LETTER No. 157.

Two sides arise eOncveryquestion. Whether
boarding house life is injurious TO young
men and women depends on the boarding
house and the young man or woman.

But in many boarding houses there are all
the refining influences of rel gious culture

A canine cooper" is one OF the features
of Washington's progressive police de-
partment. Jack, for that is the dogs name,
is member OF the staff OF Lieut.. KelIy's
precinct, the Sixth, and he answers the night
roll-calls with as much promptness as any
of the veteran policemen. When Jacks
name is called, he responds with couple
of short barks.
Among the deeds OF heroisa entered on the
records in the police dogs favor, is the
saving OF policeman's life when he was
beset by a drunken tough.
Jacks history is an interesting one. One
cold and blusteTy night in the winter Of
1893, tramp dog approached Policeman
James NewKirk as he was turning in at the
patrol box corner OF Sixth and streets
northwest. The canine took n sudden fancy
TO the kind-hearted officer and followed
him over his beat until he went TO the station
breakfast and warm bed near the stove
The dog showed himself to be polite and
the policemen of the Sixth at once took a
great fancy to him.
One day the officers assembled in the
squad room just before the noon roll cali
and formally christened the animal Jack, 5"
They also presented HIM with pretty
collar, with bright metal plate on which
were engraved these words:

STRONG OPPOSITION
Will Meet Gold Bond ResoIu-
ton in the House.
Expected That Vote Will be Taken
Before Adjournment, Today.
Many Claim That ii Will Not Fare Any Better
Than Springer's Bill.

Washin gtoD, Feb. 13-While the House
committee on rules had no meeting re-
garding the gold bond resolution, it is I'M
derstood it will make it the special order
for tomorrow, and limit debate so that a
vote, in all probability, will be taken
before adjournment
The bond resolution will meet determined
resistance in the House. Some Eastern
Republicans say it will receive a larger
Republican vote than was cast, Thursday,
for the Springer Administrator bill
The Republicans who opposed that
measure insist that the bond bill will be
no stronger on their side Of the chamber
than the administration measure. The
vote it is believed, WILL be very close.
Mr.. Wilson. chairman of the ways and
means committee. this afternoon, reported
the joint resolution agreed upon in COM
mittee, this morning, authorizing the is
suance of 30-year 3 per cent. gold bond
The report accompanying the resolution
includes a copy of the Presidents recent
message to Congress upon the subject, and
a copy of the contract made by the treas
ury department with the European syndi-
cate for the purchase OF the new bonds.
The report sets forth the main points of
the contract and states that the object of
the joint resolution is to authorize the
secretary of the treasury to substitute 3
per cent bonds for the ! per cents. pro-
vided for in the contract.
The report shows that saving to the
government effected by the substitution,
would be $500, 159 year, or $40, ia, 40
in 80 years.

STATE PRINTING.
A Low Contract.
(Aroostook Pioneer.


They are talking over the State print
ing matter again at Augusta. The present
contractors have had comparatively LITTLE
competition and :he reason is not far te
look for Their contract is low--too low
in fact for the amount of money they ART
Obliged to keep invested in their plant.
There is no reason why the State should
not pay as much for its printing as pri-
waite parties do. We do not believe that
the State would gain anything by throw
ing down the kennebcc Journal, after
its proprietors have at very large expense,
fitted up the best plant for doing this
work east of Boston-and that. too, almost
in the shadow of the State House We
believe that such action would be a great
mistake, and that it would, inevitably.
result in great Inconvenience an loss to
the State.
