Prices Of School Books.
Editor Of The Times.

EdltOr OF / he lines
In view of the fact that many complaints
are being made from different parts of tue
State in reference TO the exorbitant price Of
school books permit me TO say through your
columns that IL is the duty OF every school
officer TO see that the law is carried out, so
that the patrons of the schools will not be inn
posed in this respect Now. as G. the best
means Of getting the attention of the people
on this important matter, / would suggest
that the Superintendent OF Public Instruction
call the attention of the county superlnten-
dents 10 the matter and let them
see that the school law IS
observed by the trustees in their
respective counties. ! am glad 20 know that
the Legislature has been disposed To be
liberal towards the higher institutions of
learning and | would suggest that each mem
Der now that his legislative duties are over
look into this matter and have the price OF
school-books published in his county papers.

An Agreement Entered Into by Colonel Cary
Cansed CompLlcntlons.


The Council Committees on Finance and
Schools met yesterday in joint session in
the chancery courtroom. The question con-
sdered was the purchase of the Grant prop
erty on lay street. near Twelfth. for sic
for the now school building 20 take the place
of Central School. which, as will be remem-
bered was donated bv the city 10 the
Ladies' Confederate Memorial and Literary
Association.
A short time ago the Finance Committee
appointed subcommittee 10 arrange rs %

estate agent. Colonel john b. Cary signed an
agreement 70 purchase the pr periy i.r -lJ.-

Iwellth-street place, but Mrs. Grant held that
piece OF property al too high . CURE.
Colonel Cary WAS the only one of the sub
committee that signed tie agreement. The
other members OF the committee are Messis

ter these negotiations were completed Col
onel Purcell by excellent diplomacy acquired

ninety days. The price If the estate was
purchased would be the same as tie Clay

school on Clay street
At the meeting yesterday these facts were
laid before the Councilman present. and the
question arose rs 10 whether Colonel Cary
would be personally liable for the signing Of
the agreement accepting the Cay-street
property. Colonel urcell also argued in
favor OF the city accepting the Iweltth-street
property and after some little discus
sion several technical points having arisen,
the matter WAS referred 10 Mr. {. y. Mere
dith. city attorney for his opinion on them.
Ii IL very probable that the Twelfth-stTeet
property will be the place purchased for the

We saw little Indian girl few weeks
ago at Laquna, NJ M, in the Pueblo set
element there. Her feet and legs were
incased in queer linen bandages that
simulated stockings and shoes. all in one
piece. She wore calico skirt, a red
bodice and a black shawl that served
both as bonnet and wrap, and on her lit
tie sleek head she carried great sun
baked water jar. Josephine" asked

she is braiding her long locks for him
and saving her nickels-there are no PEN

Puzzling tho Prussian Authorities.

A man was recently placed on trial in
the criminal court of Dusseldorf, charged
with robbery, and also with murder. He
was convicted of the lesser crime and SEN
fenced TO five years penal servitude. Then
he was put on trial for murder, and after
tedious examination of witnesses was con-
demned to die. Now the authorities are
in quandary as TO which sentence shall
be executed first. The criminal himself
argues in favor of the penal servitude, for
the reason, as he sagely points out, that III
you execute me first, shall always be in
your debt for the other term"

The widow of Charles Stewart Parnell,
who was formerly Mrs. O'Shea, is a sister
of Sir Evelyn Wood Recently her aunt,
Mrs Wood, bequeathed her an estate val
ued at about 81 100000. The general and
six nieces and n nephew of the testatrix
contested the will on the old and well
worn, though frequently successful ground
of undue influence" The Thought Of the
scandal which was certain to be engen-
dered by such an unseemly contest wor-
ried Mrs. Parnell greatly. She finally
came to the conclusion that the other rela-
tives ought to receive just as much as she,
and she has accordingly divided up with
them, share and share alike. Her act is
highly commended in England
