UNJUST TO PUPILS
Customs of Some Teachers Condemned
by the Board OF Education.

Customs of Some Teachers Condemned
by the Board of Education.
The City Board of Education held its
regular monthly meeting last night, re-
CARELESS of the fact that yesterday was
what is known as a legal holiday. There
were present Directors Tufts, Harrison,
Chapman, Crouch, Davis, Sherburn, and
superintendent Hart.
The Committee on Furniture and Sup
plies reported some minor repairs to
school-desks and furniture, and the mat
ter OF substituting either a new furnace
for the one in use at the Sacramento
Grammar School or constructing two
new chimneys was discussed.
1t was suggested to provide hot-W alter
heaters, also, If the cost would not be too
great
The matter was finally referred to the
Building and Repairs Committee, with
instructions to investigate, and that COM
mlttee was empowered to act as il deemed
most judiciOus.
Some discussion ensued concerning the
custom of teachers reported as giving
pupils dement's for asking to be excused
during school hours. and it was con-
demned as very injudicious practice in
ordinary cases.
1t had also been reported that in some
OF the schools where an otfense was com
mitted by pupil an entire class was
given dement's, or held to answer there
for. This was also condemned as an in
justice, and was referred to Superintend-
ent Hart for investigation.
At the next meeting the board will
reorganize by electing officers for the en-
suing year.
Those Of the members of the board
whose terms expire with the year, owing
to the fact that no election was held, as
customary, will retain their offices until
their successors are elected next year.

There was great rejoicing when Nose

Gathered by Secretary Rusk Number
and Value of Horses ia New England.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25. = Uncle Jerry
Rusk s men have figured out that there
are IS 49S, l40 horses in use on the farms
and ranches Of this country, to say no
thing of those in the cities. There are
nearly ,500001 more OF these animals in
use than there were ten years ago.
A preference for horses is seen in many
sections where mules were formally used.
and as for oxen, few OF them are used now
for farm purposes, or in mining or lum-
bering. A similar increase is noted in all
classes of farm animals, aud lis estimated
that there are in this country today 2,3l4,-
600 mules, l6.4l635l mich cows, 37,65i,-
$50 oxen and other cattle. "A 9ss, 365 sheep
and 50, 3as, 0l9 swine The value Of these
animals is computed to be s., 45l, 755,69s
There has been falling off in the prices
of horses and mules during the past year,
due to the rapid increase in number dur
ing the last ten years. The price Of sheep
has steadily increased. while all the other
classes Of farm animals declined in value,
and now sheep fetch more than at any time
since 1874.
In New England, the reports OF Secretary
Rusk show the number and value of
horses to be as follows:

LAPHAM FISHERY BILL.
Has Congress Any Right to
Legislate on This Subject?
OPPONENTS OF THE BILL SAY NO.
PiIlsbury of Massachusetts Claim
That IL is an Invasion of
Their States Rights.

WASHINGTON, Feb 25-The house com
mittee on merchant marine and fisheries
continued its hearing on the Lapham men
haden and mackerel fisheries bill, devoting
the day to listening to persons who wished
to oppose the bill on the legal ground that
the propoeel legislation is without the
jurisdiction of the federal government and
is a matter for state regulation. Among
those present to object TO the passage of
the bill were George III. Palmer of New
Bedford representing the Southeastern
Massachusetts, Fish and Game Protective
league; Mr.. Chamberlayne, representing
the towns along Buzzards bay, Massachu-
sets, and Congressmen Jones of Virginia
and Milliken of Maine.
Congressman Randall of Massachusetts,
read a letter from Attorney General Pills
bury of Massachusetts opposing the pass
age of the bill on the ground that it
was an invasion of the Jurisdiction of
Massachusetts, and asking an opportunity
TO present personally the views of the
state authorities, including Governor Rus
SELL Mr.. Pillsbury will be heard next
Wednesday
Congressman Jones of Virginia opposed
the bill on the constitutional ground that
there was vested in the states excl
jurisdiction over the fisheries within their
limits.
The committee was apparently satisfied
as TO the constitutional question and was
disposed to close the hearing, but finally
decided to listen next week to o.her per-
sons who desire to speak on the legal
points at ISSUE the chairman (Mr. Fowler
saying that there would be no more hear
ings as to the merits of the bill.
Mr.. Palmer fled brief with the COM
mittee opposing the passage of the BILL
the title of which, he said should read
"A bill to destroy the fisheries as now
regulated in Buzzards and Casco bays
and to establish monopoly Of fishing
therein" The bill, he said, would open
up all rivers, estnaries and bays along the
sea coast to indiscriminate and destruc-
tive fishing. The bill was an attempt to
GUST Massachusetts from its Jurisdiction
over the fisheries within ITS borders. He
asserted that it was in the interest OF a
combination of steam fishermen, market
men and manufacturers of fertilizers
Mr.. Milliken of Maine wanted an oppor-
tunity 10 present some facts with refer
ence to the fisheries in case the committee
should decide that it had the legal right
to enact the proposed legislation. The
committee apparently did not think it
would be necessary to hear Mr.. Milliken,
but said he should be notified if it decided
to report measure

GRACEFUL TRIBUTE TO Gun POET
The Truest Representative of What Is

Proposed Monument.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-The Times publishes
letter from Leslie Stephen, NJ. A., the
well known author and journalist, who,
in the communication referred to, pro-
poses that fund be raised for the pur-
pose Of erecting a monument in London
or elsewhere TO the late James Russell
Lowell During the course of his letter
Mr. Stephens says that this being the
birthday of the late Mr.. Lowell and I'M
Outstanding that memorial services will be
held in the United States, he believes that
Englishmen would be glad TO show their
respect for one of the most eminent
writers of the common language Of Eng
land and America and who, while minis
ter Of the United States, said nothing that
did not tend to promote the good will of
the nations. Mr. Stephens urges that the
proposed monument be erected in West
minister Abbey, as one of Longfellow has
been, as proof of the national regard.
The letter concludes with the offer to re
ceive subscription for carrying into effect
the plan proposed. The ST. James Gazette
supports the proposition. IL says James
Russell Lowell was the truest representa-
tive of what is best in American and
British intellect and character. He be-
gan as a New England patriot and parti-
san and ended one of the sincerest adj
mirers of old England.
