VIEWS OF DIRECTORS.
What They Have to Say Regarding
Mrs. Craven and Her Relation
ship to the School.


The views of the School Directors con-
cerning the propriety OF Mrs. Nettie r.
Craven retaining her position in the de-
partment, since the publicity she has at
tanned in the matter of the Fair will and
its attendant developments, are to an ex-
tent divided. few of the directors are
avowedly hostile to the lady, and say
that If not willing to resign steps should
be taken for her removal, but in the
opinion of the majority there exists no
sufficient reason for any such action.
President H. T. Scott of the Board Of
Education, while unwilling to discuss the
topic, expresses the opinion that Mrs.
Craven should at least be suspended from
duty pending the decision of the court in
the Fair viii case.
"Her continued presence in the depart
ment under the existing circumstances,
said Director G. A. Murdock, the chairman
of the classification committee, ''is very
demoraiizing and ought not to be toler-
ated. The interest of a school IS always
of greater importance than the personal
interests of any principal or teacher. 1t
is immaterial, in my judgment, whether
Mrs. Craven pe right or wrong in her con-
test over the Fair estate. In either case
she should resign from the school depart
ment. | do not know yet what we can do
about it, but shall look into the circum-
stances at my earliest convenience and
recommend some definite line of action"
THE professional reputation borne by
Mrs. Craven" said Director II. C. Hender-
son, us deservedly high and second TO
that of nobody in the department She is
a fine principal, popular alike with her
teachers and pupils, and her school, the
Mission Grammar, is not surpassed by
any other school in the City for its ex-
cellence of scholarship and discipline.

SHARKEY'S CAREER.
1t Is a Panorama, and 1t Extends
From the Antarctic Around
the World.

the World.
Life has its commas, its dashes, its ex.
clamation points and its full stops. Tom
Sharkey is now at that point best ex-
press d by the period or the semi-colon
which mean the grand divisions of things.
He has been wanderer all the days of his
life UP to the present. lie is now at the
velvet period OF his career He has had
his ups and downs, but he now poses as a
pugilistic wonder before the glare of the
footlights, and when off the stage and out
"glory" be has won, like the Callph OF
Bagdad, on soft cushions at his ease.
Sharkey's thoughts are no more poetical
than the Equator is like the North Pole,
but after the years OF storm the sunshine
has burst from the clouds, ana ne may
now say with the poet:
The night shall be filed with music,
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their TENTS like the ARABS,
And as silently steal away.
This sailor lad, without even a common
school education, is now gem for him
self and for theatrical managers. Be-
tween the acts yesterday, when the lights
were low, the music hushed and the stage
in q shadow, the man who came out
grammaIically and comparatively better
but pugilistically and superlatively best i'll
four-round go with "Pomp padour jim. -
the worlds champion pugilist, related
some incidents of his career.
Sharkey has been shipwrecked, frozen
at the south pole, hungry, desperate and
self-dependent. and he has, which he con-
siders OF greater credit than anything else,
licked" every man ard boy whom he
ever faced from Dundalk. County Louth,
Ireland, where he was born in November
1872, to San Francisco and June 23 1896.
The sailor lad ran away from his home
in Dundalk when he was 10 years old. He
kissed his mother one night more af-
fectionately than usual, and his share Of
the peat piled up on the hearth was a
little larger than usual, and that night
while the moon shone full on the green
isles lakes and rills" the boy slipped
quietly from his couch and the next morn
ing was seaman's apprentice aboard the
good ship Madeline Ann, bound across
the stormy English Channel. He was as
wet with dashing foam as he was full of
ambition before the end of his first voyage.
1.-The sailor lad" was eighteen months
in the coastwise trade around the British
isles. Then he sailed away for Calcutta,
and before he finally returned to the
mouth of the Thames he had touched at
Hongkong and Nagasaki Sharkey has
been around the world. Port Said, Sgd
ney, Rio de Janeiro, Cape Horn and the
Cape of Good Hope are as familiar to him
as the Golden Gate.
Sharkey is one of fifteen children. His
father, mother and the whole family are
all aliv-. He has been back home only
once since he left it in the moonlight
fourteen years ago, but he said yesterday
that if he bested Corbett in the coming
contest, which means at least $4,000 in
pocket, he would be homeward bound
again, and, in addition to his presence,
Otherwise cheer his parents declining
years. Even in the bloodiest battles of
life there is some pathos and some
affection.

Alarming Facts.
Gus and happy

1t is an alarming fact that three-fourths
of the men are lost to all the attributes
which make the strong, brave aid noble
man. They are prematurely old and dis
eased through excesses or unnatural
strains which sap the fountains of life, de-
stroy the health and strength, and finally
result in physical wreck. These poor vic
tins, loaded with disease, remorse and
humiliation, silently suffer on, going from
bad to worse, until death closes the sad
scene. Muscular strength and manly
power are both based upon the one condi-
ton, and that condition is health. With
health all the essential organs of the body
are capable OF performing their functions
properly, producing mental brightness,
manly vigor ard muscular power. Disease
robs the blood of it's richness, tears down
the constitution ana destroys the mental
as we'll as the physical man.

Distressing Thoughts.

1t is distressing thought to learn from
medical statistics that seven-tenths of the
women of this vast country are suffering
from some chronic ailment, and in most
cases that ailment is peculiar to her sex.
With that fortitude which only the true
woman possesses, she uneom plainingly
year. with the false hope that nature will
some time remedy her trouble and restore
her health. With the great love for beauty
which every woman desires, she, with
paints, powders and lotions, tries in vain
to cover up the lines and defects which the
cruel work of disease has wrought in her
once beautiful face. There is but one foun-
dation for beauty, and that is health.
Health produce mind teeming with wit.
the bright, sparkling eye, the rosy cheek
and the plump and well-rounded form.
With health the whole world is a world of
sunshine. With disease it is dark,
gloomy, prison-like abode.

A Discovery Of lmnOrtnnce.

It is announced that German sci
enlist has patented a process by which
q tissue is made that will take the
place of the natural skin and be alb
sorbed as the injury heals. He takes
the muscular portion of the intestines
of animals. Both the inner and outer
layers of membrane are removed. The
middle portion is then permitted to
remain for a suitable time in solu-
ton of pepsin, when the fibers are
found to be semi-digested. The sub
stance is then treated with gallic acid
and tannin. Large surfaces from
which the skin has been removed by
disease or accident may be healed in
o short time by means of this tissue.
It is prepared and laid upon the raw
surface, which has previously been
sterilized, and is very lightly band
aged in place. The union of the it's
sue and the surface takes place in a
little while, and the tissue forms a
coating that answers the purpose of
the skin to degree better than any
known substance, and is likely, when
still further perfected, entirely to re-
move the necessity for skin grating.

IT SAVORS or PURE BLUFF.

The LisbiE Company Threatens to Re-
move It's works n the ChanceiIor's De-
oision IL Against Them.
Rumor WAS rife this afternoon that
the Lisblg Manufacturing Company had
begun arrangements for removing lt8
plant to South Carolina, near the phos
phate rock beds. Manager Ward was
called upon by an EVENING JOURNAL
reporter and he said
There Is nothing In it. We have no
idea nor have We begun any negotiations
tending to a removal from the city"
When further questioned about the
matter, Manager Ward denied that
the company had thought Of
moving It's Wilmington plant. He
did not know how the rumors
originated but was quite sure they were
like much street gossip-absolutely with
out foundation.
A man who Is closely related to
the company when asked AZ TO
the truth Of the rumored removal,
said II am not prepared to
say whether there will be a removal
or not. It Is certainly fact that II the
company cannot do business here 1t will
go where IL can The phosphate rock
queries are located In South Carollna.
That is all can say
