VOx POpuli Again.

NORTH CHESTER, JUNE 10.
The opposers of the electric light scheme
had a majority of one last Saturday even
ing. The meeting was adjourned for a
week.
There is paper in circulation as to the
cost of electric lighting that in our estima-
ton is very misleading. We may safely
reckon on double that sum at the start and
then remember that there will be a steady
assessment, heavier and heavier, most
likely as the years roll on; for repairs and
everything. Even if the cost was kept
within the limit named, it would still be
doing the largest class of our citizens a
very great wrong.
The four score or more women who pay
taxes and protested against this unjust
measure in the meeting Of June 13 are, we
think, deserving Of some consideration.
'sLet them move out OF town if they
don't like the measure" is not quite the
kind of speech we should expect of a gal
liant gentleman. No doubt but some OF
them would do SO in such case if they could
fairly dispose of their modest residences,
though we would remind the gentlemen
that there is such thing as deep, abid-
ing, sacred love of home which ought to be
respected.
Voters against the electric lights stand
firm in your place next Saturday evening.
Demand plain statement of what you are
voting for before you deposit your ballot.
Don't allow the "wool to be pulled over
your eyes" by those who are determined to
have the lights anyway.
Don't fail of being present every one
and giving your vote. Look sharp! Dc
not falter in faith or perseverance, for
your course is the course of right. ..Eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty"

HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
Description of What the Building Will be
When Completed Interesting Reading for

All.
The above cut is an excellent likeness of
what the new high school building will be
when completed At the special town
meeting it was voted to build the four ad-
ditional rooms, and thus construct COM
pleted and symmetrical building. When
the labors Of the committee are completed
Rockingham will have $50, 200 high school
structure that hasn't superior, for the
money expended, anywhere.
Charles w. Buckham of Burlington is
the architect and superintendent of con-
struction. We are under obligations to
Mr.. Buckham for courteously furnishing
the drawing from which the cut was made
and preparing the description of the build
ing given below.
BASEMENT.
The basement, high and well lighted,
will contain four play two for the
boys and two for the girls, the girls de-
)dI noooiuoSAy oSP1i oOOo llohi
the boys, and each having separate
stairway to the main corridor on the first
floor. The basement will also contain a
gymnasium room for the boys and one for
the girls, bicycle storage rooms for each,
fuel rooms, heating and ventilating appara-
tus, automatic flush water-closets, etc,
etc. There will be an entrance for the
boys and one for the girls leading directly
into the basement at the back Of the build
ing. Basement floor concreted.
FIRST FLOOR.
The main entrance on School street, is
through the tower, the base Of which forms
large vestibule in which are placed the
steps leading from the ground to the main
corridor on the first floor. There is also
another wide vestibule entrance in the
center of the Cherry street side with en-
closed steps as above. On entering, a large
central corridor, % by Al feet, affords

EXTERIOR.

The building will face on School street
and set back 100 feet from the street. A
tower in center of front, 81 feet high from
grade to tip of final, square, top changes
to octagon thence to 16 sides; at point
where tower changes from square to octa-
gon four terra Gotta classic lamps appro-
pirate to the character of the building are
placed on pedestals both for the purpose
OF decoration and to make the transition
from the square to the 16 sided form easy
and graceful.
The basement will be of granite or blue
marble, the stones laid in random ashlar
with rock face, heavy segmental arches
over the window. The idea in the design
as regards the color scheme is to have the
the basement one solid mass of light colored
stone and the super-structure solid mass
| OF brick red, the terra Gotta work to be
two shades darker of the same color. A
seal brown mortar color will be used for
joints in brick work and the stone work

air from out Of doors through powerful
furnaces in sufficient quantities to provide
80 cubic feet of fresh, warmer air to each
scholar per minute, properly diffusing the
fresh air supplies and removing the foul
and vitiated air SO thoroughly as to keep
the purity of the air of the room within
100000 Of the purity of the outside atmos-
phere. All warm air flues are provided
with mixing valves or hampers whereby
the temperature of the air entering the
room can be controlled without reducing
the area Of fresh air supply. These are
so arranged as to be operated either by
the janitor or from the room, and so made
as to indicate at the heating chamber the
air called for, warm, mixed or cool.

Wholesale Confidence Game Charged
Against Two Men.
Twelve young colored men, all neatly
dressed. were in Judge Miller's court today
to tell how they had been defrauded I'm
their efforts to get employment. There
were two young colored men in the tolls,
and there was one charge Of fraud against
them. Their names were given as David
johnson and Shakespeare Lee. It was
charged against them that they had rep
resented to Robert Smith that they would
get him employment as bell boy on the
steamer Norfolk, as they had authority to
employ such a hand. Robert was extreme
~ anxious to get the situation, and was
Wiling to comply with any reasonable re-
Quirement.

Lee. and, of course, you will have to buy

was able to raise only $275. and Lee said

Hillsdaie Church Troubles,

The long-pending difficulty in the Mace
donia Baptist Church. Hillsdale, in rela-
ton to the employment of Rev. Mr.. Mason
as pastor, was settled yesterday, and it is
understood that Mr.. Mason will leave the
charge.
A conference was held at the Snow Creek
Church, at which were present a number
of ministers from the District of Columbia
and Virginia, who had been invited to sit
in judgment on the case. The meeting
lasted the greater portion of the day, and
after great mass of evidence had been
examined by the reverend clergy the de-
cision was announced that the excluded
faction. which is largely in the majority,
should be again put in possession Of the
church property, and that they should
have the exclusive privilege of saying
whether or not Mr.. Mason should continue
to serve them, and in the event Of any
further trouble in reference to the matter
the ministers interested in the affairs Of
the church, as a member of the denomf-
nation, will take steps to expel the entire
membership of Macedonia from the Baptist
convention.
AS Mr.. Mason is persona non grata with
the faction placed in control by the action
taken yesterday, 1t is expected that he will
tender his resignation today.

Pnfd the Court.

Edward Saunders, colored boy only six
years old. and William Peck, his compan-
Ion. who is two years older. were playing
ball on the street in South Washington
twO days ago, and the younger Of the two
threw the ball through the window Of s.
H. Harris premises. Mr.. Harris, who had
teen annoyed by boys throwing missiles
about the street, swore out a warrant and
caused the arrest of the boys. When Po-
liceman Neale saw the size Of the defend
ants he would not lock them up, but mott
fled their parents to have them in court
this morning.
The boys appeared in response to the
officers notice, and Judge Kimball heard
the charge. Mr. Harris said that the boy
who is only six years old broke the win
dow, and he had complained against him
to stop the annoyance. He did not want
the boy fined if his mother would repair the
damage.
Mrs. Saunders the boys mother. was in
court, but she declined to accept the propo-
sition stated by Harris, and said she pre-
ferred to pay fine, although she thought
her son was too small to be fined.
Judge Kimball did not SO hold and i'm
posed a fine of s. on the boy, and Mrs.
Saunders said she preferred to gay the
court this amount rather than pay Harris
5 cents.

Used Bad LANGUAGE.

George Washington. colored, who was I'M
der the influence Of liquor last evening,
stood at the corner Of 14th and L streets,
intending to get on cable car and go
rome. He knew nothing Of the law which
requires the gripman to stop on the near
side of the street crossings, and because
the cars did not stop on the far side he be-
came angry. Finally he went over to the
near side, and when he got on a car he
made complaint in loud and abusive Ian
guage against the gripman who had re-
fused to stop. His language was not choice
and he refused to stop when warned. When
policeman was called George was arrested
and locked up. This morning Judge Kim
ball told him that he must not use bad
language on street cars, and fined him SIC
or thirty days.

inquired.

nonsense. and when she got mad she cursed
me. And, judge, that wasn't all, cause she
swore about my mother"
How long did this last?" asked the judge
"She kept it up for two hours and a half, u
responded Emma, land I guess she'd been
at it yet if I hadn't had her arrested"
Silvey made a statement in her own be-
half, denying the charge Of bad language
"One was just as bad as the other" she
told the court.
Il imagine that's true" the court re-
marked, "but unfortunately for you the
witnesses are against you.'
