DALLAS LETTER.
From Our Own Special Correspondent
DALLAS, Tex, April, II, 1895.

A gOOQlN mum DER OF ldules, pIIu-
Cipally those belonging to the w.
c. Il. t., were present at the in.
stallation OF Mayor Holland Mon
day. Some way, those who favored
one OF the other candidates took it
into their heads that Mr.. Holland
would be inclined TO favor the sa-
loon element. These good people
need not be alarmed; for, while
Mayor Holland does not claim to
be total abstinence man, he will
not favor anything of an immoral
character. Mr.. Holland will make
an all-round good mayor, and no
one need poster herself or himself
as to the good morals OF our town,
while he is mayor; besides, Mr..
Holland says the mayor pro tenn
will draw the better part OF his
salary. The mayor pro tenn Is D..
c. Woodside.
DR.. Arch Cochran was mayor
pro TEN, while Mr.. Barry was
mayor. The doctor worked hard
for the present mayors election,
but he did not get to be mayor
pro tenn. The alta BILE doctor pre-
scented the following resolution
which was unanimously adopted:
"Resolved, That we extend our
sincere thanks to the Hon. Bryan
Il. Barry, the retiring mayor, for
the able and impartial manner in
which he has presided over this
Council, together with all retiring
aldermen, and we assure them of
our best wishes"
The outgoing as we'll as the in
coming mayor was the recipient of
many beautiful flowers from their
respective admirers.
Just after the Introduction into
office of Mayor Holland and the
three newly elected members Of
the council, the old school board
went out and the new came in.
The school board was raped to
order by the mayor, and proceeded
at once to business. From the
way the wind is blowing the teach
ers may look for a reduction in
their salaries.
At this board meeting the me M
bers said, Notwithstanding the
fact that the teachers salaries have
been reduced from 10 to - per cent
at the beginning Of the past two
terms, it will still require
rigid economy to meet prompt
payments in the future on
account of the great reduction of
the state school fund. 1t will be
necessary at the close OF this year
to repair several OF the school
buildings, and provide additional
room for both white and colOred
children in some wards"
Speaking of teachers and salaries
OF same brings to mind an Incl.
dent, which in view of further re-
duction in their ways, your cor
respondent will relate.
A young teacher in speaking Of
a certain literary aspirant said
'she is woman much admire"
GlanCing around the room, she
quickly added perhaps l should
have said lady" but some how /
like the word woman better,
especially since their are so many
sales ladies and so on"
The woman teacher will become
lady teachers when their wages
are reduced to about the meagre
sum the poor hard working clerks
receive. The woman teacher and
the shop girl give will then be in
the same social scale, The Column
bian public school, which was clos
ed on account of smallpox
being in the janitOrs family,
was reopened yesterday. The
teachers protested against being
dOcked their salaries for
the time, but on account
Of the depleted treasury, the board
could not see it, to pay when they
did no teach. 1t is said the teach
ers will take legal steps to get their
money.
A few nights ago, at the grOOm's
sister-in-law, Mrs. w. F. Walter,
Mr.. j. c. McNealus and Mrs. Nir-
ginia COTE were married. Mr.. Nc
Nealu5 is well known newspaper
man throughout Texas. The bride

society column in the Times Her

which was witnessed by the i'm.
mediate families Of the contracting
parties, the newly married pair
were driven to the home OF the
bride where repast was served.
The Dallas Pastors association
