parlors.
Samuel and Zllpha Barber of Loveday
street. buried their little daughter last
week. The sudden sickness, called con-
gestion OF the liver. was pronounced fatal
from the first. George j. West has a
child afflicted in a like manner.
Some seventy-fve children connected
with the Woodville Bands of Hope and
Mercy gathered in the school house Sat
urday afternoon and recited their pieces.
The ladies served them all with sweets
and delicacies. There is a staunch fight
in that district against the liquor en-
croachments. but often to little purpose.
1t is strange how professediy good men
will lend themselves TO the service of
mammon and Generalization.

PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.

1Iiss Annie Eva Tsy's Spiritualistic Per-
formance Last Night.
Spirits were conjured from Spirit-land
by the Spirirualist Miss Annie Eva Fay
lasr night at the PROVIDENCE Opera
House, aud made to perform all kinds Of
supernatural feats. The seating capacity
OF the house was severely taxed ana toe
experiments were watched with great
interest. Previous to the seance two men
from the audience were appointed to see
that the experiments were not performed
by slight-of- hand or in any other manner
than by the Spirits. THESE two men
were more mystified by the actions OF the
unseen power than the audience. At the
end of the exhibition they had no expla-
nation to offer as to the cause of the
orange appearances produced. Unques-
tionably Miss Fay has a power or gift
which cannot be explained.

order has been placed with the bristoi

down Of n steel Yacht, which is to be "a

The new boat is to be for Archibald
Rogers of New York, one of the best anna
teur yachtmen in the country. He now
owns the Bedouin and the Wasp, and was
formerly rear commodore OF the New
York Yacht Club. Capt. Charlie Barr
will be on board. :,
This is a wonderful Turning about OF
affairs. AS the battle Is 10 be between

originality, and olo OF the best sailor

a great all-round yachtsman, one who
controls the boat and not the boat him.
He knows how to tune cat up, rig and
sail her, improve her and generally sail
her to get there.
Leaning Toward 35-Footers.
Just now it looks as IL the 46-foot class,
ms n racing class, would take n rest for a
while. for all the boats are in the market
for sale. The Wasp, Gloriana. Barbara,
Harpoon and the rest arc awaiting pur-
chasers, and this being SO the chances for
big racing next year are not very encour-
aging.
The class hsseertainly been great one.
Fife fell off his position In the 40-foot
class as established by the Minerva, and
al are out of it with the Wasp. Much
information has been gained from the
races, and the boats will all make splendid
cruisers Already the Owenee appears
as such, and her owner is more than
pleased with her. For the money ex-
pended. the 46-footers give lots OF fun
and comfort
The Bristol firm has leaning to the
35-footer. The question Is, Will this
length boat be one of the racing classes
next yearf Time will tell.

A Difference of Opinion Exists between

There is difference of opinion be.
tween the board OF public works and
the City Council ia regard to the duties
of the board. The question of lighting
the city with electricity and the action
Of Council in tho matter is the bono of
contention at present. Council, at a re-
cent meeting, authorized the work and
instructed the committee on lights to
advertise for bids. This was done, the
bids received and the contract awarded,
as stated in THE TINES
This, the board of public works claim,
Council has done improperly They
maintain. and cite the city charter as
their authority, that the board of public
works should ask for bids and take
general supervision of the work The
charter defines the duties OF tho board
as follows:
Council shall clearly define the
duties of said board, which shall be to
have special supervision over all m at
ters involving work on public improve
ments, approved and ordered by Council
of every character, and the proper exc
cution of tho work as authorized, and
no accounts for said work shall be paid

At the Masonic Temple theater last
evening the celebrated Moss family
made their first appearance in this
city, presenting their new musical
comedy IA Quick Match" The per-
formers are all musicians of exceptional
ability, and the piece is so arranged as
to bring out the special merits of zach.
The entertainment is cultured and re-
fined, yet it does not go into the realm
OF scientific and technical operate
music. 1t is rather of a popular and
pleasing character that would appeal to
all. All manner OF musical instruments
were introduced and skillfully per-
formed upon. Miss Bertha and Mary in
their song, won't You Come Out and
Play?" made decided hit, and we're
forced to respond to frequent encores.
The remainder of tho olio was carried
out in very capable and entertaining
manner. The musical comedy was very

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The school committee OF Council to-
gether with the superintendent Of
schools and TIMES representative,
made the rounds of the schools yester-
day. No one who has made such a
journey can fail to be impressed with
the difficulties under which the schools
Of Roanoke have labored, or to wonder
that 30 much has been accomplished
under difficulties.
Certain facts are borne most sharply
t. the mind. First. there isserious lack
of school room. The Commerce street
school could accommodate at least 100
more pupils il the upper story was fin
ished off and stairway put in leading
to it. All this would cost but a few
hundred dollars. 1t should be done at
once. The grading of the yard in front
of this school was ordered some months
ago, bntit has not yet been done.
There does not seem to be thermo o.
meter in this building. Tho rooms are
all steam heated, but no two have the
same temperature Tho sanitary condi-
tione here are bad, but steps are being
taken to remedy defects. Tho janitor
here is said to be very hard worked,
but he seems to be ignorant of the use
of dust brush. Rooms on the sunny
side OF tho building are generally with
out curtains, but on the shaded side
there are more than needed.
In this school, rs in nearly all Others.
much larger proportion of tho boys
than girls seems to have been frightened
by the scarlet fever and diphtheria
talk. But this is the way the world
over. There is decided lack of dis.
cipline here, but one should not Judge
too closely this detail. In spite of the
laxness we may call upon the results
obtained in justification.
The Melrose school is in a rented
building Of poor design and worse con.
a.ruction. The Fifth ward is entitled
to good school house and it ought to
be erected at as early day as possible.
The discipline and records here are
better than at any other school house
in Roanoke. The Third ward school
pairs and an addition.

several buildings, and these are bn.

by Rev. D. c. Moomaw. After tho
routine business had been dispensed
with communication was read from
Mayor Trout TO the conference, in which
he stated that as long as he was the
chief executive officer of the CITY it
would be his highest aim to suppress
the evils of she city, and asked the CO.
operation of the pastors. A letter was
read and ordered to be sent to Rev. w.
L. Schooley, late pastor of the Lee
Street Methodist Church, in which the
conference expressed their regrets at
his having to sever his connection with
their body.
A communication was read from the
Sam Jones w. g. Il. u, asking the con-
ference to furnish minister to deliver

the jail on next Sunday morning. Rev
DR.. Anderson delivered an interesting
talk on his church work and how it was
conducted.
Rev. q. C. Moomaw announced to the
conference that he had attended the
Lodge of Sorrow held by the Elks Sun
day afternoon in the Academy of Music
and was sorry that he had gone. That
the address delivered by Allen Myers
was on the sceptical order and depre-
ciated Christianity and raised the Order
OF Elks to higher standard than the
Christian world. The discussion on tn is
subject became general, and a pastor
suggested that the preachers should
discuss with their mem bers the q uestion
OF their attending meeting of such a
secret organization. Rev. G. Ii. Buch-
anap pronounced the benediction and
the conference adjourned.

Tho Belmont schoolhouse is being
pushed forward to completion, and

rot the finest public batlding, in Roa-
no&e. a brief inspection of tho buiid-
ing yesterday by the school committee
and superintendent of schools, accom-

showed, however, that tho plastering
now being put on is of the most inferior
character.
It'oontains but little lime and has no
strength, and whea it has been put
against the lsthing the key breaks at
the slightest twist. There is not
enough haiv in the plaster to put down

in many places has fallen down. Every
