meeting last night of the City School
Board there were present Superintend-
ent Kemper and Messrs. Aitcheson,
Thompson, Marbury, Carne, Harrison,
BRYANT and Vincent. Mr.. Marbury
presided. -,
Mr.. Vincent reported that the bill of
Alfred Lane of 500 for whitewashing,
presented OF, the last meeting re-
ferred to the finance committee, had
been corrected and made SIG 80.
That and other bills for supplies
were ordered to be paid.
Mr.. Vincent reported that the mat
Ter of paving on the Wolfe street side
Of Washington building was before the
CITY Council, where it had been held
up by one member.
The Superintendent reported that, IN
accordance with the order of the Board,
the schools had been closed, after
very successful session, on the
the days designated; that the closing
exercises were of most credltapie
character and showed evidences of i'm
nroyement in every direction. This
was particularly noticeable of Lee
school and the appearance ofthe pupils
of that school he had never seen eX-
celled at any previous closing exercises
he had ever attended.
Mr.. Carne called attention to the fact
that in Peabody building there were
rooms in which pupils were taught
which were without windows, having
only large doors. He offered the fol-
lowing
Res0lred, That hereafter no schools
under the control of this board, shall be
kept in rooms without windows; and
that the committee on school-houses
and furniture he directed to have con-
structed in the assembly rooms of Pea
body building, temporary partitions so
that two of the schools which now &C.
cupy the lower story of the building
may be transferred to room where
there is sufficiency of light and air.
1t was thought by some of the men,
bers that some of the doors in the
rooms could be converted into windows
or other means provided for better ven.
tilation, and the matter was referred to
the committee on school-houses and
furniture.
Mr.. Vincent stated that the time had
arrived for the annual overhauliug OF
the buildings and that he was almost
afraid to report the repairs needed for
some of them. The two colored school
houses needed new roofs, and one of
them, Hallowell building, needed new
weather boarding on three sides. One
room in Peabody building also needed
new floor.
The committee on schoolhouses and
furniture was authorized to have need
ed repairs made to the school buildings.
The application of Miss Mary Payne
for position as teacher was referred
to the Superintendent.
The Superintendent stated that the
examinations for teachers would be
held on August 18th and 18th.

This has been a dull week in business sf-
fairs generally. The new Wheat crop is be-
ginning to arrive, but prices are way down

some money in circulation, but those even
who have money now are charry about spend
ing it. In New York yesterday money on
call was steady at 2a3 per cent, last loan 3
per cent, and closed at per cent. Prime
mercantile paper 4a51h per cent. In Balti-
moro money is steady at BAD per cent on
call, with an ample supply in the hands of all
| lenders and only moderate demand prevail
Ing. The uncertainties of the political situa-
ton has tended to restrict business operations.
Local shares are quiet with little doing.

silver plated lady's wheel. All enam-
eled parts we're finished in the usually
highly polished finish, and were en-
bellished everywhere possible, in most
artistic, exquisite and original de-
signs, in wrought silver. The handle
bars, pedals, cranks, sprockets, hubs,
balls, cups and spokes were silver
plated. The brake was covered with
gold and enamel in artistic designs.
The spoke nipples were OF gold and
glistened through rims of highly pol
ished mahogany. The saddle was q
dream in leather. 1t was constructed
of fine, highly polished leather, hand
carved in fanciful designs and was
tipped with jeweled silver tips. The
top of the head was crowned with q
circlet of beautiful pearls, surrounding
huge amethyst, while in either ham
dle-tip were set similar specimens of
the violet blue gems. In the head of
the adjustable handle bar set screw
and At the end of either rear fork
diagonal tube were set handsome tur-
quOise gems.

The Oldest Postmaster.


The oldest postmaster in the United
States is resident of Missouri. His
name is Elijah Watson, and he is To-
Gated at Rushville, Buchanan county.
His appointment as postmaster OF the
village bears the date OF June 10, 1858,
and was issued during the administra.
ton of President Franklin Pierce.
Watson was at that time clerking in
James Dickson's general store at Rush.
vile, and his commission came with
out any exertion on his part. Dick
son, who held the place before him,
simply became tired and turned it
over to his clerk. The first few years
OF Watson's services the total COM
missions amounted 70 about q dollar
q month. Nashville has increased in
population until it now has 800 peo-
pie, and the postofflce is worth $3.50
year. If Watson ever had . COM
petitor for the office he has never
known it. He is so satisfactory to.the
people that il the present administra-
ton was to name anybody in his
place it would lose a great many
Democratic votes. During the forty
three years of Watson's service he has
only been required to give bond on
four occasions.
81 have ouly one complaint to
make against the Postoffice Depart
ment," said Mr.. Watson to a reporter,
"and that is that in the big Offices
some men get too much pay and in
small offices some get too little"
Watson has John Wanamaker's
word for the claim that he is the old.
est postmaster. During Harrison's
administration, Wanamaker sent for
Watson's picture, saying he wanted it
because be was the Oldest postmaster
IN continuous service.
Elijah Watson was born in Flem-
ing. KY, in 1916, and is now eighty
years OF age. In 1916. in company
with his good wife, who is still living,
Watson Joined q colony headed for
the "Platte Purchase" and located on
q farm about a mile east of Rush.

in those days was somewhat similar
to the present rush for Cripple Greek.
Watson still enjoys good health, and
reads the addresses upon the letters
and papers that come to his Office
without the aid of glasses.

Too Much OF a Pre,ecstouist.

Tom Plat, the New York Republi.
can boss, has poor opinion OF Nc
Kinley's abilities as a public man, and
is quite open in giving some very good
reasons why he would be an unsafe
candidate for the Republicans to nom.
mate and an unsafe man for the
country to have as its President. In
Platt's opinion Mckinley is " no bust.
ness man, no statesman, no sagacious
politician, even."
1t may sound strange to Republi.
cans whose chief political faith con.
sists in devotion to high tariff. to
hear the New York boss object to Nc
Kinley because he represents too
much protection. There is great
truth in his remark that The Ameri-
can people have shown that they don't
want radical tariff in any direction"
and yet the Ohio tariff champion
stands for nothing else than a tariff
of the most radical character. His
election would mean . re-opening OF
the tariff question. 1t would be an
invitation to all the trusts, monopolies
and expectant beneficiaries to besiege
Congress for renewal of tariff rob-
berry, and the business of the country
would be again disturbed and dis
ordered by agitation on that subject.
This is one OF the reasons why Tom
Plat says Mckinley should not be
nominated, and this 10 the chief rea-
con why, If be is nominated, the peo-
pie will say he shall not be elected.
