Respectfully Submitted TO the school
Board.
The plan of solid session, adopted this
year by the Brattleboro High school, seems
worthy to be followed by more of our
towns, and is, indeed, gaining favor in
many of the largest schools. 1t is one
which has long been desired by the pupils
of our High school, and seems to be pref
cradle to the old two-session system now
in vogue here. As it is now arranged, pu-
pills enter the school at o o'clock, remain
ing until u, when an intermission of an
hour and a half is allowed. Entering
again at 80, they remain until 4:15, max
ing a long, hard day, and giving little time
for recreation. A year ago petition was
drawn up by the members of the school
and signed by all, except one, asking that
a solid session be held on Wednesday OF
each week, thus giving the afternoon as a
slight mid-week rest, and taking scarcely
anything from the usual hours of study.
This was handed to the committee, but
nothing has been heard of it. The hours
adopted by the Brattleboro school are from
s A. NJ. till 12:45, five hours remaining for
rest or outside work. Pupils who have
not completed their work in this time, OF
who wish to give extra time to any partic'
ular study, may return in the afternoon.
This seems to be plan worthy of consid-
Grafton by the members of our school
board.

Satisfied With the Democratic Board.

HAMPTON, VA, August 9.-Special.-
An ex-Union soldier. now resident OF
this county. who during the war was
a member OF the Old Guards Of Boston,
Twenty-fourth Massachusetts, regiment,
who receives a pension OF s2l per month.
and was for seven or eight years an
inmate OF the Soldiers Home here.
called on your correspondent to-day, and
after stating that he had read the inter-
view with Governor Woodhn In reference
10 the new medical examining board APP
pointed by the Democratic administra-
ton. which appeared recently i'm The
Times, said that In justice TO all parties
he would like TO have the following state
ment published:
HE had gone through the Home and
talked with a number OF the inmates.
and had found no excitement I'm reference
to the appointment OF the new board.
and with n very few exceptions the PEN
sioners generally with whom he talked
said the new board was entirely salts
factory TO them, and they had no feeling
whatever in the matter. Several OF the
men with whom he talked had been ex-
amined for pensions by Hampton doc
tors. and had entire confidence in their
honesty, skill and freedom from preju-
dice. In mis- opinion the present board
was responsible for any trouble among
the men. and they were actuated solely
by a desire to retain their positions.

lewis Archer Cardoxo
Died at the residence OF his mother.
Mrs l.. j. CardozO. in the city OF Rich
mond. on the eth day OF August. just be-
fore the dawn OF a peaceful Sabbath day.
The name and character Of this young
gentleman are entitled to something more
than a mere obituary notice.
He died I'm his eighteenth year, but he
had lived long enough to impress his
talents and his character upon all peo-
ple-old and young-with whom he had
any acquaintance. He was absolutely
free from the vices which beset and drag
down so many OF the youth OF our land.
For several years before his death he
was a consistent, earnest and devoted
member OF st. Pau's Episcopal church,
in this city. Endowed with fine intel
lect. he cultivated ~ assiduously from
the time his school life began. AT tho
end OF n two-years' course In the Rich
mond College. he received from that noble
Institution OF learning every honor FOE
which he contended. and delivered his
diplomas into the hands OF his loving
mother. only TO retire to the bed from
which ne was never 10 arise.
His life was an example OF pure and
lofty endeavor and purpose. which will
he remembered for good by ell who knew
him His death was no loss to him.
TO his mother, with whom he lived In
sweet and confidential companionship,
his little brother and his intimate asso-
ciates, II Is not 10 be estimated. He
had remarkably clear moral perceptions
and splendid moral courage, which
guided him IN the straight and narrow
path Of duty without fear and without
rerroach. Those who sorrow over his
death will suffer only the remembrance
OF their loss, not his. They may well
cherish the tender and beautiful lines OF
! Moores

j. l.. johnson Wins the Five Mile National
Championship Race.

CHICAGO. ILL, August 9.-The
seventh event-the five-mile national
championship-was the race Of the day
and OF the tournament Such talent as
Zimmerman, J. s. Johnson. F. II. futile.
l.. ID. Munger, C. T. Kinsley, II. L. 9th
ings and G.. d. Gary appeared on the
track. At the shot Munger took the
lead and set the pace for a lap. when
Kinsley took his place. They varied with
futile and Githings. and as the miles
piled I'D II was seen that wonderfully
fast race was being ridden. Faster and
faster spun the wheels. kinsiey shot
into the lead. AS the riders flashed
across the line, W. III. van Tick leaned
forward and announced that the worlds
record for four miles in competition had
been broken. The time for the four
miles was 1912 is, which gives Kinsley
the championship record by one second.
But the race was getting still more earn
est. Johnson and Zimmerman took the
lead. As the riders whirled around the
north turn in the finish lap, Zimmerman
bent to his work, with Githings less than
a length behind, followed closely by
Johnson. Zimmerman shot into the
stretch with a slight increase In his lead.
and many were shouting his name as a
winner. Johnson, however. had been
riding up into phenomenal squirt, and
as the last two hundred yards we're en-
tered unon he caught Zimmerman and
dashed across the line a winner by five
feet. There was a claim made by Vim
merman's trainer that his wheel had
soft tire. but IL was generally conceued
that the Minneapolis man had fairly won
the great race upon his own merits' ana
not through chance or luck. Johnson
