was the best vote of his life. Mr.. Hill
wanted Dr.. Kendrick to agree to vote
for similar measure if introduced.
Dr. Kendrick stated that when he was
in the legislature he voted according 20
his convictions He thought then that
the passage Of the Olive bill would be
detrimental to the interests of the state,
and he still held the same opinion.
The resolution was put to a vote. Of
those present 81 voted in the affirmative
and ten in the negative, very large ma

manded to know if he would vote vote
for the Olive bill, Berner bill, or some
similar measure, if introduced. The
Doctor said he would. The meeting
then endorsed him and adjourned.

REDUCE EXPENSES
is THE REQUEST MADE OF THE CITY
SCHOOL BOARD
ny Prominent Tax-payers--A Communities,
uOn Addressed to the Board by
Number of Citizens

ny frominent Tax-payers--A Communities:
ton Addressed to the Board by
Number of Citizens.
When the city board of education
meets next Monday afternoon to elect a
superintendent and teachers for another
year, the secretary will read to them a
communication signed by a number of
the prominent tax payers of the CITY.
The past year the city paid about
$4,000 in taxes for the support of the
schools. Many think that the schools
can be successfully conducted much
cheaper, and in the communication adj
dressed to the board cf education some
suggestions are made on that line
The News was handed copy of the4
paper with the request to publish. Here /;
it is:
To THE BOARD OF EDUCATION or
Observation-Disclosures: In view of the,
fact that in short time you must reor,
ganize your schools for the work of an.
other year, we desire to venture a few
suggestions, asking your careful consid-
GRAFTON of the same.
Money matters are exceedingly tights
Everything is cheap except labor. Cot
ton, our only staple production, and the
thing upon which our money crop is
predicated, is lower than it has been
known since the war. We are in the
midst of financial crisis, and it be-
hooves us to be careful of our expendi-
lures. You were placed at the head of
our schools because the people regard
you as safe, competent and conservative,
business men. Now, our superintend-
ent, in the judgment of many, has very
little to do. The responsibility of the,
place he occupies is the ouly considera-
ton which justities the salary he re-,
ceives. We have only two occupied
school buildings, and very little of his
time is necessarily occupied in looking
over the teachers. Then would it not
be wise to make our superintendent the
principal of the school and let him have
zone or two of the higher grades under
his immediate tutorase, aud thus dis
pense with one teacher? There is no
doubtin the mind of the public that.the 5
services of the superintendent are not 1.
commensurate with his pay. Then you
could employ competent male teacher
for less than 81 900, and could possibly
do with fewer female teachers. We APP
preciate the fact that the laborer is
worthy of his hrie, and that honest,
faithful, competent teachers are poorly
paid, but we are also aware that compe-
tent teachers are all the time seeking
places and not demanding fabulous wa
ges. We mus retrench. Economy in all
thin S hould be our mot o.
Think of these suggestions and act as
If the money was to be paid out of your
individual pockets.

4 TERRIFIC HURRICANE.

It Passes over Central New Zealand
 and the Damage Done is Enormous
 -Tramc Greatly InterruPted-Fears
 That Many Wood Cutters Have Been
 Killed.
 WELLINGTON, N. Z., May 16-A terrific hurricane passed over central New Zealand and the damage done is enormous. The rain fell in sheets, causing the small streams to become rushing torrents. Long stretches of railroad embankment were washed away by the rushing waters and traffic is still greatly interrupted. It is late autumn in the antipodes and in many places the crops were awaititg the hands of harvesters. Hundreds of acres of wheat, corn, oats and barley were ruined, the standing crops being beaten down and badly twisted and matted. Many coasting vessels were driven ashore, and it is believed the loss of life will prove to have been heavy. Reports from all parts of the country visited by the hurricane show that buildings have been either blown down or unroofed in every direction. The money damage caused by the storm cannot be es- timated. It is thought many men in the wood cutting camps in the forests have been killed by falling trees.

THE GRANITE LOCKOUT,

Greatest Labor Trouble That New
 England Has Ever Been Afflicted
 with-About Twenty Thousand are
 out.
 BOSTON, May 16.-The greatest labor trouble that New England has ever been afflicted with is now in full progress. It is in the granite trade. On Saturday af- ternoon all of the granite firms in New England, with but few exceptions, closed their works by 8 concerted pre- arrange not consent to have all agreements between employer and employe date each year from January instead of from May 1 as has been the custom. Such an agree. ment, the manufacturers claim, is essen- tial to the proper conduct of their busi- ness, for the most of their yearly contracts are made in January.
 A conservative estimate places the num- of locked-out men at 10000. They live mainly in Boston, Quincy, Monson, Rock port and Milford, Mass, Concord, N. H.. Hallowell, Wsterville, Clark's Mills and Westerly, R. I. In many places the feel ing among the granite cutters is that the present state of affairs will not last longer than the present week, but thus far neither manufacturers nor employees are disposed to make any concession what ever. Some firms that have government contracts are permitted to keep part of their men at work. The men who are idle claim that the manufacturers have vio- lated their contract by giving them only fifteen minutes notice of the lockout, in stead of the three months that the con. tract called for.
 While the lockout is the chief topic ot l conversation in granite centers and thou
 sands of men are idle, they have been re
 markably quiet and well-behaved every, l where, 30 far as reported.

 PROVIDENCE, May 16.-The game on Lincoln field this afternoon between Brown and Yale was easily won by the Brown nine by the score of 7 to2. The game was one-sided, uninteresting, and the victory, contrary to all previous college games, aroused no excitement on the part of the students. The honor of the victory is due almost wholly to Sexton, who pitched a great game. He struck out ten men, al- lowed but two their base on called balls and Murphy's single in the third was the only hit made by Yale in the nine innings. On the other hand the home team batted Wyckof freely and were able to hit the ball at the right time. The score.

ANOTHER BIC DEAL,

messrs. Rockefeller and Morgan Pur-

 PROVIDENCE, R. l.. May 16.-An impor- tant railroad deal is confirmed in this city tonight. MT. J. F. Ray of Franklin, Mass, who controlled about 2,O00 of the 2,800 shares of the stock of the Rhode Island and Massachusetts rail1oad, has sold out at something above par to Messrs. Rockefeller and Morgan of New York. There were $100, ,000 worth of the stock in Rhode Island and $1SO, 1000 in Massachu- setts. MT. Rockefeller is prominent di- rector of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. The effect of this trans- action will be disastrous to the New York and New England road. The latter road now has line between Franklin and Val ley Falls, which is under a ninety nine years' lease to the Rhode Island and Mas sachusetts railroad.
