indispcsition even after a days rest and
much oiling of the various parts. Two good
engines may be made on the most approved
principle. They may each cost-as those OF
the London and Northwestern railway do
f2,2OO, and yet one will exhibit from the

an engine is found so impervous to the as

do its daily work with all the zest and
vigor of a youngster.

The British part of the North American
continent is very valuable piece of prop
erty. There are millions of acres Of wheat
land which have not been opened up, and
there is a large agricultural region which
has rot yet been penetrated by railroads.
The Canadians cannot understand why 1t
is that the immigrants pass their country
by and go to the United States. They have
lots Of land open to settlement, and they
offer. in addition to 100 acres, a premium
of about 81 an immigrant, to induce them
TO settle north of our boundary. Notwith-
standing this, Uncle Sam gets the bulk of
the foreigners, and Canada, after all these
years, has now only about one-fifteenth as
many people as We have She has, all told
only about five millions by the census of
1891, and her population Is creeping up
ward slower than the pace of a tortoise up

The Board of Education Finds Itself Short, and Calls On the City
 for Financial Aid

The board of educat ton held a meet ing last night, with all members present, except Messrs. Gray and Altman. The meeting was called for the purpose of de- vising ways and means to pay the rent of ths High school building.
 The building on the corner of Park avenue and Twenty-first street, used as the public library and High school. is owned by Mr. c. F. Enslen. The board of educat ton pays a rental of $100 per month for the building, but there is an unpaid amount of $500 due the owner. In other words, the board of educa ton is five months behind in it's rent for this particular building, and it has no money to meet ehe payment.
 A communica tion was received from MT. C. F. Enslen that if his rent was not paid at once he would proceed to levy on the property in the building.
 The matter was thoroughly discussed and finally resulted in the adoption of a resolution asking the mayor and board of aldermen to give the needed assist ance. The main object of the board of education now is to prevent the humilia- tion eff having the property levied upon.
 The action of 8 previous m5e;ing was approved and the public schools will close for the term on Friday, May z. The commencement exercises will be held Thursday, Mayo.

ADJUSTMENTS

Howe & Berry's extravaganza com pany held the boards at O'Brien's last night, presenting Rive's spectacular bull lesque Excelsior, Jr.," to large au- dience. In the company were the well known actors Joe Cawthorne and H. A. Cassidy; Johnny Page and Miss Sadie Martinot, Nellie and Ethel Strickland and Carrie Behr. The company presented the play in a satisfactory manner, the vocal selections and specialties being repeatedly encored.
 Joe Cawthorne was the life of the play and his appearance was greeted with a fiattering ovation. The same was ac- corded Miss Martinot.
 The costumes and stage effects were very pretty and added to the success of the performance.
 Of the plot there is little to be said, it being vague as is usual with such productions.
