 Is paid for interest on the bonded debt of the New Haven School district. The people would like to know how the money received from the gale of those bonds $500, ,000) has been used. Legitimstely no doubt. But for what specific purpose has each payment been made. Let us know all about it. Mr. Graves csn tell us if he will. We supposed some of it was to be used for high school building; but it has not been.' If portion of it has been used for running expenses we want to know why the board did not recommend that the tax bs raised, instead of borrow ing money. It is poor way to run our schools with borrowed money.
 It Is said the present members should be re elected so that projects already com menced can be frished-meaning of course new buildings in process of erection. Now, the fact is the committee on school buildinos consisted of Messrs. Strong, Hol comb and Sheridan. The two last named hold over. Therefore a majority of the present committee will of course be on the same committee another year. Mir Strong having been unable to attend to business for several months prior to lis death, the others have had the work to do, and the game parties will continue to do 1t If the new ticket is elected.
 How long is this matter of increase of the indebtedness of the district going on before the voters rise and ''csll & halt We had better pay ss we go, especially toi current expenses.

Ags not many of his friends knew whether he had gone to his grave 6 rich or q poor man. But they said that old Jim would not care, because he was alone In the world, never having married.
 It has been years since Jim Rynders toyed with the kitty" or bucked the tiger. He had forsaken many of his old sporting friends and located himself in quiet home in East Oakland, where he spent his last days in piece and happiness. It was said of him that he had no worry on account of his gambling days, for he had lost more money at the gambling table than he had ever won. In fact he made the greatest loss in the state, dropping $l00, 900 at one sitting at faro. That loss is a matter of history. But Jim Rynders did not die Penniless. When he retired from the ring ot chance he made few legitimate spscu- iations and the. e.reformed gambler made an honest fortune.
 Recently W. D. Thomas, John L. Brom- Icy, and James Lsrue filed in the Alameda superior Court sn inventory and spprsise- ment of the Rynder estate. It shows that the decedent had s4, 7S0 in cash, and some mortgages In the east valued at $l, ,622. He also held a promissory note of an attor- nsy for S2, 263. The home place in East Oakland Is valued at $4, 600 Pulsss Ranch, in San Mateo, consistins of 4O4 acres. Is valued st S60, ,0Oe. The total vklue | of the estate Is s74 222. A niece of the de- ceased will inherit most of the property.

SOME VALUABLE ALLIES.

We think the gentlemen of the indispen- sable standing will be quite surprised by the attitude of lovely and voting Woman toward them on election day. If what we hear is reliable, and we know some of 1t Is, the women who are going to vote rext Monday will be largely in favor of the new ticket. They appreciate Brother Plunkett's manly beauty and Brother Graves soft and winning ways, but they also appreciate what is known ss "the situation" They think a change Is needed. They were not pleased with the treatment their advocates received at the meeting of Messrs. Graves and Plunkett. They are in favor of prog ress. They are not In favor of ring rule. They are in favor of thew blood" For these and other reasons they are, we hear, going to vote the new ticket. They will Do yaluahle elliea

 The cool assumption of Messrs. Graves and Plunkett that they are men of such standing that we ought to be thankful that they are both willing and anxious to longer undertake the management of the school business Is interesting. It may be true, for they say SO themselves, and they ought to know, but people have habit of re- senting such claim. When men notify their fellow beings that they (their fellow beinge) can't get along without them their fellow beings are often mean and exsspsr- ating enough to show them and each other that they can.
 Meanwhile, Messrs. Graves and Plunkett are not answering that awkward question about spending public money for lobbying in Hartford. A Union reporter of a per sistent nature tried to get an answer to it yesterday. He couldn't find Ar. Graves. He did succeed in finding MT. Plunkett and found him apparently in the full enjoy ment of his standing. He asked him If there was any of the dietrict money used to oil the wheels of legis- lation at Hartford. Mr. Plunkett fell back on his standing and said: "Now, you'll have to ask MT. Graves or some oth- CT member of the board for that informa- tion. I am not prepared to answer that question" This is 8 careful and curious answer. It is curious because by it MT. Plunkett sought to throw the burden of explanation on his friend Graves, and mildly intimated that he didn't know any thing about it. Mir. Plunkett Is mot pre- pared" He probably won't bs. If MT. Graves is our columns are open to him to make an explanation if he thinks tho mat ter isn't entirely covered by the "stand ing" which he and MT. Piunkett rejoice la
 We have investigated the matter, and we are satisfied that money was spent IF the way charged. And we are also satiE fled that one of the most conspicuous sup porters of the old ticket had some of 1t.

rectly If the shawl takes hold of public fa- vor. The soft China silk and the really valuable lace shawl will always prevail for special uses, and should by light of grace, but may the fate guard against the bulky India and old time Paisley shawls. These and other genuine horrors threaten, but women have proved themselves self gov erning at last in matters of fashion. The erstwhils imperative dame now humbly presents her new ideas, they are no longer commands, but they are suggestions, and the woman of to-day suits herself from the choice offered. She adopts sometIm.s. more often she sdspts, and frequently she turns up her pretty nose and goes her own way and asks nothing of fashion. Then, too, it Is that the woman of today Is often the most fascinating. FLoRETTg

In the second trial the resistance fell to fourteen pounds per ton, the second engine being shielded from atmospheric resistance by the first.
 For the privilege of wearing trousers the French government charges women tax of from $10 to $12 year. This by no means gives every woman who is willing to pay the tax right to wear trousers.
