Controller Roberts makes an interesting sug-
geston in reference TO the common school fund
Of the State. This fund has been IN existence
nearly a century, and by the Constitution (Arti-
Gle IX, Section II 1t must be preserved invio-
late" The fund now amounts to Si,O00,OOO. anG
yields $4,000 annually to the State. This sum
is absuWly inadequate for the support of the
common schools, and Mr.. Roberts thinks 1t
would be wiser 10 raise the $4,000 by direct
taxation and to use the fund Itself 10 reduce
the general State tax during number Of years.

lay his views on the subject before the COnstitu-
tional Convention.

Santa Fe Railway employees, whoi were
recently summoned to appear before the
u. s. Court at Topeka last night,
fatty refused to obey the mandates
of the court. During the recent
strike, the strikers were served
with copies of restraining orders from

them from trespassing on or molesting
the company's property. In addition,
they were notified to appear In person at
the meeting of the court at Topeka,

against them.

THE PASSING Oh TROY.
Visit to Providence Profitable Al
though Troy Played Poorly.

If the games played by the Troys in this
city were a sample OF the average work OF
that team, its position in the league race
must have been attained by the biggest
kind of luck. There are more than W.
teams that could play all around them.
The players came here homeless and
without q dollar and Providence sent
them away with lots OF money and a
q place to go TO. Therefore the Eastern
League is under obligations to this city
that it tried its best to injure in previous
seasons.
The benefit game yesterday netted the
visitors about 800. The playing was not
especially interesting, and at times it was
tiresome. Lyons played third base and
Lovett waa out in the pasture. Sullivan
pitched three innings and Eagan finished
the game. The Grays batted Donovan
freely and won the game easily. Score.
