THE appointments made by the
Street and Water Board yesterday
were of the most noxious partisan
kind. They turned out thirty-four
democrats, some of whom had excel
lent records, and put in thirty-flve re-
publicans, some of whom had very
bad records. Among the appoint
ments made is that Of Henry c.
Gruber. This man is a professional
labor agitator. His political record is
anything but admirable. 1t is ex-
ceedingly doubtful whether he is cap
able of performing the duties of a
clerk. He is naturally gifted with fair
intelligence, but it cannot be claimed
that he has any clerical education or
any special fitness or training for such
work. A distinctly unsavory APP
pointment is that of G.. Frank Suther-
land. There is not a politician in the
city who does not know that this man
is totally unfit for public employ
ment. He is a sort of blatant, dema-
goyic, overflow meeting campaign
speaker of much utility to the GO P.
He works hard every caInaign and is
or ought to be we'll paid for the ear
and tear of his lungs, by the campaign
managers. But it is notorious that
his personal character in more than
one respect makes it an outrage upon
respectable citizens that he should be
given a public office and paid with
public money.

The Needs of the Schools.

The recital given by Superintend-
of the schools, as published in The
NEWS of yesterday, is not a little dis
couraging. 1t shows the need of an
exceedingly large outlay to bring the
accommodations up to the present
requirements of the eity's popula-
ton. As Mr.. Snyder summarizes
them, the needs of the urgent present
are as follows:-
Additional room for 1900 children at least.
Anew building in place of Mo- l.
A new building in place of Nos. II and 10.
Anew High School building.
The substitution ofdesks for all settees.
Much new furniture to replace that which is old
and worn out.
These things would cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 to supply,
and then the additional cost of main
tanning the increased staff of teachers
would be a constant burden on the
city. This is how we figure out the
first cost
Four new schools to accommodate about 600
children each, at $4,000 each.
New bnilding in place OF No. /. to accommo-
aatp / an scholars eincreaseof about al0)... $1,000
New building in plae&of Nos. II and ~, to ac-
commodate about so pupils increase of
aboat 4gD. $500
New High School building. S,0U
New furniture, proposed substitution of
desks, and replacement of old furniture. 290W
Tota, $4,000
1t is probable that about $50, O00 Will
be the amount actually available this
wear for the extension of the school
system. This is the share of the license
money applicable to the construction
of new schools.
As we opened by remarkiag, the
outlook is rather blue.

mates. Tne average stature or boys
of different classes of the communi-
ty varies between the best nurtured
boys in our public schools and the
worst nurtured class in our indus
trial schools to the extent of about
seven inches in boys of the age of IA
years.
A fact of rather peculiar nature
has also been brought to light by an
thropometry- that girls
from IL to IA years are taller and
heavier than boys of corresponding
ages. The average height of Scotch
agricultural laborers Galloway is 5
feet 10.5 inches; fellows of the Royal
society, 5 feet 9.76 inches; athletes, 5
feet S34 inches; lunatics, feet $40
inches; criminals, feet $50 inches;
Herefordshire laborers, feet 5.35
inches and idiots and imbeciles feet
asa inches. When compared with
the general population, lunatics show
a deficiency of nearly two inches in
stature and 10 pounds in weight,
while criminals are two inches short
er and Is pounds lighter, besides
showing marked deficiency of
physical as well as mental stamina.

A Nest Building Fish.

One of the queerest denizens of the
deep, and one which could very prop
erly be called an archaeological won
der, is the gouramis, the famous nest
building fish of the oriental seas.
These fish are very plentiful in the
waters of Cochin China, Java, Su-
matra and Borneo. At the breeding
they pair off like birds, and selecting
a favorable spot in shallow water
among aquatic plants and grasses
build large spherical nests of floating
weeds and plaster them over with
mud. The broad, flat fins used in
this last operation are attached to
the abdomen and are wholly different
from anything in the fin line known
to naturalists. The full grown fe-
male gouramis is feet long and
weighs 110 pounds. The eggs of this
queer fish, which are deposited in the
mud plastered nest, number from 500
to 1,00O.-St. Louis Republic.

INTELLECT AND STATURE.

Criminals and Lunatics Have Less Than
Average Height and Weight.
The influence of different Occupa-
tions ON adults, of town and country
life, of intellectual and physical exer-
cises and of athletics is well brought
out by anthropometric inquiry.
Measurements extending over %
successive years have been made at
the school of the Society of Friends
at York. Friends are largely COM
mercial and therefore a town dwell
ing class, and yet there is a slight
improvement shown in stature and a
very decided improvement shown in
weight in the boys attending this
school in later years. The beneficial
action of the factory acts, of higher
wages, cheaper and better food and
clothing and improved sanitary sur
roundings of the working classes in
recent years, is brought out by the
measurements.
On the other hand, observations
show that school life under favor
able conditions impedes the physical
development of the children, and
this is most marked in charity
schools. Measurements made at the
Duke of York's school at Chelsea
show that the children who are the
sons of soldiers, and therefore of a
class selected for physical fitness,
were until recently very inferior in
stature and weight to boys of their
own class living in their own homes.
A similar falling off has prevailed at
the Blue Coat school among boys be-
longing to a higher class of society
in consequence of bad sanitary ar
rangements and probable faults in
the feeding and discipline of the in

McManus, a brakeman, shot and killed
his wife and then cut his own throat.
The killing is thought to he the result
of a quarrel. McManas was out of
employment and his enforced idIeness
may have had something to do with
the unfortunate affair.
Wolves got into the sheds IN a cove
where a band of 5000 sheep of the
Lake Basin company we're herded
about two weeks ago, and caused
pile up which resulted disastrously.
Nearly 400 sheep were smothered dur

further end OF the sheds piling one on
top of the other until they reached the
roof.
Advance sheets of the programs of
races for the Montana circuit for the
1894 season have been received. The
dates of the circuit will be: Great
Falls, July 2 to Z; Missoula, July IL
to IA; Anaconda, July 16 to %;
Butte, Aug. to %; Helena, Aug. 25
to Sept. L; Bozeman. Sept. 3 to 8;
Billings, Sept. Is to 21. Stakes close
April 10. Entries for trotting and
pacing purses close July L. The gen.
eral conditions for the circuit require
four or more to enter and three to
start in running races, and five to en-
ter and four to start in trotting and
pacing races. Five or more entries
will be required to fill colt stakes.
Running purses and stakes will be di-
vided into three moneys-7O, 20 and
10 per cent. Pacing and trotting
purses and stakes will be divided into
so, 20, 15 and 10 per cent. As in the
past, the association desires to act
literally, and in the event of any races
not filling will substitute others, and
horses attending the meetings for
which there are no suitable classes will
have such racing opportunities pro-
vided for them as time will warrant.
Besides the regular races, Anaconda
and Butte reserves $4,000 for spe-
cials- The distance between points on
the Montana circuit are short, and
the railroads are expected to make
rates that will secure a large attend

Sechet's shrine was at the once ia
nous city of Bubastis. Hither an
average of 700, 900 devotees resorted
annually, each district delegation
taking all the dead cats which had
quilted the sphere of action" in
their respective localities during the
year. These dead cats, all of which
were carefully wrapped and embalm-
ed, We're buried at the celebrated
''cat cemetery" on the plains of Ia
kazik, that being the place where the
image of Sechet was set up. One of

MKINLEY AT MINNEAPOLIS.
The Great Protectionist Receives a Royal
Welcome in the Northwest.

MINNEAPoLIs, March 2S.-Gov. VIM.
Mckinley and party reached Mime
apolis from Chicago this morning
They were met by 600 students of the
state university and the university
Republican club. The party was es-
corted to the West hotel, where 4 900
people had assembled. The governors
reception at the hotel was only such
as 1000 strong northwestern throats
could give. He directed his remarks
particularly to the students, declar-
ing it was o the young men OF the coun-
try that all parties must look. Dur
ing the address he declared the people
of the country never wanted to vote
in all their history as they did now.
Later the governor was driven to
the exposition building, where the
state league or Republican clubs was
in session. There he made another
address, in which he said nobody
could tell what would happen, and
nobody knew what the Democratic
congress would do. Later in the day
he made addresses to the pupils OF the
Central high school and several state
institutions. In the evening he was
escorted to the exposition building,
which was packed to overflowing with
people from all parts OF the northwest,
to hear the leading addresses OF the
day. Gov. Mckinley made a stirring
address, which in its main points did
not differ from speeches made earlier
in the day.

follows:
"In pursuance of law and custom, /
hereby designate Tuesday, April 18th,

by law to that noble purpose. The
injunction to plant trees applies with
special force in this state, and trust

lie schools will take place on that oc-
casion, to the end that the best results

A TARIFF ON WOOL.
Its Justice and Necessity Shown to the Sem
ate Finance Committee.

Washington Post: A very interest
ing, comprehensive and important re-
view of the wool Industry, with refer
ence to the necessity for tariff upon
raw wool, has been submitted to the
senate finance committee by Senators
Power, Shoup, OF Idaho, and Roach,
of North Dakota. The statement
shows that the sheep industry is car
ried on in every state of the union,
with an invested capital of over $780,,
600, 900, yielding an annual product
of over S75, 900, 900, affording direct
employment to over 100000 people,
and directly supporting more than
100000 people. The industry was
developing at a remarkable rate so
that it was expected in nine years the
product OF wool would be doubled, a
result that would furnish the material
to American manufacturers to make
the goods to supply the American de-
mand, furnish employment to a large
number of people and prevent the i'm
portation annually OF $4,000, 900
worth of wooden goods which can all
be made in this country. 1.-The fear
that free wool would become a fact
has caused a depreciation in value
since April last" says the memorial,
Sin the sheep industry alone OF more
than one hundred million dollars, and
should it become a law, the prospect
is that it would ruin the industry, so
far as the raising of Merino sheep in
this country is concerned. Whereas,
on the other hand, should congress
see fit to defeat such free wool measure
and grant some revenue from import
ed wool, the value OF the industry in
this country would be enhanced in
demanded from importations.
After discussing at length the prod
net of the world and giving many in
terestIng details, the memorial shows
that free wool is admirable for non-
producing country. With the United
State, however, the conditions are
different, and it is argued that the in
dustry should be guarded until sur
plus is produced. The raising OF wool
requires three years of careful work
when once abandoned requires years
to regain it's foothood. The wool
growers look for a continuance, the
memorial asserts, of the care which
the United States has afforded them
in the past, especially when they see
that nearly every other agricultural
product is on the dutiable list.
