SALE OF SCHOOL BONDS.
New Purchasers Found for Two Hundred
Thousand Dollar Issue.

A sale of school bonds to the amount of
$500, 900 was effected yesterday through
Jacob Furth, w. r. Ballard and the
finance committee of the board of school
directors. Mr.. Furth preferred to refrain
from mentioning the name of his princi-
pals, as the purchasers desire before finally
concentrating the sale to make thorough
investigation of all the legal bearings of
che matter, but the sale has been made
subject to this investigation.
These are the bonds that Harris & Co.
purchased and then refused to take. 1t
was feared at one time that legal compli-
cations wonld arise over the matter, and
the members of the board of directors are
greatly pleased at the prospect of settling
the matter by resale of the bonds.

named for the Saxon goddess Eastre

vegetation and festivals of rejoicing for

in the First century, and as early as 162

WAS the Easter date fixed by the edict
Of Pope Gregory XIII. and even then
it continued Il movable feast"
The earliest Christians kept the Fri

violently, but the doctor paid no atten-

fainting girl and examined her carefully.
Then, looking up at her mother with an
encouraging smile, he said:
"She has only tainted. 1t is nothing
serious and she will be all right soon."
He worked over her tenderly and In
a few moments she began to revive.

Of late years my business has taken
me to Europe frequently. Every sea
traveller knows the pleasure of sailing

yet coming to regard them as old
