Cement Blocks to, BE Used as Well as
Gsanoiithic.
In the laying OF sidewalks under the permit
system it has heretofore been the custom TO ad-
yertise and make contracts with the man ufac-
turers of any pavement where the speciii-
cations and price were adhered to. The
specifications, however, were SO worded as to
keep out large number of bidders who were
able to furnish pavement equally good as
that furnished under the specifications. One
of thoso bidders was Mr. George Richard
son, the manufacturer o. carbonized
cement block used for sidewalks Recently
Capt. Rossell and Commissioner Ross via I'd
the works OF Mr.. Richardson, and were so
pleased with the result of their Investigations
that Capt. Rossell has recommended thai adj
vertisement be issued for cement block pave
ments. the cement block to be the carbonizsd
block now made in this city,
In this connection he also recommends that
no more orders for granolithic pavements be
given the present contractors until new con-
tracts are made for granolithic pavements, and
in case 1t Is desired by parties TO have these
granolithic pavements laid before contracts are
made, that special contracts be made for the
pavemcnts desired.
The subject was considered ct the board
meeting today.

He was tall. awkward and hesitating. black az

like unto copper in color, and a smile of
assured happiness played around her lips.
From Georgetown came she. from .'oie
Fa'rfox, sab, came he. Neither were

fully blessed them. II was their wedding dav.
No tiower-perfumed holy edifice opened before
them, no brilliantly bedecked gathering
awaited their coming, no joyous strains
of soft sweet music heralded their ap-
proach. Instead. careless. joking crowd
about them. sounds alone of idle jest. and only
the cold bare walls of tine gloomy old city hall
to hold them. Yet, though they were ignorant.
though they had never tasted OF the pleasures
OF abundance, and though OF the lowly and hum
blest of God screatures. that old old story which
ever seemeth new was heard again and again.
Their childlike simplicity, their faith in them
selves and in ali mankind, touched all hearts
round about them. and as they left
license in hand, 20 seek a minister of
Cod-.'no matter de church he blonge ter

one man of the curious crowd attracted but
that inwardly asked that peace. prosperity
and happiness might attend the old fellow and
his bride forever.

age yet made by the vessel. There were hun
dreds seasick and at times not few were
frightened.

prevent panic, and too much praise cannot
be given for the management of the craft.

Work lie Has Performed.

Report of Superintendent Dorchester Of the
Work He Has Performed
The superintendent of Indian schools. Or.
Dorchester. in his report TO the commissioner
OF Indian affairs for the pas; year, states
that during the past year he has spent all
the time. except about fifty days.
IN the field inspecting schools, examining the
question OF treating new schools aud doing
other work that has been assigned to him.
He has made les visits in Indian schools
located within thirty-four different agencies
and on seventy reservations and has Travelled
5O,6Ol miles, of which 4,549 have been in
wagons.
He states that his confidence in the capacity
OF the red man for education has not been
abated, but rather increased and strength
ened. During the year six large Indian train
places: Santa Fe, y. Nj; Pierre. South Dakota
Fort Totten. North Dakota: Carson City. New. /.
Fort Mojave. Arizona, and Phoenix. Arizona.
In the opinion of DIR. Dorchester what
ever else is taught, or not taught. in
dustrial training should have the fore
most llace. for il is the foundation OF what
the government desires to DO for ~ rcd man
He recommends that larger facilities be ex-
tended to this feature. He notes that
while an improvement has taken place
IN the government. the same cannot
be said OF the contract schools winch
are conducted by different religious bodies.
In giving an estimate of the progress of Chris
TANNING the Indians in the Dakotas. DIR. Dor
chester states from the church authorities he
leans that tie Roman Catholic Indian popu-
lation in these two states is 4.74O. while
there are from 10. $50 to 1900 Indian adhe-
rents OF the Protestant Episcopal, the Presby-
terian and the Congregational churches.
