Armenias Mix.Up-Evenlng Schools-Row on
Broad Street--Arraignment Of GermaiD.


A special meeting of the School Com
mittee was held last night at the Superin-
tendants Office. The records OF the last
meeting were read and approved. Several
bills were received, allowed and ordered
paid. The purpose of the meeting was to
consider the matter of the appropriation
for the ensuing fiscal year. The matter
was discussed at some length, and 1t was
deemed advisable to ask for an increase
over last year.
Two more rooms will in all probability
be opened at the Washington street school,
and this item alone will call for an addi-
tional appropriation of nearly 1900 for the
teachers services.
The sums needed for the various depart
ments are as follows: Teachers, $26, 500;
janitors, S3,O16; evening schools, $500; in
citentals, 81 500; library, text books, etc.,
$500. After considering the matter fully
IL was finally decided to ask for an appro-
priation of S28, ,378 for the next fiscal year.
That would be an increase Of 900 over
last wear; and considering that more school
rooms are to be put In service, fact which
will require more teachers, the request
seems quite reasonable. 1t was stated by
Mr.. Authier of the committee that he
would suggest forming a sewing class for
those pupils who are advanced as far as
the grammar grades.
In explanation of this innovation Mr..
Authier advanced the argument that he
was pleased to see young ladies well ad-
vanced in school matters, but, in his opin-
ion, he would also like to see them able to
mend their clothing IL the occasion arose
Supt. Draper agreed with Mr.. Authier, but
but thought 1t unwise to introduce this
idea at the present time, and thought that
it might be introduced into the schools at
some later date, in the form of a manual
training system. No more business of
importance coming up the committee ad-
journed to meet at the time OF the regular
monthly meeting.
Turkey Supper and Fancy Sale. veyx
A very pleasant affair was held yester-
day afternoon and evening, under the
auspices of the ladies of st. Georges Guild
of st. Georges church, at the parish
house. Prom 8 to o'clock turkey sup
per was on the program, and the proceeds
from this source will add materially to the
general result, as turkey after turkey dis
appeared from sight.
During the afternoon and evening a sale
of fancy articles, candies and various other
things took place. The booths and tables
were prettily decorated, the committee Of
arrangements having used excellent taste
in the many details.

The Horse Recovered.
The horse which strayed from the barn
offMr. Munier inlLincoln avenue Wednes-
day night has been heard of down in See
konk. Officer Lee of Pawtucket telephoned
Chief Goldsmith yesterday that Mr.. Coles
of Seekonk was in possession of the horse.
Cole found the horse walking around In
the neighborhood of his property early
Thursday morning. He secured the ami
NAL and at the first opportunity notified
the police. 1t seems strange to many that
the horse strayed away so far without any
one in this neighborhood having seen him
Mr.. Munier went to Seekonk today and
secured the animal.

direction of Joseph Beecher. The affair
promises to be one of the successes OF the
season as both Mr. and Mrs. Horton are
taking unusual pains to make 1t an un-
qualified success.
