CIRCULAR LETTER TO TEACHERS.
BRooKHAvEN, Miss. Feb 10 1905

| bRooKHAvES, MISS, Feb. 10, 1895.
The many contentious arising from
the exempt on clause" of section 4Oae
OF the school law, are finally put To
rest by recent decision of the Su.
preme Court, etc. This decision over.
rules the construction placed upon the
exemption clause by the Board of Ed
ucation, and reverses the decision of
one of the Circuit Judges, who by man.
damus compelled the issuance of H.
censes to certain teachers who had
taught five years in various counties.
The provision contained in section 4O26.
by which teacher who has taught five
years under first grade license is de-
clared to be exempt from further ex-
animation, is prospective in operation,
and applies only to teachers passing
the examination on the curriculum
prescribed in the Code and obtaining
first grade licenses. The curriculum
OF former laws is not that pre-
scribed in the Code, and teacher
holding an old first grade license might
be unable to give instruction in the
course Of studies named in the Code.
Since November, 1892, the History of
Mississippi and Civil Government have
been added to the curriculum; which
In the very nature of things, make Sec
ton 4O26 prospective and applies to
teachers holding first grade licenses
issued after successful examination on
the Code curriculum, and to teachers
who have taught five years under a
first grade since November 1892.
Now, therefore, all licenses hereto
fore extended lin Lincoln county, un-
der the exemption clause cannot and
will not be recognized as legal beyond
the first April examination.
All teachers holding such Licenses
are hereby Retihed that pay certificates
cannot be issued to teachers after the
first April examination unless such
teachers are examined and licensed
anew. j, NJ, GIRAVIF,

I5NOOURltGING.

Tn these times it is hard to tell what a day may bring forth in New Haven politics, and as for what night may bring forth there is no use trying to tell. Last night brought forth John Clancey for Police commissioner and a most astonishing bringing forth 1t was. After "the better element" in the Dem ocratic party and "the best element" in New Haven, namely, the Goo Goo ele- ment, had been fighting Gilhuly for weeks they found last night that all they had succeeded in doing was to make the calling of his rival, Clancy, sure. They have got him called, and whether or not they will be able to elect him remains to be seen. His nomina- tion was a famous victory.
 The situation is very encouraging for the Republicans, even if the Goo Coos and "the better element" in the Demo- cratic party should conclude that Clan cey & Co., are to be preferred to "the Republican ring" The plain people, the element" that is most to be relied on for sound and sensible action, are wide awake to what Is gong on, and they are feeling as Independent as "the Spirit of '76." They will vote as they please, and their voting may be as sur prising as some other things have been. The situation is d good one. Let every man vote as he thinks best, and let every man heartily resent all bossism and political humbug, whatever and however it may be labeled,

 A MISTAKE OF TEDDY'S.
 "It's hard lines, Teddy" said grand father in his thin, cracked, but still cheery voice, hard lines when you and can't have turkey for Thanksgiv- ing"
 Teddy nodded The case was so seri- ous that he had not the heart to dis cuss it.
 Not even chicken" grandfather went on, "nor pudding. We never were quite so badly off before. But, sonny, when get that clock done I'll have some money. Seventy-five cents that jobs worth, and, let me see, Ted dy,'-the old voice went quivering on ''I'n get some wood, and mebby pan O beans at the bakery. And we'll have 'em hot for dinner. And perhaps I'll get a little coffee. How'd cup of cof- fee taste, hey, Teddy?'
 H. ST fled lovingly on the forlorn- looking little fellow, but won no smile in return.
 The boy stood by the window, looking town into the narrow street through which, in the gathering darkness. the workers from a great factory close by were hurrying home. They'll all have Thanksgiving dinners" he thought. They work and earn money. But Pm uch little 1oy-aud Cra adfathers so old-and don't know what we're going to do." He leaned his elbows on the sill, dropped his head upon his hands, and great tears gathered in his eyes. The little room was quite dark.
 Come here, Teddy" said his grand father. 'fSet on my knee a little while. Guess you ain't too big, are you? There -there-grandpa's little. comfort" and the knotted, trembling hand tenderly stroked the bright head pressed so close against the hollow of his shoulder. Ted dy with difficulty re2ressed a sob. Life looked very dreary just then. He put his arms around the old mans neck and chung closer still.
 "Am I ylTr comfort?" he asked.
 You're the joy of my life, Teddgw
 'T wish were a big boy" said Ted dy. "I wish I were a man-this min ute. I want to work, so much-but everywhere go they tell me I'm too little" And at the thought of this grievance his tears flowed afresh.
 You're growing bigger every day" said the old man, soothingly. And you're such a help to me. Why, you earned ten cents to-dayp'
 T want to earn" said Ted, reflective ly, "to earn-at least-five dollars a week~ He paused, for the magnitude of the sum held him breathless.
 "So you shall, bub, and pretty soon, too. Just get a little older and a little bigger, and have a little more school | ing. and then we'll roll in plenty, won't we?" chuckled the grandfather So the two sat together in the shad- ows. comforting and being comforted Both were but ehildren-one near the end of long and toilsome journey, the other already bruising babyish feet

-------------------------- SELFISH NleSS EXPOSED.

It beats all how selfish some folks are. Here is the American Economist complaining that during the first nine months of this year our imports of dutiable goods were $110, ,46S, ,966 greater than during the corresponding months of 1894. And it adds: The bulk Of these goods was such as can be made in our owm factories. Instead, they were made in foreign factories. Work that should have been done by Amer joan labor, was done by foreign labor. Wages, that should have been paid to Americans, were paid to foreigners Assuming that only half the value of these goods represents their labor cost, then American labor has lost upwards of 5,0o0,0 900 in nine months of this year.
 The American Economist man must be a Republican. No good Democrat would find fault because we have been and are helping other countries at the expense of our own It is a very generous and noble thing to do. Of course it is hard for those in this country whose work and wages are lessened by the Golden Rule policy, but they can have the sweet satisfac- tion of knowing that what is their loss is the foreigners gain. And if they can't feel a sweet satisfaction in that knowledge it is because they are too selfish, and unfit to belong to the party whose head and tail the godliRe Cleveland is, and whose glori- ous policy is the Golden Rule.

placed on the shoulders and back of the very bestest," it would be belittling it to call it anything but a gown, is made pale rose pink crepon de laine. It Is cut in one and arranged i'm shallow box pleats in back and front. It buttons in- visibly in back and is cut down little at the neck, where it is trimmed with a full lace ruff1e, which forms the only garniture. Its sleeves are double puffed of crepon, ending in long pink satin cuffs, finished with wide muslin bands on the inside, which can be taken out and washed when soiled, The lining may be a wash silk of a shade to match the outside. Both dresses should be made with a. wide hem at the bottom, which can be let out as the wearer's growth makes 1t desirable.
 The sight of a wee chick gotten up in garments that copy the styles for wo- men closely is usually enough to prove that this copying cannot be close with out seeming the reverse of tasteful. But mothers frequently forget this In their desire to have their children make the best possible appearance, and re- cent evidence of such Expenditures comes in dressing tiny girls hair after the pornpadour fashion. This arrange ment of the hair Is so trying to every one that it Is very rarely that a woman looks at her best in it. For small child it is fairly hideous. They might almost as we'll have uncombed locks, and the half tousled hair of these two posers is far preferable.

 THE CRIPPLE CREEK CRAZE.


 Those in this neighborhood who have money to burn may soon have a con- venient chance to throw some of it into the wild blaze of the Cripple Creek craze. The craze is travelling eastward The Denver papers report daily the number of new companies organized and say that the mails from the east are loaded with orders to stock brokers Chicago and many interior towns in Indiana and Ohio are already buying freely, and brokers of the New York board are advising their Denver cor respondents to get some of their stocks listed in the former city as soon as possible. One New York broker wrote that he thought eastern spectators would be more excited over Cripple Creek stocks than the people of Colo rado are.
 If the craze strikes New Haven we suppose it will work here just as other similar crazes have worked here. But before it comes it will be well for those liable to be affected by it to train themselves to be as sensible as possible It will pay them to listen to such words of wisdom as those spoken by MT. Coll bran, the presidents of the railroad which will soon connect Cripple Creek with the rest Of the world. He says: As to stock speculation you cannot warn the public enough. So many schemers will try to float through on the tide of Cripple Creeks progress that the public should be very cautious about investing in Cripple Creek stocks. Some stocks will undoubtedly pay a handsome profit, and some will become great dividend payers. but very many will never succeed. Nothing but per sonal examinat tion will make stock in- vestments reasonably secure, and not always then.
 Many people in this city have collec- tions of beautifully printed mining stocks on which they have paid "assess- ment dividends" Those who have such collections may proftably take another look at them now, and thus guard them selves against any new investment of the same kind. Those who haven't such collections should thank their stars and guard themselves against wanting any. And those who cannot prevent themselves from wanting them should ask their friends to tie them up until all danger is past.

It Is cut down slightly at the neck, but this may be omitted, how ever and the stuff be finished with a plain marrow band to which the lace ruffle is sewed, The sleeves are tiny puffs of the dress goods, with the lace falling over them.

A correspondent of the London Chron- acle draws vivid picture of the rotten Turkish administration. He says: There is Council Of Mlnisters-they are puppets. There is Grand Vizier- he is the mouthpiece of his masters whims Every single matter, down to the most trifing-a squabble in coffee house, for example-goes before the Sultan personally. Every appointment is made and unmade by him. The Min ister of Police is his chief spy and tor turer. The Minister of Marine is his ally in colossal peculation. The Min lister of the Interior is perforce his means as securing as his own property the richest lands of the empire, and thus robbing the state of their returns in taxes. Except himself, nobody has any authority, nobody has any rights, nobody can perform any Of the duties of his position, nobodys liberty and life are safe for an hour. And the rotten hole is oamented together by one huge and all embracing system of espoinage. Everybody suspects everybody else of being spy, and Turk hardly ventures to express a thought to Turk. Not one Minister can call upon another without the fact being reported to the palace. The best men are in exile. He says that sn all Constantinople there is but one
