size. The size of this building is &c feet
front, IS feet deep, with slate roof, built
thoroughly substantial, floors lined and
deadened, wainscoted olassrooms and halls,
patent blackboards in the classrooms,
adamant finished walls.
Such building ought to be erected for

average per pupil when rock bottom is
reached about 50. It will cost SIS each
room for teachers desks and chairs, SO a
window for suitable window shades; the
furniture for the principals room, $50.
These items would enable any one to figure
on requirements outside of the building.
The arrangement of this plan is such
that at any future time two moro rooms
can be built on the rear, making a four

and it is only a question of time when
more room is needed.
In every case of this nature plenty of

One Paper Suggests a Vote of Censure
Against Salisbury.
ST.. PETERSBURG, Dec. 21.-The
Novoe Vremya says: eff it comes to
a war between Great Britain and the
United States the former will have to
encounter internal as well as foreign
foes, for the Irish are not likely to
look on passively at such conflict.
In that event England's affairs in Tur-
key and the far East will not wear SO
favorable an aspect, and there would
come the hour of bitter retribution
for the past upon which Englishmen
pride themselves, forgetting that sue
cess gained by. guilt and force are
never enduring"
The Boerse Gazette remarks: '"The
one honorable means for England to
extricate herself from this affair is
vote of censure against the Marquis of
Salisbury, and a new Cabinet might be
able to rectify the blunders of its pred
ecessors. y

WHAT WILL BE DONE.

Congress Not Likely to Take q Holiday
Recess-senators Confer With Reed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-The Presi-
dents anti-recess message took both
houses of Congress by surprise. It
produced a number of conferences last
night, the result of which will prob
ably be a complete change of plans
for holiday recess, and the inaugur-
alton of the real work of the session
two or three weeks in advance of the
time when it would have begun but
for the message.
The House conference took place at
Speaker Reeds hotel, and was partici-
pated in by Messrs. Dingley, Cannon
and other leaders. While no definite
line of action was talked of, the Re-
publican leaders generally conceded
that whatever legislation is adopted,
if any, in response to the Presidents
message. must necessary be a tenn
porary plan. To take up any cOmpre-
hensive scheme to reform the currency
or banking system at this particular
time was pronounced wholly imprac-
tica BILE.
One of the leaders who was in con-
ference with Mr.. Reed outlined, as a
probable line of action to be proposed
in the House, the issuance of short
term certificates of Indebtedness or
bonds to maintain the gold reserve,
with a possible advance of tariff rates
in certain schedules, sufficient to bring
the revenue up to the expenses of the
government. The talk in the speak
er's room did not, however, extend to
the plans which the House might
adopt
Grave fears were expressed by House
members of both parties that the Sen
ate might refuse to accept any bond
plan. The popular loan plan was the
most talked of by Republicans, and
beth Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Dalzell, mem
bers of the last ways and means COM
mittee, advocated it. Mr.. Payne
favored the plan proposed in the last
Congress by Mr.. Reed, short term, low
interest, small denomination bonds to
be sold to the people, one class to
make up the deficiency and another to
sustain the gold reserve.

CAUSE FOR THE MESSAGE.
Wall Street Panicky and a Big Slump
In International Stocks.

In International Stocks.
New YORK, Dec. ely esterday was
day of excitement on Wall street,
and matters for time bore the re-
semblance of q panic. But this condi-
ton of affairs had not been unexpect-
ed, and, in measure, the dealers had
prepared themselves. Before the
opening of business on the Stock ex-
change, it was announced that So, 400
900 in gold would be sent out of the
country, and later in the day the ex-
port of 5000, 900 was announced. This
together with the cable advices from
London announcing extensive sales of
American securities, and the tenor of
the war news from all quarters, was
responsible for the general feeling of
uneasiness that prevailed even early
in the day.
AS result of the decline in stocks,
the failure of the following firms was
during the day: Nichols, Frothing-
ham & Co.; Samuel S. Sands & Co., De
Neufville & Co., L A. Feldman and
B. Fenton.
With the fall in prices, the banks
called in all their loans, thus add
ing to the mplications of the
situation. Much money was loaned
at very high interest to carry
stocks, and in many instances renew
ais would be made under no conditions
whatever AS the selling movement
continued right up to the closing hour,
with the slight and momentary re-
actions, the effect was demoralizing in
the extreme. Money was loaned on
call late in the afternoon at as high as
80 per cent, and most loans were
marked up to Is FER cent by the banks.

OLD BENEFITS GRIZZLY.
He Shot 1t Clean Through the Head
With His Ramrod.

With His Ramrod.
Old Bennett, in his comfortable
ranch house on the site of old Fort
Ross, at the mouth of the Russian
river, California, has a trophy of the
chase which he delights to show to
visitors. 1t consists of grizzly
bears head so big and heavy that two
men can scarcely lift it, also pads nine
inches wide and fifteen inches long.
There is a story connected with this
trophy which old Bennett delights to
tell, says the Chicago Times. Years
ago he served under Sam Houston in
the Lone Star state, drifting out to
California later on, and was the COM
panion of Pioneer Suffer when gold
nuggets were discovered and the East
was attacked by the gold fever which
even yet turks in the veins of many
who came to the Pacific coast in '49.
Bennett soon abandoned mining for
ranching, and secured his present
beautiful home.
California was a wild country when
Bennett built hisranchhouse. Grizzly
bears abounded then, as they abound
now. Then they were less hunted
and holder than at present. Bennett
was poor. Accompanied by his In
dian rancheria, he would hunt eagles
for their feathers, which he sold to
Indians for ornaments. While in the
underbrush of creek bottom, he had
just shot an eagle and was reloading
his rife. By chance he did thing
which was very unusual for this vet
eran hunter. He capped the piece be-
fore loading it, The rife was charged
with powder, and, as Bennett was
ramming home the bullet, the rustic
of the bushes startled him. There
was not second to lose Twenty
PAGES off was a monstrous grizzly,
charging directly at him. Without
withdrawing the ramrod or aiming
carefully, Bennett made snap shot
right in the face of the savage beast.
When he regained consciousness
he found two Indian rancherias
pulling the carcass of the dead
bear away from him. Then
he realized his narrow escape from
death. Gaping his rife before load
ing it had saved his life. 1t seemed
providential that the one vulnerable
point in the grizzly bear had been hit.
That point was the BEARS eye. The
ramrod, when fired from the gun,
struck the pupil of the eye at right
angles and penetrated the brain. The
impetus of the bear was such that the
dead body struck the hunter before it's
motion ceased with such terrific force
as to make him unconscious. The
bear weighed 1000 pounds. Its brain
was not larger than a mans fist. The
bone surrounding this brain was five
inches thick. The distance between
the eyes was ten inches. Bennett de-
clares that this is the largest grizzly
ever killed on the Pacific coast. if not
on this continent. Any one who sees
the great head and 9x15 feet of the
bear must admit that Bennett has fair
proof of his claim of bear bigness.
The claws alone are ten inches long,
although a portion of the nails was
imbedded in the flesh.

Was he'd Her Feet.

An old fisherman in Nartle, Devon,
made it one of the chief ends of his
life to keep his boat immaculate. On
one occasion a gentleman had hired
him to take himself and young lady
out for an afternoons fishing. The
boat could not be brought near enough
to the shore for them to step in; so
the old sailor removed his shoes and
stockings, and taking the young lady
in his arms, was about to deposit her
on board, when he caught sight of
some mud on her pretty boots. In
stantly he stopped and dipped both
her feet up to the ankles in the sea,
padding them back and forward to
remove the mud, in spite of the pro-
tests of the owner. His only remark,
as he finally put her on board, was:
"Bless yer, miss, salt water won't
give yer the snuffies. "-Argonaut.

Rice Bread.

Rice bread is a dainty that the
South learned of the Indians. The
grain is ground into flour, which is
baked like wheaton bread. 1t is ex-
ceedingly light and makes breakfast
luxury when served hot with butter.
1t may be made into large loaves and
cut into slices. 1t is deemed unfit to
eat when cold, but may then be made
into soup by boiling it with chicken.
The Indians lightened the rice bread
by mixing in hot water, but yeast may
be used as a leaven.
