tons would increase in proportion to its population.
 If this be true the grand list of the district property assessed at two-thirds of Its value should be nearly s7o,ooo. 900, or at It's full value would give the dis trict a grand list of sioo,ooo0oo from which to raise funds for the mainte- nance of the schools.
 The board therefore suggests that the district instruct 1t to favor such legislation as may be necessary to se- cure a re-assessment of the rateable property of the city school district of New Haven at the next meeting of the legislature.
 The board does not feel justified In recommending tax of less than Al mills for the coming year. Less than that would not meet the ordinary ex- penses of the year.
 The fourth annual report of Superin. tendent Curtis on the state of the school was adopted.
 Three thousand copies of the report will be printed for public distribution.
 The recommendation of the board to be acted on at the annual district meeting will be found under the call for the meeting in another column.

 Rev. John Hood.
 Boston, Sept. 11.--A civil suit for dam ages has been brought by Mrs Philip Morrison, wife of the sexton of the First United Presbyterian church, corner of Berkeley and Chandler streets, against Rev. John Hood, pastor of the church. The case is assigned for Saturday in the municipal court. Mrs. Morrison claims that MT. Hood assaulted her last Saturday evening by striking her in the face with his fists.
 The assault is an incident in an era of hard feeling that has prevailed for six months or more between the two factions in the church. one anxious to get rid of the pastor and the other equality determined to retain him. MT. Hood admits striking the woman, but claims he was provoked by her tongue and by her clinging to himin an effort to prevent his progress through the church. 5s 1,

 Chicago. Sept. 1.-The trial of the American Railway union contempt cases was resumed this morning before :. Judge Woods in the United States court. General Superintendent Dunlap of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific road, testified as to interruption of traffic on his road and delaying of mall trains. The court ruled that the witness could testify only as to what he actually saw and could not use information prepared in typewritten form which was received from employees under him. He heard members of mobs on different occasions jeer at the government and curse the woods-Grosscup injunction in un- measured terms. He also was witness to the stopping of trains and heard en- glneers threatened by rioters.
 Do you think there would have been trouble in moving trains if there had been no threats of violence?" asked MT. Walker.
 T do not. Just as soon as we got protection we found no trouble In filling the places of strikers and in operating our trains"
 MT. Dunlap said that in the twenty six years experience he had never seen strike unaccompanied by violence. On cross-examination MT. Gregory tried to elicit information in regard to the methods of the managers association. Counsel for the government objected on the ground of irrevelance upon which MT. Gregory made long speech in which he pointed that he would at- tempt to prove the existance of a com- bination to reduce wages.
 General Superintendent Busler of the Burlington road testified that many the trains on the road had been detained strikers. J. N. Seal, general superinten- dent of the Mobile and Ohio, testified that he had petitioned Debs for a re- lease of the boycotted trains. Debs tel egraphed:
 Have ordered Dwyer to release en- bargo. See him."
 The strikers did not keep their stip- ulations.

The Seals AreN,aomea


The annual report Of the governor Of

that far corner Of the continent. The
work Of the missionaries is praised and
the general condition of the Indians is
said to have improved. Crime is less
frequent, and the law better enforced.
The mining and limb r industries are
prospering.

effect that 40 vessels Iere q Behring

He also stated that II per cent Of these

destructive marauding is allowed to con-

the seal rookeries Of Alaska will be en-

Feeding Young Oysters.

Mr.. Charles P Sigerfoos, of the
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore,
who, last summer, conducted expert
ments in oyster culture at Beaufort,
N. c., under the directions Of Prof. W.
X. Brooks, tells of the experiment,
which demonstrated that young oysters
could be fed artifeially. 1T has for
some time been known says Mr.. Sig
erfoos, that the food Of the oyster is
purely vegetable. The only difficulty
was to fad something of vegetable ma
ture minute enough to be eaten by the
Young oysters when but a few day. old.
The egg of the oyster is exceedingly
small; 30 small, in fact, thatit can bare
ly be seen with the naked eye. In a
season an oyster is sugpos lay sew

would be sufficiently nj mute for the
young oysters, We took the leaves of the
sea lettuce and crushed it as fine as pos
sible, and put it into the aquarium. On
this the oysters seemed to thrive, and
we watched their growth for eighteen
days. They grew much faster than
they would if left to themselves in the

the oyster is Matched, it floats around in
