There's queer little man lives down the

Where two of the broadcast highways meet,
In a queer little house that's half OF it glass,
With windows open to all who pass,
And a low little roof that's nearly fat
And a chimney as black as papa's best hat
Oh, the house is built on this funny plan
Because it's the home Of the popcorn mani

HARRINGTON, Maine, June Is, 1894.-Fred
A. Burbank is a commercial traveller who
represents a pattern company of New York
and has been employed by the firm for
years. Yesterday be came into court here,
told Judge Whitehouse a story of his mar
ried life, and asked for a divorce.
1t seems that Burbank met in Chicago a
young actress calling herself Stella A.
Hodges, playing IN one of the principal the
aires in that city. Burbank was much i'm
pressed with the woman, and shortly after
ward, seeing the actress again in Birmlng-
ham, Ala, pleaded his suit successfully.
The marriage was solemnized at once, and
they went to Chicago, where Burbank made
a home for his bride IN Indiana street.
They had been married but a week, when
an order from the pattern company direct
ing Burbank to make al immediate tour OF
five months duration in Ohio was received.
| 1t was decided that it was best for Mrs.
Burbank not to accompany him, and so he
babe her farewell and started on his tour.
For a few days letters came daily, and then
they suddenly ceased, and in their place
| came a notice from the landlorn Of his In

About the same time another commercial
traveller informed Burbank that he had met
the woman travelling with another man in
Michigan. All efforts to trace her or dis

APPROPRIATIONS ASKED FOR

Notwithstanding School
Graduates.
APPROPRIATIONS ASKED FOR

At precisely half-past nine o'clock last
night a boy in Bay street fired a toy pistol.
The instant he did SO, President Allen of the
Board of Education said
''The board will come to order"
The first business transacted was the APP
pointments, without a dissenting vote, of l.
P. Towne of Paterson, Principal of School
No. 25, in the place Of James B.. Dillingham;,
resigned; Louis Goodenough, to be Principal
of the new school, No. Is; James I. Mackey
of the High School, to be Principal of No. p,
in place of Mr.. Evans. The salary attached
to each of these positions is 81, $50. Miss
Ella J. Richardson was appointed Principal
in the Primary Department.
The harmony which had been displayed up
to this time was too angelic to last long, and
under a resolution to amend a rule concern
ing teachers salaries, trouble was instituted
and war declared.
The rule which was to be amended pro-
vided that increases Of salary by reason of
having served two and five years as a
teacher shall go into effect on December l..
phe effect of this rule has been that if a
teacher should be appointed in January he
| or she would have to wait two years and
| eleven months to secure the increase which a
! teacher appointed in November would only
/ have ~ Hd1U WV ~ w. ~
ment to this rule provided that teachers
should be entitled to the increase as soon as
| they had taught the two and five years.
| This increase for two years amounted to but
IS. and in five years to $128. The salary to
| begin with was 800.
SIMPSONS OPPOSITION.
Mr.. Simpson opposed the amendment. He
said:-HWe creatures of q reform Mayor
have no right to increase salaries and ought
| not to do SO during the present hard times.
When this board had a Democratic ma
jority@'
ssThe gentleman will COME to order,n ex-
claimed President Allen, 1.-THE chair would

salaries g. $50 this year" Z
.sThe schedule of salaries, page No. 81
provides, said Mr.. Cowles, that teachers
| Shall receive S40O a year for the first two
years, and $40S after that until five years
elapses and then the teachers shall receive
S52S. The salary is so low that 1T is almost
mean and it is a shame to cheat these teach
ers out of their dues. There are some here
who, because they were appointed by a
reform Mayor, think it right to cheat a poor
teacher @"

Simpson jumping from his chair, sshe has no
right to use the word cheat"

ages from His Throat-Dis-
covered in Time.

Edward Bull of Harrison, who Is in the
County Jail on an Indictment for the muir
der of his wife, attempted to commit suicide
last night. Bull, after he cut his wife's
throat, drew a razor across his own throat,
but the effect is not so serious as the murder
Gus slash he gave his wife. Bull was taken
to st. Michaels Hospital, Newark, and ne
remained there until he was removed to the
County Jail last Saturday.
His actions when taken to the Jail aroused
the suspicious of Sheriff Toffey n he de
tailed Keeper Casey to watch Bull carefully.
1t was while Casey was making his usual in
spections..last night that he saw Bull lying
o n his bunk, apparently asleep. Casey, for
some reason, did not like the appearance OF
things and he spoke to Bull. The murderer
made no response.
Casey entered the cell and found that
Bun was shamming sleep ami that he had
torn the bandages from his throat and re-
opened the wound. He was bleeding copl-
ously.
The keeper v an alarm and Bull was
given proper treatment, but he would not
Submit to having his wound dressed until II
was threatened that he would be strapped to

TYPE WRITING MACHINES U GO.
Director Simpson kicked up another
economical row over the bill of $500 for type
writing machines which had been used in
teaching pupils at the High School.
Mr.. Simpson. as Chairman of the Finance
Committee, refused to sign the bill, and in
doing SO he exclaimed
"Ill never sign that bill as long as i am
Chairman of the Finance Committee, and I
want these machines taken out of the
schools"
Mr.. Simpson gained his point, and pupils
hereafter will not have a chance to learn
type writing.

said:-
