The June number of The Atlantic
Monthly contains an article on 'sThe
Politician and the Public school," bv Mr..
l.. II. Jones, Superintendent of Schools
in Cleveland, Ohio The title is sugges-
tive, in view Of the attempt here to usurp
the functions OF the school committee.
We have not seen the article in full. but
here is an interesting extract from the
publishers advance notes.
Members Of school boards are usually
chosen on account of other reasons than
their professional knowledge Of school
work. They are manifestly not the CON-
petent professional authority here advo-
Gated. The creation of the office of SUI
perlntendent is recognition of the need
OF an executive officer who is an expert
IN this very work which the members of
she board are unfit, through lack of train
ing, to perform. Having, then, provided
an expert executive officer, it is absurd not
to allow him to use his expert knowledge
III the highest interest of the schools; and
yet | venture the assertion that in very
sarge proportion of counties, towns, and
cities the superintendent is superintend-
ent only in name. In my own judgment,
the proper method is to give to the super
intendent (either by statute, or by the
common consent of the school board as
the legal authority and the community as
the interested party, preferably the for
snel) full power to appoint, promote, and
discharge teachers, and to hold him
strictly to account for but one thing
good schools. Select a capable man for
pelintendent, give him adequate power,
and require results. The possession of
power will make him conservative; and
the concentration of power in his hands
will make it easy to hold him accountable
Tor results. Appoint the superintendent
1or an Indefinite period, but be sure to re-
serve a means of getting rid of him for
incompetence or malfeasance in office.

The young man was bringing to bear
all his limited attainments as contor-
zionist in his efforts to see around the
tall, wide hat worn by the sweet girl
in front of him.
The young woman whom he was ac-
companying saw him and pitied him.
Then knowing smile passed over her
face and she leaned over and whispered
loudly enough for the girl with, the big
hat to hear:
What a lovely hat that girl in front
of you has on"
He looked fierce, but said nothing, and
the owner of the hat stared straight
ahead with pleased expression.
What pity it is, the young woman
with the knowing look resumed, that
she doesn't know it ISM t on straight"
The girl in front made convulsive
grab and shifted the hat to one side. Then
1t didn't feel right and she showed it away
over on the other side, only to hear in the
commiserating stage whisper behind
her:
Poor thing. She'll never get it straight

1t was too much. The girl in front
reached up with resolute hand, undid
the hat and laid it in her lap, while the
young man cast glance at his compan-

A sportsman's life was once saved by
his knowledge of one of the physical
peculiarfties of the bear. Gen. Hamil-
ton, who tells the story in his Sport
in Southern India, was out on a bear
shooting expedition with a brother Of
fcer. The heaters drove the bear from
his hifing-place and a shot from the
officer threw him on the ground; but
he got up, with a grunt, and made
off.
AS the bear passed an open bit of
ground Gen. Hamilton again fired but
missed and the beast turned on him.
When he was within a few yards the
general gave him the other barrel. As
this did not stop him Hamilton started
to run but tripped over rock and fell
fiat on his face.
The bear was upon him instantly and
the sportsman, looking over his Shout
der, saw into the bears mouth as the
brute made a grab at him. The animal
caught him by the thigh and pinned
him. Knowing the bears nose is very
sensitive Hamilton hit him several
hard blows on the nose. The bear, IN
able to endure the pain, let go, and
before he could get hold again, Hamil-
ton was I'D the hill.
His companions ran up and killed the
bear by ball through his heart. But
the bears claws had laid open Hamil-
tons thigh to the bone and he was in
bed for month

cate Well Pleased.
They Will Get More Than Halt
of the Bond Issue.
OFFERINGS IMMENSE.
Bids of observation-disclosures
ly Swamp Treasury.
The Deutche Bank of Berlin
Wanted the Whole Loan.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Four thou
sand, six hundred and fifty bids for
S55S, 269, $50 worth of bonds. Such
is the tremendous total of the sub
scriptions opened at the Treasury de-
partment yesterday, in accordance
with the terms of the call issued a
month ago inviting proposals for $780,
600, 600 of United States 4 per cent
bonds, to run for thirty years from
February i. 1895. These figures do
not include about $l20, 1000, 900 of
''crank" bids rejected as bogus.
The immense offerings astounded
experts. The bids literally swamped
the Treasury department. which was
so taken by surprise that at o'clock
last night, although extra clerks had
been hurriedly drafted, the work of
tabulating the bios was still in pro-
gresS, and it was impossible to tell
with defniteness how many bids
and for what aggregate had been
received at figures in advance of the
upset price of no. 6S77, at which
a syndicate, composed of J. P Morgan
& Co.. Harvey, Fiske & Co., and the
Deutche Bank of Berlin offered to
take the whole loan. The bids ranged
from par up to a single so bid at $50.
1t is impossible, therefore, to say at
this time how the awards will be
made.
Treasury officials regard the loan as
complete success, both as to the pop
ular subscription feature and the
prices obtained. Bids came from sew
eral thousand individuals and from
hundreds of National banks and other
banking institutions. Nearly all the
leading New York bankers and big
insurance companies are represented
in the list of bidders but with few ex-
ceptions they were out-maneuvered
by the Morgan syndicate.
Owing to the confusion caused by
the magnitude of offerings and conse-
quent delay il classifying and sched-
uling the bids, any authoritative state
ment of policy that will be pursued can
not be made at this time. AS the
great bulk of the offerings were below
the Morgan figure, it is believed that
the syndicate headed by the great
New York banker will be accepted for
at least $50, 900, 600, and possibly more
In any event, no bid below the syndi-
cate rate of l1O.6S77 will De accepted,
as that rate covers the entire loan. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Morgan will
procure part of the gold from abroad
and will not need to deplete the Treas
ury to furnish any part of the gold
called for under his bid.
Missouri sent in bids under log
amounting to 1923, $50, and Kansas

SOFT WHITE ROCK

Two C0lered Men Found Enough OF It to
Sell For $4,000.
CRIPPLE CREEK, Feb 6.-1wo colored
men have made big find.
They came into town with a small
piece of soft white looking rock and 60
ing to Mr.. Scott's hardware store they
had"him crush the rock and pan it. The
banning showed what was supposed to
be free gold. Acid was tried on the sub
stance, but did not affect it. 1t was
stated by the discoveries that if the rock
they brought in contained gold they had
tons of it ready to ship. After returning
to their find, instead of returning to
Penn berton, they each took a sack of the
ore, one going to Denver and the other
to Colorado Springs. Assays were had
in both cities, which checked each other,
running $173 in gold.
An arrangement was entered into with
H. j. Farley, a wealthy and prominent
man of the Springs in which he was
given an option on the property for ten
days, the consideration to be $4,000,
$4,000 cash and $4,000 every 80 days
until the amount be paid. Mr.. Farley
and the expert are now upon the ground
investigating the prospect and if the re
suit is as anticipated the deal will be
closed at once. The location is four
miles east of Pemberton and great ex-
element exists in that part of the camp.
