To Open Kindergarten School.

Misses Mary E. Pond and Florence
r. Keene, Of Washington, D. c., are in
the city with the object in view of
starting school for the instruction of
children by the kindergarten method
should the enterprise meet with suffi-
Gent encouragement to warrant an
undertaking of this kind. The young
ladies are graduates OF the National
and Froebel kindergarten Normal In
stitute at Washington, and come to this
city highly recommended by many
clergymen and prominent educators Of
the Capitol. They are undoubtedly
familiar with this important method of
Instruction and are we'll supplied with
the necessary models, charts, designs,
etc, used in the most complete teaching
in this work Children up to the age
Of seven years will be received for in
struction. The kindergarten method
has become so very general in it's extent
that it may almost be considered to be
the national method of teaching chill
dren before they are old enough to enter
the regular branches of the public
schools. In many places it has already
been introduced into the regular estab-
lished schools. 1t is to BIO hoped that
the Misses Pond and Keene will meet
with success in establishing their work
in this city.

I will devote an hour or so this

In point of economy is not the elect

cost of our village is about $4,000
more than gas lights, and at each
! meeting night of the council, petions
are presented for more light and it
is estimated by those who give it a
thought that the electric light will
cost the corporation, double the
amount that the gas did There is no.
an alley in town lighted, and only
about half the streets. This was not

we'll lighted as well as the streets,
and our cltiSens are beginingto to see
the mistake they made in voting for
change. They are not near enough
poles, and to increase the number
will add to the cost, now more than
was anticipated, apd as matter of
economy demanded by the people.
The Council, instead of adding more
poles, should contract with the Gas
Co to supply the deficiency by light
ing up the alleys, and others places
where crime originates. The finance
committee cut the gas bill 25 cents.
and vet it paid the Electric Light
bill in full, although for several
nights there was no lights, owing to

the contract be adhered to in all |
cases and all be treated alike. Citi-
zens have their eyes open and will
detect expose and punish violations
of this and other contracts. Council
should also see that the Street Com,
missioner, shows some good work
for the enormous expense.
Local politics are not cutting
big figure just now, although there
is some talk about Senator for this
District, and the general sentiment
is for V G Lowry, and there is no
doubt about his nomination and elec

Charles Foster, late Secretary of the
Treasury, now that they are known,
are scandalous in a high degree. The
bank controlled by HIM has liabill-

enormous discrepancy was created
mainly by Foster himself, who over
