$500 or $1,000
The commissioners will hold their regular
monthly meeting tomorrow afternoon. All
tho members of the board are in the city

Importance to be transacted, and 1t would
be a good time for the commissioners to
take up the matter of the presentments
from the superior court grand jury of the
March term, which contains a number Of
very important recommendations to which
so far no attention has been given.
BY the way, there has been some desul-
tory talk about the coroners physician
provided for by law in all counties of more
than 1000 inhabitants. The grand Jury
recommended the appointment of such a
physician about year and half ago. and
the commissioners decided to hold a com
petitive examination shortly after that
time, and even went so far as to fix the
salary and appoint a committee to conduct
the examination, but the examination has
never been held.

ed In four days law suit, In which
legal talent Of Winnipeg took hand.
The school board consisted CT six trus.
tees, four of Emerson proper and two
representing the West Lynne side.
Emerson had II graded school Of three
departments, while West Lynne, has
only one teacher. At the last meet
ing of the directors the two west side
members were absent, and the board
voted to close the West Lynne school
and open fourth grade in Emerson.
Mr.. A. S. Hamilton. chairman of the
board. opposed the resolution on &C.
count OF the absent members, and the
meeting broke up 10 disorder, and Mr..
Hamilton resigned as q member OF
the school board. Next morning no
tice was served on the teacher in West
Lynn to close the school. The resi-
dents IN the district refused to obey
the order Of the board. and authorized
their teacher to continue the school,
and this brought on the legal fracas.
The magistrate decided against the

Playing Cards.

Those who believe that "therc IS
nothing new under the SUM-" may
credit the assertion that playing cards
were known among the Chinese, the
Ilindoos, the Arabs and the Romans
long ago. but the only known fact is
that they we're brought out in the
fourteenth century by Jacques Orig
onncur, French painter residing in
Paris. 1t is said that they were made
for the amusement Of the crazy King
Charles vi. The four kings were
David. Alexander. Caesar and. Charles;
the four queens, Angine, Esther, Ju.
dith and Pallas; the four knaves or
knights. Ogler the Dane, Lancelot,
