Why the Board of Educa, ton Should Ask the City to Pay a Portion of Our City axes

More thun once We have had occasion to call the attention of members of the Board of Education to the fact that the c1lldrru from tho High school are constantly using our big grounds, on East Main street, for N playground We think it Is A just GTiev- ance. and respectfully ask them to con- slider the matter at their next meeting. It iS damaging to our business. a~ people from out of town think that our big build ing k either n college or q high scLonl, when they see the chIldreu playing on the grounds every day. Were 1t not for the magnificent display of Furniture. Carpets. etc, that We keep in our window, the peo pIe would be still more puzzled l. is painfully true that the fem lle p,rtlon of the teachers do not take Einily to mar riage yet It 1, just As natural for thrm to drop into our biz wareroomS to S-e :hnse SIu.tA SideboardS or SIS uO solid oak suits. as if they were to be married the next dly. Of course We accord them the una ch lrm- ing courtesy as If our dreams ot the future were fill d with Baby Carriages and Cradles, which are now ranging from Sl p to 5 jO and up. But speaking ot dreams reminds Us of the story of n gentleman whose blessed wife WAS a school teacher. She was so accuStomrd 10 '.clll- ing the boys down" that she W@uli get up in her sleep, and in a loud voice HNclA'm: ''Win you behave yourself. sir. and mind your lesson" He used to SAY that this was the only unpleasant feature about his married life. The pISt few days have been so fine that 1t has taxed our working force to their fullest capacity to take care of the trade We have bought our goods at such low figure this spring that every article in our several lines k a bargain. Don't fail to visit us, wheth,r you are ready to buy or not.

FRESH FROM ERIN.
Four Hundred IriSi, Servant Girls Arrive a
 New York.

NEW YORK, April 5.-Thc White Star liner Tcutonic, from Liverpool. brought in her stcrrage 974 .pasScngcrS. of whom 100 were rcd checked, round armed, will ing fingered girls from Ireland. Think of 100 young women, all unslloilod by tho American idea of democracy, eagerly waiting for you to take them homo and teach them at wages of $lO a month how to go out and demand Sl4! Of this num- Der 800 wore claimed by friends or rola- tivcs and taken away, but 100 wont straight to the Home For Immigrant Girls at State street
 A few years ago tho arrival of 400 Irish cullcrnS in n bunch would have excited no comment brcauso the emigration from tho Emerald isle to this country reached tho average figuro of 5O, 900 year But now, when tho annual figures touch less than 2O. 600 and tho famine in tho servant girl market is hoc"ming a national calamity, the arrival of so many future dumCSticS is an event woll worthy of note.
 Father Callahan kindly gavo some fig urcs on the imported servant girl. lIo said that the great majority Camu from the counties of CSrk and korry. For in stance, in lSa4 thoso counties gave Amer ica 300 girls each. Tippcrary sent 100, Mayo and Galway 12O each. Cavan 66 and SlAfc 1u.
 "Wo have comparatively little work, " said he. "to do nowadays compared with what we did few years ago, Then on every steamer we would find from 20 to 50 girls who had como hero on thcir own accounts who had not friends hero and no clear idea of what they were to do or where thoy wore to go. Now it is seldom that We find moro than one girl in n ship load who has not been brought over by money sent from this side. Our Caro now is mainly to keep them in our homo here until their people call. Those who want to stay in New York we find places for, and wo wish wo could keep up With tho demand for them.
 ''~ingularly enough. not moro than p per cent of thcSo girls stay in New York. | New England takes the greater portion of them. and We find that many of these | girls leave thcir places as IumostiCS to go into thr mills and factories, where they can make more money and ho indCpend | Cnt -
