SLAUGHTER OF SEALS.
Noticeable Decreasc in the Herds Is
Reported by Capt. Hooper.


Washington, June 16. - Capt. Hoop
or. in command of the cutter fleet in
the Boring sea, has reported to the
treasury department that bis Observa-
tons south of Unalaska convince him
that the seal herds moving north are
far less numerous than formerly. This
scarcity. it is believed, is entirely due
I o the indiscriminate slaughter of the
last two or three years. While pa
trolling the waters of the North Pa
ciic Capt. Hooper has boarded and
searched a number of sealers, both
Canadian and American, but there
was no evidence of unlawful killing,
and hence they were allowed to pro-
coed. In cas- Capt. Hooper's observa-
tons in the open sea hold good at the
islands. it is very probable that the
maximum catch of the North Ameri-
car Commercial company will be ma
terially reduced wen FOR the last year.
when it reached only about 1900
skins.

RELIGION IN SCHOOLS.
Deposition of Roman
Teachers Is Protested Against.

Kansas City, June l6.-The follow
ing resolutions were adopted at a mass
meeting in Kansas City, Kan, TO pro-
test against the action of the school
board in depOsing Roman Catholic
teachers:
whereas. a. majority of the school
board of Kansas City, Kan, have al
lowed p~artisanship and sectarianism
to govern their actions in excluding
competent teachers from our public
schools because of their religious
views: and, whereas, cur public
schools should be free from PARTISAN
ship and sectarianism, for the reason
that the same are antagOniStic to
American institutions. and for the fur
ther reason that said schools are main
tanned by the taxation of the whole
people Of all parties and sccts; there
fore. be it resolved. that we, the citi-
ZenS of Kansas City. Kan, in mass
meeting here assembled, irrespective
of party or religious predictions,
condemn this act of said members of
our school board as un-American,
retrogressire aud detrimental to the
future prosperity of our rising young

A funeral party in one Of Pittsburg's
suburbs found itself in a queer predic-
ament a few days ago. A man died at
Center Station, on the Allegheny Val
ley railway, and it was arranged to

es on the morning train. On their ar

church where the services were to be
held, and then 1t was discovered that
the corpse had been left behind at
Center Station. The undertaken drove
across the country for the body, and

ter the time originally set for the

dor the will or under the law, as such II
proceeding would he contrary to public
policy. Under the law, had there been
no Will and no complications connecting
him with her death, Colin would inherit

In the probate court Monday an order
was made continuing James II. Pruett as
