NEW YORK, June 26.-The New York

and Brother, limited, and ]. 6, H. Bates.
big English cotton manufacturers, stat
ed today that they had not received
news of the consolidation of the home
firms. English reports say the firms
have consolidated.
Statements by outside thread men that
the Willamette Linen company and
the Clark MileEnd company have join
ed or been asked to join the consolidation
was denied by the managers of both
companies. The consolidation does not
affect the linen thread men at all. Pres
ident Hartshorn of the Gable Flax Mills
said promoters had tried to bring the
linen and cotton men together but the
two lines were so distinctive that the
scheme had to be dropped.
The principals of a number of smaller
cotton thread firms today said that they
were in the dark as to the plans of the
consolidated firms, and would venture
no guess as to the effect the consoli-
dalton would have on parties here. A
rumor that the Willamette and Clark
companies had agreed to consolidate
could not be verified.

Bell Smith, Rea Hanna and Eleanor

Modern Minstrel by Kate Hall, and
The Ballad of Lady Mary by Mamie
Longley, were in the nature of historical
narratives. Mr.. Charles Seyler defend
ed the press as the greatest and most
necessary of aggressive educational
workers.
Superintendent James A. Foshay gave
an earnest address on the relation of the
high school and other public schools to
the standard of civilization of the ma
ton. He believed that such schools
stood for more liberty and progress and
happiness than all other human insti-
tutions combined.
He believed the day was not far dis
tant when public instruction would in
clude the training of the hand to supple
ment that already given to the head
and heart and that the result of such
training would be civilization infinite
ly superior to anything yet known among
men.
Principal w. II. Housh presented the
class of SO and made a brief but earnest
address to the class. File clothed the
old idea of success with new and at
tractive imagery and exhorted them all
to win such success
President Hale of the board of educa-
ton made a few remarks and presented
the diplomas in his earnest and Impress
i've manner.
The exercises were of such q high char
acter throughout as to reflect high credit
upon the entire school department.

pathy with Huddleson, and which at
the latter's instance has lately been in
vestigating the charges preferred by
him against Ross. Marshal and others
has dismissed the matter because of
some informality and new proceedings

friends claim that the judiciary board
has absolutely no jurisdiction in the

partly nulify the effect Of the findings of
the advisory board as to the charges long
since made against Huddleson.

Right Of Way and the Company
Declines to Buy

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2&-The San
Joaouin Railroad company has 1ouno
more difficulty than was expected IN Sc
curing the necessary rights OF way iroiii
stockton to Fresno. The companys
ogants and local committees are now at
work to get the rights of way 1or the
road south to Bakersfield. They were
compelled to pay for some OF the srouno
covered by the section ALREADY ouii..
The directors have decided that they VIII
not pay for these privileges on any par
of the line from Fresno to Bakersneld'
and IL the people along the route nave
not sufficient public spirit 10 donate me
land the extension of the road may De
delayed indefinitely
Chief Engineer Storey announced To-
dav that to be the settled future policy
of the board of directors. wheh ne was
asked about the extensions in contem-
plation. .o.
eve expected" said Mr.. Storey, that
when we started the road from Stocktoh
south that the land owners along the
route would donate the rights OF way.
We found ourselves greatly mistaken
"A great many rights of way were 40
mated. but we were compelled to pay hlgh
prices for considerable sections OF the
line. Some of the owners exacted the
very last cent possible.
I'VE thought it policy to buy these
rights because we wanted the ROAD pullt
as far as Fresno this summer, but we
will not pay for the rights OF way down
the valley in future.
COMMITTEE of citizens are now at
work securing rights of way in Tulare
and Kings counties. They are meeting
with fair success, but until they nave Sc
cured a complete line to Bakersfield we
will not do another stroke OF work on
the road in the way of extending the
line south. We think that the people
owe it to themselves to give us these
rights of way"
"What other extensions of the ROAD
are contemplated" was asked.
1--WE have nothing to say as regards
that. We propose to issue bonds to pay
for. the road from Stockton to the bay,
but when the work will be undertaken
am not prepared to say
THE YOSEMITE ROUTE.
STOCKTON, June 26.-EX-Surveyor-
general Reichert today filed with the To-
cal land office an application from the
directors Of the Yosemite Valley railroad
for rights of way across the govern

decide on that road as the proper one

CELESTIAL IRON
An Ohio Hen Finds a Meteor Of Very Little
Value

ALLIANCE. O., June 26.-Tuesday af-
ternoon while Thomas Richards, res
ident of Gaskill street was standing on
his porch during heavy rain storm,
he was startled by flash and kissing
sound. The next instant he felt a con-
cussion that shook the ground and rat
tied the windows of his house. Rich
ards came to the conclusion that his
home had been visited by a meteor,
and has been hunting for it ever since.
This evening he found hole in the
ground within four feet of his house
around which all of the grass had been
burned. Richards gouged down into the
earth and found near the surface a
meteor. The aerolite is in the shape
of a spheroid, and weighs about nine
pounds. 1t is very hard, blows from
sledge hammer failing to break it. Lo-
cal scientists say it is mostly meteoric
iron.
