GETTING RID OF TENANTS.
An "Ejectment Company" Which Con-
ducts Il Novel Business In Boston

An "Ejectment Company" Which Con-
ducts Novel Business In Boston.
Boston has an "ejectmcnt company"
which removes tenants cat reasonable
rates" Ninety per cent of the elected
are found among the poor ''rhe first
thing ask client" said the manager
of this novel business to New York
Evening Post man, sis whether the OBJ
noXious tenant has a lease. About
ninety-nine in one hundred of the
poorer classes do not. All right, then,
he giy ". ms lease q the premises
because the law says lease may be
made out for the purpose of gaining
possession of place in this manner.
Then we give the tenants notice They
usually laugh at it and tear it ND. All
right. We wait awhile, then we serve
writ on them. That usually does the
work, although they usually stay until
the last minute. If they do not 20 we
issue an execution, and that gives us
power to take the roof off the house.
Sometimes it is almost necessary to do
it, but we usually manage to get them
out without much trouble. But if it is
necessary to use force we do not hesi-
tate to do it. l always take enough
men along-a whole regiment II nee
cssary." The causes of ejectment are
given as nonpayment of rent, bad
habits and children" The company
consists of manager and constable,
the latter man of experience" who
is very proud of the wiles he uses to
clear premises of unfortunate and re-
fractory tenants. There was n case
down at the west end" he said the
other day, "where got an old woman
out of place where she had lived
over thirty years; don't suppose one
man in hundred could have done it
without getting it into the papers vet
nobody ever heard of it. Why? Sim
ply because ! went about it in the
easiest way possible; treated her Just
The same as would have treated my
own mother. She shed a good many
tears over it, and it took her a long
time to realize that she had to go. She
was half blind and got around with
difficulty. However, l got her out. 1t
was pretty delicate job and cost the
owner of the house thirty-seven dol
lars"

MERRY MONTH OF MAY.
School Chi'dren's Spring Carnival and
Closing Exercises at the Academy.

School Chi'dren's Spring Carnival and
Closing Exercises at the Academy.
Quite unique entertainment has
been devised by the teachers of the
Melrose school in which the pupils will
be given an opportunity OF presenting
to the public the scope OF their attain.
ments in the public schools, as we'll as
presenting very attractive display Of
the advances which public education
has made in this city. This entertain
ment will be given at the Academy Of
Music next Friday night at o'clock.
One OF the great needs of the public
schools has long been realized to be q
public school library, and it has been a
matter Of no small solicitude on the
part of the teachers how this could be
secured, but it was finally decided that,
as the closing exercises of the schools
could be made matter of great interest
and entertainment to the public, that
probably by giving little extra train
ing of the pupils for the occasion and
with the assistance of some Of the in
fuential citizens of the place, that
quite good entertainment could be
presented by the public school children,
and by charging merely nominal ad:
mission fee that sum could be realized
suticient to at least start upon the
establishment of library.
1t was therefore decided to charge a
general admission price of IS cents,
with balcony Is cents and second floor
10 cents; the boxes to sell at SIS apiece.
BY this means they would be enabled
to defray all expenses for the Academy
and to realize a sum Of some conse-
quence, provided there Is large at.
tendance.
Mr.. P. L. Terry and family, Hon.
Henry S. Trout and family and Mr..
Samuel w. Jamison and family have
taken most kindly interest in promot.
ing the matter of establishing a public
school library, and have reserved for
their respective families box each, as
has also Messrs. Charles W. Thomas
and M. G. Thomas. In this manner
they have contributed in no small de-
gree to the encouragement of this most
!auda6le undertaking. There will
oouotless be large number of persons
present to witness the school exercises,
prompted not more by the pleasure de.
rived from the entertainment than the
desire to further its purposes.
The box sheet will be at Thompson's
book store for the purpose of giving
ample opportunity to those desiring it
to have their seats reserved or to take
boxes. The school board and ministers
OF the city will probably occupy boxes
also.
The exercises will consist of singing,
calesthenic drill, evolutions from the
Ling system of gymnastics and the
May pole march, together with recita-
lions, one of which will be rendered by
Miss Lucie Clare, second assistant in
the Commerce street school. Prof.
Scotts quartette will render several
selections Of vocal music also, and
throughout the entertainment bids fair
to be one OF decided merit and most
enjoyable affair. Prof. Scott, who will
be In charge of the music on the occas-
Ion, is the musical Instructor for the
whole public school system of this city.

TIE WEATHER.
Bulletin for the Week Ending Monday,
May 22

LYNcHBuRG, Va, May 23.-During
the past seven days there has been
generally less than the average amount
of rainfall. except in tho extremo north
north central and portions of the eastern
counties During the first part OF the
week there was more than the normal
amount OF cloudy weather. The tenn
perature was below the normal during
the first four days, with decidedly cool
nights, but has been followed by warmer
weather since Friday. The continued
cool temperature proved somewhat in
furious to growing crops by retard ing
their growth and has affected the fruit
crop unfavorably by causing the young
fruit TO drop off
Inc peanut crop is coming up rather
slowly and much of the seed is thought
to have rotted in the ground In The
Southwest section com is also thought
to be similarly injured. Cut worms are
reported as damaging the corn in Page
county Tobacco plants are being se t
out In the southern counties, though
Inc ants nave been somewhat etard ed
by tie :ool weather. Corn planting is
generally com pleted. All garden truck
Is backward, but the warmer weather of
the last few days / as caused a decided
improvement in all kinds of vegetation,
and warm rain on Saturday and Sunday
in the Northern section have proved
very beneficial to growing vegetation.
Wheat, grass and winter oats are gener.
ally in fair to good condition, while
spring oats is not so good. Continued
warm weather is needed. The indica-
tions this morning are for cooler weather
again on Wednesday ard colder Wed

"A Suspended Bank,

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn May 23.-The
Citizens Bank, of this place, which made
general assignment Saturday, has
assets of about $4,000; the liabilities
about $4,000. The assignment was
caused largely by the Withdrawals in
the last few days, and to a certain
extent by the possibility of collecting
loans. The other banks in tho city had
been expecting the collapse and made
preparations to meet all Withdrawals of
their customers.

Chicago Markets

CHICAGO. May 23.-Weakness was the
leading feature in wheatand other grain
markets. There WAS free liquidation and
short selling was quite generous. Out.
SIDE orders were scarce and local demand
sluggish. The corn market after open.
ing at yesterdays closing prices soon
began selling off. Large receipts made
holders more inclined to sell, good
deal OF long" property coming out. The
TACT that many shorts covered yesterday
LEI left the market without much support.
The market after opening gradually
sold off full cent, action of wheat, as
sisting break and after rallying 4 ruled
steady and closed with as@5G loss.
The price changes for oats were con-
fined to 4 range. and the close was at
about the same figure as yesterday to
g decline. The feature Of the pro-
vision market was the absence of any
thing like business. The prices
averaged slightly higher.
