little blank book in which the names OF
members who signify to the Speaker
their intention to speak on any set topic
are inscribed shows a list of 80 members
OF the House who have remarks to make
on the tariff question. There are a num-
ber of other members who intend to
cpeak on the subject OF the tariff who
have not put their names down and the
list includes only two or three names OF
members OF the ways and means commit
tee, OF which committee all the members
except, perhaps, Chairman Springer, may
be expected to make speeches.

TROUBLE WITH PRIVATE SCHOOLS
Fall River Authorities Find Infringements
on the State Laws.

Fall River Authorities Find Infringements
on the state Laws.
FALL RIVER, Mass, March Estate
Inspector McGraw, Superintendent Con-
nell OF the public schools, and the MEM
bers of the local board of health, were
much surprised to learn of the existence
OF private schools held here by French
Canadians, contrary to the laws OF health
and of the state.
In kitchen on Everett street, owned
by Mrs. Voisine, al pupils are crowded
and seat themselves on boxes, benches
and common chairs. They have no desks.
In a room at No. 10 Seventh street, 63 pu-
pills are taught by Miss Hsmel. The stud
les are all conducted in the French Ian
guage.
The air space for each pupil varies from
80 to As cubic feet, while the laxs- require
space of $50 cubic feet or more. When
the members OF the board of health in
yestigated they found most un-
healthy condition of things existing
The air was foul beyond description, and
the environments Of the rooms were of
the poorest description. The ages of the
pupils present varied from five to thirteen
years.
'sThe institutions are in no way con-
nected with the large French Canadian
parochial schools, which are sanctioned
and commended by the school committee.
phe teachers make no attempt to teach
English and one OF them speaks English
very imperfectly.
The state inspector ordered changes
made on the exits and ENTRANCES, the
board of health ordered immediate
changes in the surroundings, and the
superintendent of schools has decided to
ask the teachers to comply with the laws
at once. There are two, and possibly
three other schools in the city similar to
those described above.

Rig Shoe shops in Pepperen Are Having
Labor Troublea


AVER, Mass, March 12.--At the shoe
shop OF Leighton Bros, in Pepperell, the
900 hands are involved In a labor trouble
that is likely to csnse ashut- down. Late
ly several girls in the shop joined the
union and requested Others to join. The
latter went to Frank Leighton, the man.
sger, and told him of the plan.
He at once notified the union girls that
they must bring in union price list be-
fore they could work. Leighton claims
that his prices are higher than the union
prices, and IL his help belong to the
union, they must accept union wages.
The employees claim that his prices are
lower altogether, but higher on some
grades.
The girls notified TO bring in the list
have not yet done so. The shop is claim
ed to be union, but the men have notified
Mr. Leighton that il the girls are not
taken back Saturday morning they will
oil 90 out.
Mr.. Leighton says that this will result
in a shutdown until some settlement IL
reached, since IN the union employees 60
out the Others will have no work, and he
docs not propose to fight the union.

Ruling I'm the Phelan Quo Wsrranto Case
at New Haven IL Reserved.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, March 12.-In the
quo warranto case yesterday, Judge Har-
rison in opening for Phelan, used as a
text part OF Michigan decision where
Il was held that 'It is is the policy OF
courts, not TO obstruct, but to aid the one
who has received the popular vote for an
elective Office in securing that Office"
Opposing cousel, he said, were endeavor-
ing to have the court obstruct the will OF
the people in keeping MIR. Phelan out OF an
Office TO which he had been elected. Mr..
Phelan has legal right, right TO the
Office OF state secretary, 10 which he was
duly elected by the people, and he Is de-
prived OF that office by flagrant wrong,
an injustice o himself and TO the votes
that elected him. Arguments were also
made by Attorney Case Tor MIR. wal IA,
and Judge Stoddard for Mr. Phelan.
Judge Hall reserved his decision and ad-
journed court until Tuesday morning.

Cleveland was interviewed yesterday at
Spesutia Island, Md, where he had come
to shoot ducks. He expressed the opinion
that tariff reform must be the issue il the
Democratic party is to go into the win

that general bill would be the best
method OF attacking the tariff in Con
gress, but / am willing to defer to those
who are on the ground. / hope the
Springer free wool bill will pass and am
also in favor OF any other measure which
will tighten the burden OF taxation. II
the Democratic party is true to its princi-
pies and fulfills its pledges to the people
it cannot fail.

little brute. Darling DaEodl." she
called hiIa, get lost. lie was found aud
taken care Of by family who pat him
into the dog show. The girl who loved
HIM 50 much recognized him. don't
know whether be had peculiar way Of
dropping his blessed little tail or whether
10 had a peculiar note IN his sweet little
bark. At any rate she knew darling
Daify, aad then there was a scene which
was adjourned 10 court In court the
family who had taken care Of the
least two months offered 70 give
him up IL she whose lost love he was
would pay fifty dollars for his
keep. She refused 10 do this, although
she had paid hundred dollars for him
when he was only in the stage Of pup
hood, and she loved him 50 besides.
Pending decision darling Daily was car
ned away by an unfeeling lawyer. Then
the lady who wouldn't pay fifty dollars
for his board raised the neighborhood
with her sobs and lamentations A
stranger would have thought that moth
ing less than her own baby had been
suthlossly torn from her arms. All this
when there are thousands of starving,
homeless real babies that would grow to
be- noble, intelligent human beings il
only somebody would have mercy on
them and give them chance for life.
No wonder there are people who incline
to think women are little better than
idiots
A story Is told Of teacher In girls
school who used to cut the naughty
things out Of the newspaper each day
and then let her pupils read it. She
soon quit the clipping, however, very
wisely concluding that ''the evil men do
should be known to their fellow men for
the protection Of the individual" Quite
right. Girls would not go wrong as
often as they do if they knew Of the
snares that lie in wait for ignorance and
inexperience.
The Pro Re Nata society, of Washing
ton considered recently the so called
"woman's column" of the average news
paper and unanimously condemned it as
"silly stuff" but thought there must DO
a demand for such gush and nonsense
or it would not be furnished. They
thought that the prevalent ignorance Of
women about wider and nobler topics
was responsible for the present woman's
column Of the newspaper.
Canada is step in advance Of the
United States in one respect at least.
All the Canadian universities are open
To women.
The Chautauqua circle Of Chester, Pa,
is made up almost entirely of women,
but they do not mean to be ignorant Of
the question which will form the lead
ing issue in tho next presidential cam
paign. They have been studying tho
tariff and have had addresses delivered
to them by experts on both siies, 30 as
to be able to make up their own minds.
This is good deal better than studying
the ruined castles of Europe.

Last Sunday O'Mailey started out to
lake the life OF brindle looking cat
which had been sneaking about the
kitchen for a month or more. He hadn't
got through with his job last night.
First he shot at the beast and blew away
D portion Of its head. The cat turned a
pmsrsault, yelped once or twice and
disappeared. The next day O'Malley
lound the cat on the roof OF the dog
house. This time the switchInan stole

When morning came O'Malley found

lying near the woodshed. The keen
blade Of the AK had divorced it from the
Aedy. But the cat would not die. Al
