SCHOOLS NOT TO Be CLOSED.
Reports Regarding Diphtheria Exnggern-
ted-Mr. Mayo Accepts n Call.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA. January T.
CSpecial) THE public School Board of
this city held a special meeting here
Saturday night TO discuss the advisabilty
of closing those institutions on account
of the diphtheria that is at present in
this locality. After having visited sew
eral of the most prominent physicians
and getting their views on the subject,
Chairman W. j. Ballard requests me TO
state that as matters now stand ii would
not be necessary to close the schools,
and the public can rest assured that the
board will keep themselves posted, and
should there be occasion for the above
precaution they will act at the proper
time. The reports regarding this malady
have been much exaggerated. | am re-
liably Informed that there has been but
one fatal case in the entire city When
the patient died the remains Were buried
In about three hours thereafter and the
house was at once fumgated.
Rev. G. J. 5. Mayo. pastor Of 81. Paurs
Episcopal church. this city, has accepted
a call from fayetteville. Md. and he
sent in his resignation. TO take effect
on the 18th instant. The vestry have
not as yet made a call. Mr.. Mayo has
had three different calls from this parish
here but declined them. When Mr. Mayo
came here I'm 1887 there were but twenty
communicates, and to-day the register
shows over $50. It is needless to say
that the above result was due mainly
TO his untiring efforts among the people Of
Newport News AS yet there has been
no call made to fill his vacancy.
The Atlantic Journal. a Republican
paper that has existed in this city for
the past twelve months. has suspended

shooting at John Enders Robinson, Jr.

with several little boys. Mr.. Robinson
went to the assistance OF the children
when the negro drew a pistol and fired
several shots. Fortunately. none of the
leaden missiles hit Mr.. Robinson or any
one else.

There will doubtless be an exceedingly
large gathering of college boys and their
friends this afternoon on the campus of
the university of Berkeley. The annual
academic field day will certainly bring out
a large number of athletes, and as we'll
contested games are always the rule and
not the exception the many ladies' and
gentlemen who will attend can expect to
witness a splendid afternoons athletic
entertainment. The schools that will be
represented are the Lowell High School of
this City, Mount Tamalpais Military
Academy, Berkeley gymnasium, and the
high schools of Stockton, Alameda, Cen
teryille, Berkeley, Oakland and San Fran
cisco.
Athletes who are conversant with the
athletic qualities of the young men who
will contest to-day pin their faith on the
success of the Oakland and Berkeley high
schools. The latter having very good ma
terial, doubtless the palm of victory will
be captured by the Berkeley lads. They
have had splendid course of training and
are very confident of achieving grand
victory.

athletes of Oakland are actively engaged in

path. There will be tve events and the
three candidates who will secure the high

most promising competitors. The cyclists
of the association will also have try-out
next week.

THE CYCLER's SONG.

There's JOY In sail in merry gale
On the deck OF flying yacht,
And burst Of speed with gallant steed
Is with liveliest pleasure fraught.
And an ocean trip on a bounding ship
On the breast OF the sparkling sea
Brings vigor sgan to the weary brain
But spin on the wheel for me.
REFRAIN.
Wheeling, wheeling, swift as the rushing wind
The wrinkles Of care fade away In the air as the
city we leave behind,
The heart grows light and the eyes grow bright as
the kiss of the breeze we feel
While speeding along with merry song astrde Of
the noiSeess wheel.
We hold in disdain the Gathering train
AS it flies Ger the cleaning rail,
No Joy is so bright rapid fight
AS we speed over hill and dale;
Through beautiful lanes where the leafy names
OF the trees in the breezes play,
With laugh and a song we speed along,
From the cares of the world away.
Hurrah for the wheel, for the whirling Wheel
Hurrah for the riders gay,
rollicking cheer for the country dear,
And the scent of the new own hay.
Hurrah for the blush Of the eeks afiush
With rudy and healthful glow,
And a three times three for the life so free
Which the cyclers alone may know.
