A Kansas School Board Objects to Teachers
Marrying During the Term.
A young lady who goes to Concordia,
Kan, to teach school will find very
exacting rule, which was recently adopt
ed by the board of education. It seems
that several lady teachers have married
in the midst Of the term when it was
impossible to fill their places. This the
Concordia school board proposes to reg
ulate, and it did so recently by the
adoption of the following resolutions:
Inasmuch as it seems to be the GUS
tom of lady teachers of the public
schools of Concordia, Kan, to contract
marriage without the knowledge or con-
sent of said board, therefore be it
Resolved, By said board Of education
that should any Of the lady teachers of
the Concordia schools hereafter commit
matrimony during the term for which
they have been elected they shall forfeit
sum of money equal to one-hah
months salary, provided they take a
home man, and sum equal to one
months salary in case the groom is i'm
ported from some other county or
state; in either case the lady shall cause
card of invitation to be sent to each Of
the members of the board Of education.

The Baby.s Name and Title.

Contrary to the confident assertions Of
i'll informed persons, the new royal
baby will bear no title for the present
other than the courtesy one of prince.
He has no right yet even to the prefix of
royal highness, but the queen is expect
ed speedily to remedy that defect in his
status by a special warrant The only
question Of pressing moment is the
Christian names to be given to this i'm
portant and fortunate infant. The late
Duke Of Clarence was baptized Albert
Victor because the queen desired the
throne of England to be filed one day

name revived, it will certainly be the

A Trial on the Monongahela Demonstrates
Their Value as Messengers.
The United States practice ship Mo
nongahela, Captain c. M Chester COM
manding, has arrived in GARDENERS bay
from Annapolis. She has three classes
of naval cadets on board and is on her
summer cruise.
An interesting experiment with pi-
geon messenger service was tried The
Monongahela took with her number
Of birds from the Naval academy loft.
Each day after leaving Annapolis one Of
these was released with messages for
home. The last was liberated 80 miles
off Cape Henry and fully 200 miles
from Annapolis. Advices received from
Annapolis show the birds reached there
in good time
Lieutenant F. N. Tyler will put in a
messenger pigeon loft at the Norfolk
navy yard, as the experiment, the Off
GERS of the Monongahela declare, has
shown such messenger service can be
made an important feature Of all our
naval stations and warships cruising
along the coast.-New York World.
