhibits, and
he could go to any agricultural store
and show as much In that line as there
was at the Fair. The horse racing was
all that was left, and that was not a
beneficial feature. He knew of no
other city were the schools were
dismissed to 60 TO a Fair.
The Fair had asked charity of
the people Of Wheeling so often
that he, for one, was getting ashamed
of it. II the people of Wheeling could
not support the institution, he thought
1t was sign that the people did not
want it. He saw no reason why 5000
pupils should be dismissed from school
to accommodate few who wanted to go
to the Fair. He thought any parent
who desired to take his children to the
Fair should do so. but the schools should
go on.
Mr.. Schultze thought there should be
a provise to the effect that il 1t was a
vet day, school should 20 on.
Mr.. Ebeling thought the Board should
be allowed to select It's own day, and
not arbitrarily give them Friday. That
was not right.
Col. Miller suggested thst the Super
intendsnt should be given the power to

grant a half-holiday some time during
Fair week-except Friday-he 10 use
his discretion. after seeing tue fali
management. This was made as mo-
tion.
Mr.. Schultze was in favor OF who're
day. but he was not in favor OF friday
He favored all day Wednesday.
Col. Miller's suggestion was adopteu.
Mr.. Bloch asked for the confirmation
of four substitutes in Madison district
but was told the rules limited the mum
her tn two. He then postponed the
matter until the next meeting. a.
The Commissioners from union as
trlct asked the confirmation OF the loi-
lowing teachers: Principal, j. M: Ham

would suggest the following
sit shall be the duty of the principal
of each school to have all the primary
teachers meet him In grade meeting OF
at least one hours duration, once each
month, during the school year. He may
combine the teachers of the A and 3
divisions in the same meeting, and in
the same manner those Of the G and ID
divisions, but no meeting shall be held
at such time as to shorten the hours of
regular school work. 1t shall be
the duty of the Superinten dent
TO meet the teachers in these grade
meetings as often as his other duties
will permit, and the principals shall so
arrange the time for them that no two
schools shall hold them at the same
hour. The principals shall meet once

teachers once in two months, IS the Su

One sign of an unfavorable t:harac-

particularly where the low price of
cotton leads holders to defer selling

are very satisfactorily, the larger

upon Monroe as a point; on the con-

shorter and cheaper, lies to the west
of Monroe several miles. Che lire
would be diverted to enter Monroe,
and as it is IA competitive point the
town would not give theroad fret rht-
if they do not care to. have it; if,
however, they were stockholders, we
could expect, everything else being
equal, that their interest az stock
holders would give the road the bus

line between Lexington and Sails
