THE WORK TOO TARDY.
Board OF Education on New Build

Board Of Education on New Build
lngS.
The board of education held special
meeting yesterday afternoon at which
the necessary steps were taken to COM
plete the new buildings in course of
construction.
The first matter considered was the
awarding of contract for certain re-
pairs and alterations needed in the Ken
wood school. which is the old Douglass
building removed to kenwood. The
bid of }. q w. a. Elliott was found to
be the lowest. and the contract was
awarded to that firm at 1,270.
A payment of ST, 600 was ordered made
to w. .. Clark, the contractor who is
building the Van Cleve building. and a
payment of 5000 to Eric Lund, the
contractor of the new Douglass build
ing.
The members of the board have be-
como indignant at the apparent indis-
position of the contractors who are do
ing the work upon these buildings to
push the work so as TO have it completed
at the time specified in their contracts,
at which time the buildings will be
needed for the opening work of the
school year. They accordingly adopted
resolutions addressed ito the architects
and builders concerned in the construc-
ton of these buildings. urging them in
strong terms 70 carry forward the work
as eXpeditiouSly as possible. The work
on the new Douglass building is said to
be especially behind.

Republican County Committee to
Make Dates July 80.
George A. Bracket has issued a call
for meeting OF the county committee
to be held Monday, July 80. at which
the dates will be decided upon for the
Republican county and legislative pri-
maries and conventions.
The state central committee recon-
mended that the legislative conventions
be held separately from the county con-
ventions. and no doubt this will be
done. Presumably separate sets of
delegates will be chosen at the same
primaries, as was done at the recent
case of the legislative, judicial and
county conventions. Both conventions
will be of absorbing interest to the poll
ticians.
Besides the scramble for the loaves
and fishes TO he contested for in the
county, the Washburn fight will wax
warm over the legislative nominations,
and a red-hot time is looked for all
around.

NO MILITARY ESCORT.
Mr.. Cleveland Often Goes Alone
on His Drives.


Special TO the Globe
WASHINGTON, July 1s.-There is
passing about through the country
press of Minnesota paragraph stating
that since the assassination of President
Carnot President Cleveland's carriage
is followed and preceded by a cavalry
escort. This is not true. During the
intensely hot weather now prevailing in
Washington President Cleveland is
driven for two or three hours each
evening in the White House carriage.
Sometimes he is accompanied by some
member of the cabinet, sometimes by
his private secretary. His carriage Is
never accompanied by the military.
He takes his drives like any private
gentleman, and appears to be totally
oblivious of the fact that there is sucS
thing on earth as all anarchist or
crank. Sometimes he drives several
miles into the country, sometimes skirts
the suburbs of the city, returning home
through the main tboroughfares. He
never manifests the slightest nervous
ness as to personal assault, and proba-
bly, would refrain from driving at all
rather than be accompanied by mill
tary escort.
