THE FRIENDS SCHOOL.
SHALL 1T BE EXEMPT FROM TAX.
ALTON OR NOT?
Hearing Before the Com mittee on Educa-
tion-Principal Jones and City soiici-
tor CoiweIl Plead for tho Institution.

The committee on education gave a
hearing today. on the rising of the SEN
ate, on the question of exempting the
Friends. school from taxation. President
Andrews of Brown university spoke
first and took stand favorable to a sus-
pension OF the tax that has been levied
upon the school for the past seventeen
years
Augustine Jones, principal of the
Friends school, next took up the subject
and traced the history of the Institution.
lie said: "One Charge against us is that
we are denominational. Teachers are
selec ed with view to efficiency. There
are only thirty five Friends ia the school.
We owe a gre cal of our educ atiot al
system to these nurses y schools Nints,
CHARTERS TOR public uses have b, en-
granted. but none for better
purpose than this. III the school
for the use of the city of Provi-
dence. We have sold all the land that
we can possibly spare. We need endow-
lnent. we need more playground for the
boys and girls. This is virtually two
schools.
"As fast as our lots are sold they be-
come taxable property. The city does
not need our land at present, we think.
The land north aud cas- Of us is not
occupied. There In no demand for the
land and itwould have to be sold at a
great sacrifice. The institution is bound
TO assert its case before the assembly
All our worSs OF art are exposed to tax
alton. Two church scholars are exemps
and we are not. Brown University also
is exempted. We do not wish to avoid
paying our assessments. We are willing
10 repair our sidewalks and other pro-
perty devoted to public uses. We bring
$4,000 worth Of business into the city
every year"
City Solicitor Colwell said that neither
the city or state wished TO take incon-
sistent measures. Thy do not wish to
pass laws that are uoG for the public
good. He argued that il it is
necessary 10 release the school from
taxation in order that il NAV
continue to exist, il must sooner or later
req dre add tional assistance from the
state in order that it may meet its future
expenses.
George A. Littlefield replied that pri-
va benefactions would never come in
sufficient TO meet the demands of the
school unless the present burden OF
taxation were removed so as to
insure the possibility of the school con-
tinuing TOR any reasonable length of
time.
The committee will have another hear
Ing tomorrow.

This City.
Inspector OF Publ ic Buildings Hopkins
is hard after owners OF factories, blocks,
hotels aud lodging houses. and doing his
utmost to enforce the fire escape law.
IL he can prevent it TIA, re will be no repe-
tition OF the awful Calender building
fatality of eleven years ago, which so
agitated the public that the general as
sembly was called upon TO pass the law
relating To the security OF life and linn b
In cases OF fires ia factories and other
buildings.
Since the law was passed between two
and three hundred property owners have
been granted certificates OF exemption.
Many others are now erecting tire escapes.
Those on the Narragansett hotel cost
1000. They are ornamental aud the
large amount of money was expended so
that they would not mar the looks of the
hotel. Most Of the fire escapes cost
great deal less than those on the Nara
gansett.
Providence is the only city in the state
whore the law has been rigldly enforced,
but now the towns and other cities are
taking the matter up.

Today is the 1des Of March. Do you
know it In the palmy days of Rome
the term "Ides was i'm every ybody's
mouth. The Romans, with all their in
genuity In making laws aud rearing vast
engineering structures. never once
thought Of giving definite place To each
day in the month. They could build an
Appian Way, but when, for in
stance, they wished TO say "the
fourteenth OF March," they were
compelled to resort TO the clumsy and
circuitous phrase. "The day before the
ldes of March," Each month was divided
into three distinct periods and.the divi.
sions were marked by the three terms
Kalends," "Nones and Ides." The
Ides were supposed TO designate the mid
die of each month, but did
not strictly do so. In March
May. july and October the ides fell on
the 10Th. in the remaining months on the
18th. There was nothing particularly
notable about the ides Of March until the
death OF Julius Cesar This was the date
chosenfo his assassination, and from that
moment the ides OF March have gone
laundering down the ages. Cesar, ac-
cording To Shakespeare. was warned to
beware the Ides OF March" but. as he
had hitherto found them harmless, he
dlsregarded the Injunction.

alton promised the natives and the
fine times they would have. After

latter began asking questions re

1t would be just as well to go with

not; he should not be on the fence
Finally the argument reverted tC
parallels. Nc. told the native that
the present crisis was like unto 4

taro was ripe he would reap good
results and be possessed of plenty

right, but, should the taro turn out

OVER THE STATION WALL.
Escape of a Culprit Committed for
Sentence for Larceny.


William Bruett, a California crook,
was arrested on Sunday last on the
bark Katie Flickinger, for the theft
of a watch and SO belonging to
Seely Shaw. On Monday morning
he pleaded guilty in the District
Court, giving as an excuse that he
was intoxicated when he committed
the robbery on the Sunday morning
previous. Police Magistrate Foster
committed Bruett to the Circuit
Court for sentence. The man was
taken down below and locked up in
a cell, being allowed liberty in the
yard for exercise certain hours. Yes
terday evening he was locked up as
usual in the cell with other prison
crs by the turnkey. a second turn
key, relieving the first one, had
some business to do in the cell,
and after leaving it failed to
properly secure the lower bolt,
there being two bolts to the door.
Bruett, it is surmised, removed the
lower bolt, which once out of the
way made it easier for him to dis
! lodge the upper one. He then made
his way to a she'd in the yard and
secured a bench used by prisoners.
This he stood up against the wall,
and getting on it scaled the wall,
escaping into Queen street.
The escape was not discovered I'M
til ) o'clock this morning, when the
turnkey went to the cell and found
/ the bird flown. The bench was no.
ticed standing against the wall, and
thus the avenue of escape was made
apparent.
Captains Schlemmer and Juen
were Immediately detailed on the
case. They went to the S. S. Aus
tralia, the Katie Flickingcr, on
which he was formerly employed
the steamer Waialeale, which left
this morning for Hamakua, and
nearly every corner on the city
front, but their search was fruitless
The officers were, however, promised
that should Bruett turn up arounC
the city front the sailors on the YES
