DECLINES THE POSITION.

Prof. II. q. Young VIII Not ake Charge
Of h Educational Exhibit.
Several weeks & Executive Commis-
sioner Bickford, of the board of Worlds
fair managers for Montana, notified Prof.
r. G. Young that he had been appointed to
takc charge of the Montana educational OK
hibit at the Worlds fair, the compensation
being 1925 a month with a total allowance
of $57 for all expenses. Prof. Young has
taken an active part in collecting the ex-
hibit to be made by tho public schools of
the state. and particularly of the Helena
schools. His thorough acquaintance with
the work induced Commissions Bickford
to appoint him AZ the poison best qualified
to arrange and manage the exhibit at
Chicago.
At n meeting of the bonrd of education
last week Prof. Young told the members of
personally he would prefer not to 40 in an
official capacity to the Worlds fair. still as
the Helena schools had collected an exhibit
such as would do honor to any city, and
one that WAS probably superior to any other
district in the state. he believed that il be
did go and arrange the exhibit it might be
to the advantage OF the city. At q previous
meeting of tho board the subject had been
bought up by Trustee Cox, in the absence
OF Prof. Young, and the board decided to
give the superintendent a leave of absence
for thirty days without pay. In his state
ment before the boa,d last week Prof.
Young said be could not afford to go If he
was to lose his salary as superintendent.
and on motion of Trustee Gamer
the action Of the preceding meeting was
reoonsidered and, on motion of the same
gentleman, POT. Young was granted n
leave of absence for thirty days. on full
pay, to 90 to Chicago and arrange the Mon
tara exhibit. In making the motion MIR.
Gamer snid he did 80 because he felt the
trustees had no right to expect Mr.. Young
to lose money in q mission that would ben
eft the city and the state. aud At the same
time he felt that after collecting the exhibit
the Helena schools had, it shonld be prop.
terests in that respect would DO safe in Mr.
Yonng's hands.
Prof. Young had not accepted the ap-
pointment up to the time the board agreed
to give him q leave of absence on full pay,
and Jesterday after carefully considering
the subject. be decided to decline the ap-
pointment. He is actuated by the fact
that there is no certainty that he
can complete the arrangement Of tho
exhibit in thirty days, and if he should not
his duties in Helena arc such AZ to require
him to return within thai time, and possi-
bly, leave his work in Chicago incomplete.
BY his d%eclination Helena will lose what
over advantage there might be in having a
friend at couit," in arranging the display,
but the school district will have tho benefit
of his services.

The family dned quietly at the usual
hour this evening, there being but a few in
formally invited guests present besides Miss
Benedict of New York, who ha, been visit

will remain during the holidays. Although
there are reasons for the belief that the pre-,
idcnt and Mrs Cleveland will go to Lake

definite information on that subject at the
White House.
