SELECTIONS FROM THE NAIL.
THE BROOKLYN PRINCIPALS.

THE BROOKLYN PRINCIPALS.
To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: In an editorial in your journal Of April
notice the following assertion 1T also appears that
the principals in general have agreed to institute
boycott against Mr. Hull in Of his final seiec-
ton by the board with the purpose OF making
Brooklyn too hot for him
have never heard OF such combination. ! 40
not believe that any has heard even one prihc'
pal express any intention Of doing aught 10 annoy
Mr.. Hull in case Ne comes to Brooklyn
The Tribune would not knowingly traduce re-
spectablo bodv of men, and it received In good
faith the story and wrote Its comments. But, from
what know of the principals OF this city ana iroi
a conversation with thirteen OF them am sure
that they will all declare in the most solemn man
ner that they have never individually or cohec''es
entertained a thought OF molestng Mr. Hull In any
way If he should be chosen principal OF the Boys
High School.
The Tribune adds this: such policy is wholly
indefenslble. 1t goes step further than the re-
cent efforts of these same principals 20 deIeat IN, d

a woman and her husband who were
The first morning out the woman got out
Of her berth and told the porter that her
husband desired to sleep, as he was not
feeling well.
"Ail that day the man remained in
his bed, while his wife read the papers,
played cards and acted just the same as
the other passengers. In the evening the
porter insisted ON making up the berth,
and, pulling back the curtains, he was
mortified to find that the man was dead.
1t was demonstrated that he had died
some time during the previous night.
The woman knew 1t, but explained that
she did not give the alarm because she
was very anxious to reach her destina-
tion, and she was afraid that II the con-
ductor knew that her husband was dead
she would have to leave the train.
IAN that day she rode, knowing that
her husband was a corpse a few feet
distant from her and yet she never be-

covered. The corpse was taken from the

NEW ROADS.

Editor of Astorlan:-
Mr.. West gave me and others who nre
trying to get roads a going over In your
paper and shows US all up as small po-
tatoes and few in a hill. l have been a
long time in canoe, as he says, but the
building of this Goble road will bring a
lot of people here that cannot be put
in a canoe. They will have roads to go
on. Then / hope to be able to get out
Of the tail end OF a canoe and get the
kinks Of out of my neck. II Mr.. West or
any other man stands in the way Of
opening roads he will be rolled under
in the future. ''The mills Of the gods
grind slowly but they grind exceedingly
fine" Mr.. West advocates road to AS
toria from Seaside by the way of Skip
anon and Warrenton. don't know
whether he wants 1t to also pass by
Flavel and New Astoria or not-maybe
it Is to stop at Warrenton. win any one
with just a little knowledge Of the cost
Of roads think for a moment what would
be the cost of a good road to the sea-
side to Astoria by that route. First, there
is the Nbay to bridge; second, the tide
lands; third, the long thirteen miles Of
sand. After thinking of the cost then
think who would have to pay that cost,
1t would have to be met In Astoria. A
road into Astoria is not wanted on the
"West" side of the bay.
The road to Seaside by the Lewis and
Clark river is, as he says, over hills
and through woods, but these same hills
will furnish good stone, gravel, cement
and all things needed on q good road,
as good men can testify, and the woods
give a cool, shady drive, in place OF a
hot dusty one. 1t has been demonstrated
that the grade over those terrible hills
at the steepest places will be seven feet
in one hundred, and only two places as
steep as that The cost of the whole road
by this route would be only about one
third OF the cost Of the bridge alone by
way Of Slnpanon, to say nothing of the
tide lands and sand. This same tide
land and sand would have to be planked
or graded If graveled the gravel would
have to come from Seaside for the whole
way. If planks are used 1t would soon
have to be renewed. He says the petit
tion has been secretly circulated. All
has been open and above board, that
has been done, notices have been in the
Astorlan, and also notices posted on the
road, one of which was at the end of
the road near his house. But there has
been no petition circulated as yet to i'm
prove under the Cross road laws and
before one is circulated the wishes of
Astorians will be consulted and IL they
stand by us we win come into Astoria
Notwithstanding Mr.. West or any other
bold warrior that cares to stand in the
way. d. F. STAFFORD.

WHAT SOME GREAT MEN READ.

Goethe once said that his literary life
was determined by volume of folklore
tales he read when a child.
Julius Caesar was a close student of
Homer, and said that all military science
was comprised in its pages.
David, the French historical painter,
was student of French history to the
exclusion of almost all other reading.
Salvador Rosa liked any kind of poetry,
but more especially that relating to the
country or to country scenes.
Mrs. Siddons gave much attention to the
history of the drama, and had an extern
sive library of this kind Of matter.
Tolstoi is said to have a large library
of sociology and coins and he eagerly
peruses anything treating on this sub
ject,
Mendelssohn was a close student of
Jewish history and remarkably well in
formed as to every particular of Jewish
annals.
Pope Adrian is said never to have read
any books but the Bible, the works Of
st. Augustine and the offices of the
church
Pope studied the poems of Matthew
Gregory Lewis very carefully and con-
fessed that from them he learned versifi-
cation.
Gladstone's principal reading for pleas
ure, has been in the line of the Greek
classics, particularly in Homeric lltera-
ture.
William Of Orange was an admirer of
Seneca and fond of quoting the moral
aphorisms of the great statesman.
Cortez always carried in his bosom a
little prayer book, which he religiously
read from beginning to end every month.
Bancroft's speciality was the early his
tory of the United States and for many
years all he read had a bearing on that
subject.
Mrs. Hemans was a lover Of the Span
ish romances, and often entertained a
small domestic audience with one of
these tales.
Alexander the Great always slept with
copy of Homer under his pillow. His
life was modelled after that Of Achilles.
Gregory the Great said that the wor
did not elsewhere contain such wisdom
as was to be found in the epistles of
Paul.
Lord Bacon was a diligent student of
Aristotle. He said that Aristotle had
the mightiest intellect the world ever
knew.
Balzac was passionately fond of fairy
tales and the wider and more ex.ravagant
they wege the better he liked them.

HARD ON THE GIRLS.


In an article In the Nineteenth Century
by Mrs j. e. H. Gordon there are some
interesting statistics dealing with the
marriages of the Newman and Girton
girls who take university honors. OF the
Girton girls one in ten marries, and Of
of the Newman girls one in nine. Most
girls would rather secure husband than
figure in tripos. and in this they are
right, for in all probability a husband
conduces to more happiness than a
tripos. Most of the girls have become
teachers-a calling which they might have
pursued without the honors. 1t is q
pity that Mrs. Gordon Is unable to give
the percentage of the unmarried that
have declinerd Offers" But / am inclined
to think that this would be found to be
small, the fact being that a man prefers
as his life companion lady possessed
of accomplishments which are outside of
triposes. If, however, we are to retain
a chamber of hereditary legislators, 1t
might be well that each OF these legis-
lators should only be permitted by law
to marry "a lady who has taken univer-
sity honors

will bring us l150OO tons Of coal. Thus
from these two sources we now have in
sight over $4,000 tons. There are twenty
four more vessels in sight from other
coal ports in Europe, the bulk Of whose
cargoes will consist of that material.
There are six in sight from Baltimore.
In addition we are in receipt OF urge
supplies from British Columbia, Wash
ington, oregon, Utah and Wyoming. It
is evident that no one will suffer from
cold here next winter because OF any de-
ficiency in coal supplies"
