SCHOOLS NOT ALL READY.
Repairs Needed in Some
Cases We're Too Extern
siVe for the Time.
COMMISSIONER MADDEN'S STATEMENT.
Teachers Who Close the Vacation
by Handing in Their
Resignation.

The failure to entirely complete the re-
pairs which nearly all the public school
buildings have been undergoing during
the vacation will prevent the reopening
of a few of them next Monday.
AT last nights meeting of the Board of
Education each director gave a verbal re-
port of the progress OF the repairs in the
schools under his charge.
DIR. Shain reported that the High
School would be ready next Monday. but
That he was Informed by the jauitor of
No. 2 School that the repairs could not be
completed by that time. A further dis
cGssion elected the fact that this would
only apply totwo or three class rooms.
The school will be open. Perhaps $50 of
the 400 pupils will have to wait Il few
days. Nos. l, 8 and 8 Annex will be
ready on time,
Director Moran reported No. 81 as all
right, he was not sure about Nos. 6 and
IL. b~utthought they would ali he ready
Oh time. PIT
Mr.. Garrison said Nos. 4 and 10 would
lie ready. No. IL, which is undergoing
more extensive repairs III any OF the
others could not be put in proper condi-
ton by Monday. President Reid con-
graduated Mr. Garrison on his rood work
at No. 16. The school will lot open until
MONDAY week.
THE NEW MEMBER
DR.. A. Allen, who was recently an
pointed director in place of MIR. John
Mehl, was not called upon for a full re-
port, but he Informed the Board that I'M
less SOM detecti in the plumbing of No. z
is repaired the school cannO be open on
time.
Mr.. Jones reported No. 20, No. II
Annex aud No. u as ready, but No. IL he
said could not be opened until Monday
week.
Mr.. Muldoon reported Nos. 10, 20 and
% in proper shape, mud all three ready
for the reception OF pupils next Monday.
In speaking of the failure to open Nos.
IL and 16 on time. President Reid de-
clared it was no fault OF the Board of
Education. Commissioner Madden,
Chairman of the committee Ia
charge of the repairs, says
the amount. SIS. 600, appropriated
for the repairs is not half sufficient to put

SOCIETY IN WESTERN TOWNS.

No Standing for the Married Man Except
by His WIfe's Side.
There is a social equality in Western
country towns that prevails nowhere else,
and the daughters of the blacksmith are
quite as prominent as the daughters of
the banker, providing they behave as
well. which they are likely to do. as they
all grow up together and are educated III
the same school, The only social test in
the West is good conduct. Ionce lived in
atown where 1t was always said, after a
big party, that the line was drawn only
at color.
The Western married man has no
standing in society except by his wife's
side. The men who run the towns are
seldom seen at the parties, which are
managed by their unmarried clerks. In
the old courtly days a man and his wife
had a social individuality; bu5 when a
man attends a social gathering in the
west, he is expected to seat himself be-
side his wife and behave as we'll as he
can, to the end that people may under
stand that he is not only fond of the
worthy woman at home. but in
company as, we'll. II a married man
should attend a Western social affair
without his wife. he would he very apt to
De approached by a married woman, who
would ask him in an audible whisper.
Where is your wifef" and there would
be a certain something in the womau's
tone indicating that he ought to be
ashamed or himself for being there under
such circumstances. I once knew q CAV
young husband to exhibit a paper. signed
by his wife, TO the effect tina he was at
the party alone with her knowledge and
consent.
The men who have made the West and
who are interesting have no social side in
the slrictest sense. Western society ia
made up of young people, who are always
more or less uninteresting except from
the standpoint of good looks. A middle
aged man who attends a social affair
in the West is looked upon as an
oddly. so firmly rooted Is the i'm
preston that as soon as a man marries
he ought to retire from everything ex.
cept business. Very few Western men
possess any of the social graces, although
are noted for shrewdness iD bust
pess and politics. Our idea or society is |
it is an institution for bringing |
about marriages; after the marriages
take place the contracting PARTIES ara ex.

ALL IN A LUMP.

A Fortune of Gold and the Precautions
Required.
Frontier highwaymen would have had
a hard time wrestling with a bit of gold
which arrived here by Wells, Fargo &
Co.'s express a few DAYS ago. 1t came
from the celebrated Harqua Hala mine,
and was consigned to j. Hubbard aud j..
B. Bowers, the owners. for coma ge at the
United States Mint.
When the employees at the mint took a
look at 1t they were astonished. The rea-
son vas that 1t was the biggest lump of
gold that they had had the %unhappiness
10 come IN contact with, seeing that it
was in Que respect ike many Others, be-
ing not their own.
1t was of a somewhat conical shape,
and seemed to have been emDtIed out OF
Il gigantic Stag pot. 1t did not belle it's
looks, for that was the way it had been
shaped. 1t was the product of forty-iye
days run at the Harqua Halla. and the
tremendous bulk weighed 357 Is pounds
Rvoirdupois. and was stated to be of the
value of $120, 0G0.
The thoughtful representatives of the
owners of the big nugget ttlegraphed
from point to point as they progressed
with it from the mine. sixty miles south
west of Phoenix, and announced when it
should arrive at the next station. This
was in order to forestall any ambitious
men with guns; for though aspiring
hlghwaymen were thus kept exactly
posted as TO when the gold might be ex-
pected, 1t also posted the people in each
town.
The nugget was too big for any party of
bandits to carry it off intact and secrete,
and had they stopped the caravan on the
way to the railroad, they would have only
had time to chisel off 81, 900 or so till the
pack of bloodhounds which the prison
officials at Phoenix keep, would nave been
on their trail. Nobody molested it, how
and 1T reached here safely. Tue
yellow cont has attracted
much attention.-San Francisco EGam-

Beacon and Bells In Rural England.

There are a number of ancient requests
for ringing bells and lighting beacons to
guide travellers by night. These were
very useful charities. tor in the days of
old, lands were gener ally uninclosed. and
The roads poorly constructed. 1t was
difficult for the wayfarer to find his way
when the night was dark.
At the ancient Village of Hessle, nelr
Hall. a bell is rung every night except
Sunday at z O'Clock. Long. long ago, so
runs the story, n lady was lost on a dark
night near the place. and was in sore
distress, fearing that she would nave to
wander about in the cold till daylight.
Happily the ringing of the Hessle bells
enabled her to direct her course to the
village In safety, although she had to
wend her weary steps over a trackless
country.
In gratitude for her delivery she left a
piece OF LANG to the parish clerk, on con-
dition that he ring every evening one of
the church bells.
