The board OF education held q

ing last evening. The meeting was
called through the influence of Supt.
AmeEt over two OF his subjects.
The notice was issued to the various
embers with the signature OF j. E..

meeting had been called by order Of
two members in the superin-
tendent's office at 8 o'clock last
evening, to take steps to investi-

short Notice to Teachers.
President Robbins did not attend
the meeting, but the four others did,
and the outcome is the following no.
tice delivered by Supt. Ament this
morning to the teachers Of the
schools:

II you have any specific charges to
make against Supt. James +. Ament
In regard to his professional rela-
tions to you. either as teicher or
an individual. write out the same
over your own signature and present
in person and read the same to this
board Of education at 4:3) p. m,

intendent's office, Building No. 4.

JAMES +. AuENr. Supt.

1t is not necessary to say that the
teachers will not be prepared
to respond on such short no.
tice, or to meeting called
in such manner, nor will
President Robbins who today also
received admonition to attend. No
one ought to know better than the
superintendent that such n proceed
ing is not only irregular, but isin no
sense honorable. To call upon
tcschers during school hours to
present written statements as soon
as school adjourns, about matter
which they are expected to devote
their attention, and on which they
should act with delibcration and
thought is about as good an illustra-
ton rs we have yet had Of the char
acter Of the man. lie has simply at

shouid Have the Investigation.
Supt. Ament should have the in
vestigation. and the board should
grant and insist upon it il he desires
il, but 1t should come in the proper
way and should be held open and
above board. and the teachers will
prove to the satisfaction Of fair
minded people every charge that has
been made against the superinten-
dent.

EXPOSITIONS.


Expeditions seem to have grown
popular in this country, and aires
dy three ere preparing or prcpo-1
-sed. There is the Tennessee Gen.
tsnnikY at Nashville, to celebrate
she admission of Tennessee TO the
Usion; a proposed Texas Semi
Iceatennial at Dallas. Tex, IN 1897, !
sad a Transmississippi Expositioh,
~ be held at Omaha, Neb., il
1898.
A conventions wifi qe A'eld in
Dallas this mehth, the 25th, TO
take into consideration the hoi&-
ing of an exposition there, COM
memorative Of the semi-ceAtennial
existence of Texas, and the acqui-
sition by the United States of all
those sister States and Territories
added by the treaty of Guadaloupe
Hidadgo. The Exposition, while
proposes to specially show the
growth of the States and Terrific
ries which we acquired through
Texas, including Nevada, Utah,
California, Colorado, New Mexico
and Arizona, will also invite the
whole to participate in it. y
The Transmississippi Exposi-
ton which it is intended to hold
in Omaha during six months of
1898, covers, it will be seen, pfet-
ty much the same territory as the
Dallas Exposition. The Trans
mississippi States are growing
stronger every day. They had a
population of 14,2l5, 400 in 1890,
as compared with 5,66,6S3 in 1870,
and they have lately shown a dis
position 10 insist upon their i'm
. portance and to free themselves
from the domination of the East.
A number of transmississippi
conventions have been held from
time to time, which have been
more successful and more largely
attended each year; and there is q
feeling in that section that the
Transmississippi Ex positi o q
should show the great progress it
has made in the past ten years,
just as the South did the Other
day at Atlanta. A local company
has already been organized al
) Omaha for preliminary work, but
each State will be asked to co-ope-
rate and secure the success of the
} Exposition; and a bill has already
been offered i'll Congress by Seha-
tor Allen, to give effect to the Elk
position Directory.
It is quite evident from these
signs that whatever may have been
the financial effect of the exposi-
ton of Atlanta and elsewhere,
they are recognized to have done
a great deal of good to the Sec
tions in which they have been
held, and other sections want to
get similar good results. Times

The sovereign power Of the govern.
ment has won a victory in a legal con
trovsrsy which Is officially labeled "lhe
United States vs.. seventeen boxes Of
snakes and twenty three monkeys" II
was peculiar case, and appears to
have been the outcome Of the jealousy
of a clique Of importers Of snakes and
monkeys in New York toward a rival
The members Of the clique made up
their minds that they would not toler-
ate a new dealer, who might become
formidable competitor In the mar
ket. When they were called on AS ex-
perts to fix valuations they named
their estimates 80 high that the .on-
signee of the snakes and monkeys
could not afford to pay the dury assess
ed The goods were detained by the
custom house authorities and placed
in bond Government officials did not
know how to take care Of the goods
Snakes should have a bath every day.
and these did not get proper treatment
The monkeys, too. were not we'll cared
for. The result Is that about all the
reptiles are now dead, and the deci-
stoH Of the court Is that the govern.
ment need not make good the large loss

sists 1t Is impossible to see.-Buffalo

An Actress Salary.

Sarah Bernhardt's salary Is 81 500 Q
week Yvette Guilbert received under
aer recent contract $1,000 a week, and
Calve earns 81 200 for each Of her ap-
,earances. Olga Nethersole earns $3.50

centage of the receipts John Drew
makes in good times $500 a week.
competent leading man or woman, like
Henry Miller or Herbert Kelcey, Viola
Allen or Isabel Irving. can be had for
500 week. The only player that has
ever received, even in this prOdigal
country, a salary equal to that Of
Bernhartft was Nine. Modjeska. Edwin
Booth, who knew nothing about the
value Of money, once engaged the
Polish actress at a salary OF $1,0OO
week Mr.. Grau's contract with Gull
bert la sted only two weeks, after which
he returned to the cheap prices Of
Paris. Calves contract lasted five
months, but during that time she sings
only twice or three times a week, after
which she returns to the moderate sal
aries of Europe Melba receives ST.
500 night in this country, but in Paris
Is content with $500 a performance.
2ut Sarah Bernhardt's contract con-
tinues through summer and winter. and
every Saturday night she pockets ST.
500. Taking one thing with another,
the actress Is better of than the sing
ers. Averaging the entire income Of
each performance, we should say that
Calve earns $4,000 a year, Guilbert
about S35 ZOO, while Bernhardt is sure
Of $4,000 annually for five years.
