GET THREE HOLIDAYS.
No School on the Friday After
Thanksgiving.

The question of the payment of the coal
bill Of the Pennsylvania & Ohio Coal com
pany came up before the school board again
yesterday and caused good deal of discus
sion. Mr. FIeekenstein representing the
company, was present, and made an ex-
PLANTATION as to why a part of the coal in
cluded in this bid was not up to the quality
called for in his contract. He said that OW-
ing to the strike, it was absolutely impos-
sible to get the kind of coal which the COM
pany was supposed to furnish, and so they
did the best they could in order to keep the
schools provided with some kind of uel. He
admitted that the market price of 1872 tons
so furnished was twenty-five cents a ton less
than the market price of the grade called
for by the contract but at the same time had
cost the company forty cents more. The
board finally concluded to allow the bill
which amounted to s., 83706, less twenty five
cents ton on the 152 tons mentioned.
Inspectors May, E. o. Zimmerman and
Corning were appointed a committee TO re-
critics in the city. The board decided to in
vite the various boards of education of the
state to meet in one of the rooms of the Cen
trail high school during the convention of the
state teachers association during the last
week in December. The board also decided
that, when the schools close Wednesday
afternoon, Nov. a. for the Thanksgiving holi-
day, they remain closed until the follow
ing Monday. That decision was because of the
extra expense of starting fires for one day,
Friday, when they have been allowed to die
out.
Mr.. Yoerg thought the bid for plumbing
the West side schools excessive, so new bids
will be called for.

MANITOBA SCHOOL PROBLEM
Discussed by the Attorney General
of the Province.

WINNIPEG, Man. Nov l6.-Attorney
General Cameron, Of the Manitoba gov
eminent, when asked today for his
opinion on the reported prOuouncement
by the pope on the Manitoba school
question. in which it is decreed that
the children of Catholic parents should
attend none but Catholic schools i'm
Manitoba, said: The decision Of
Rome, if correctly reported. is to be re-
GREETED. 1t seems remarkable, but the
antagonism of the minority to the pub
lie school system has apparently rath-
ct increased than diminished since the
settlement, and probably viii be still
further increased by this decision. 1t
would certainly seem that this is a
most reactionary step on the part Of
the Vatican. Why has not the same
rule been laid down for the province Of
Ontario? 1t is only a short time since
that Cardinal SatOlli made a deliver
auce on the subject i'm the United
States, presumably with the papal
sanction. in which, if ] recollect right
the minority was permitted 90 use the
public schools in all localities where
they had no schools Of their own, that
were up to the public school standard.
IT is difficult 10 understand why the
province Of Manitoba alone should be
placed under such a stringent man.

NATIVES MASSACRED.
Several Thousand Killed by Chief
Samary at Kong.

PARIS, Nov. ia special dispatch
TO the Journal brings serious news
from the Niger district, West Africa.
In order to punish the inhabitants Of
the town of Kong, capital of the king
dom Of Kong, in the Mandingo region
of Upper Guinea for their refusal to
supply his troops with provisions
Chief SamOry has raided the town and
lnassacred several thousand natives
For several weeks the French news
papers have been calling upon the gov
eminent to send a punitive expedition
against Chief Samory. who, on Aug
20 last surprised and routed a French
detachment Of native troops sent to
occupy territory which he had offered
to evacuate. Two of the French Of
ficers and forty-four men were killed.
Kong is a rich and fertile indepen-
dency Of the French Ivory state. If
the report published by the Paris
Journal is confirmed. the French gov
eminent viii have no alternative to
such a punitive expedition as the
French press has been urging it to
undertake.

WHY THE GLOBE OBJECTS.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Please inform me in next week S issue OF the
G o e why you object 10 the annexation of
Hawaii. Subscriber.
Edgeley, n. D.
First, we have deep convictions on
the subject of receiving stolen goods.
Second we do not think it wise to in
vite the complications likely to follow
with Japan. especially, relative to her
subjects thus unceremoniously annexed
to the United States without rights of
citizenship.
Third, we are trying to restrict the
importation Of foreigners who emigrate
to our shores, and we think the reasons
apply more strongly to the $4,000
Chinese, Portuguese, Kanakas and Japs
now on the islands.
Fourth, we do not need the islands
for any purpose whatever.
Fifth. because it is only a piece of
jobbery out of which the sons of mis-
sionaries" who have stolen the islands
expect to make more money out of
Uncle Sam.
Sixth, because it will be virtually an
annexation to the sugar trust.
Seventh, because we have not shown
ourselves capable of giving good gov
eminent to the people of the territory
already included in the limits Of the
United States, and that had better be
accomplished before we attempt gov
erning more people.

READING HIS OWN NOVELS.
How Anthony Hope Was Received
MT Hartford

Not all of the Hartford readers Of Anthony
Hopes novels were at Unity hall last even
ing, says the Hartford Courant OF Oct 2,
because 10 hall in the city could begin to
hold them but there was a large and appre-
ciative number of them, and they thoroughly
enjoyed the novelist as he read his own mean
ing, sentiment and humor into such passages
as he selected, and in manner that did not
fail to emphasize the literary finish OF his
work.
The novelist, a man of medium height, of
slight figure and of intellectual countenance,
made familiar by well known portraits, came
upon the platform accompanied by eX-Mayor
William Waldo Hyde, who briefly referred
to the place the novel had won for itself dur
ing the past thirty years and then presented
one of the new writer's who had won his
rank by his novels, Mr.. Hawkins, the An
thony Hope of literary fame.
The novelist, without any preliminaries
whatsoever, Immediately began his readings,
his first selection being the complete short
story, The Philosopher in the Apple Or
chard." The voice was pleasant, OF good
carrying quality, the denunciation perfect and
the accent that of cultivated English gen
tleman. 1t was but few moments before 1t
was revealed that here was an author, with
out dramatic Evolutionary effort in the slight
est degree, who could read, and read INTO ms
composition those quiet shadings OF hunor
which bring out the thought strongly and
heighten the effect of what has already been
made familiar to the eye on the printed page
The analysis of the philosophers indiifer-
ence and of Miss Marys baffied, but clever
attempt to lead him on, was made most
delicious one, and as he closed the book his
audience was won in heart and cordially.
Naturally the selections from the Dolly
Dialogues of which there were three, were
the most delightful of the programme. The
playfullness of the conversation between Dol
ly Foster and Sam Carter, when he calls to
congratulate her upon her engagement to
Lord Mickleham, and she reads the congratu-
latory letters of her relations, after abruptly
accepting his gift of a jeweled broken heart
gave the reader chance to present merry,
twinkling scene in a most admirable manner
Two other scenes from the Dialogues were
given in the same happy vein and the enter
tainment was over, to the regret of the audi
ence, which would gladly have sat another
hour beneath the spell of this author, who
reads unaffectedly and we'll

KETCHAM CASE.
A Dramatic Scene Precipitated at
the Inquest.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-There was
dramatic scene today while the inquiry
into the death of John 3. Ketcham was
in progress at the Indiana avenue
home of Mrs. Mabel Estelle Wallace,
who claims to be his widow. But two
witnesses had been examined by the
deputy coroner, and statements of the
two attending physicians submitted
when it was announced that owing to
the inability of the chemist to COM
plete the analysis of the stomach of the
deceased the inquest would be adj
jCurned for a week This brought Mrs.
Wallace to her feet in an instant.
Il want an investigation" she said,
land l want a thorough one, but I'm
not satisfied with this. I have some
rights and [ demand that they be con-
sdered before this inquiry is postponed
a week. That will not do. The chem
list can conclude this work in less time
than that. Think of what l must en-
dure in that time" continued Mrs.
Wallace, her voice breaking and her
whole body trembling with emotion.
This investigation has only begun.
Ii must be thorough and 1 will have
more. This is my right, why can't it
be continued in a day or twO?"
Her pleading was not without effect,
for it was finally decided to continue
the inquiry Friday afternoon, by which
time the chemists analysis will have
been completed. Mr.. Ketchum Will be
buried in the plot at Toledo. What
promised to be q difficulty between
Mrs. Wallace and the relatives of the
dead clubman was averted today by
Mrs. Wallace, who, before the inquest
was called, turned her alleged hus-
bands body over to his brother, George
Ketcham, who will leave with it for
Toledo this evening.

If Mr.. Walter Wellman had proved
himself a prophet by the success of his
predictions. more stock might now be
taken in his equally emphatic asser-
,sEn that the presidents message will
outline the policy of the administration
towards Cuba and Spain, and that it
will lead to the freedom of the island
by peaceabIe means and without inter
national complications. 1t is not many
moons since he told the country,
through the medium of the court jour
nal. that the president was going to
send a message TO congress on the Gu
ban question that would startle the ma
ton. 1t was to be the Inauguration of
that long deferred, eagerly looked for
vigorous foreign policy which has
been so much promised and so little
given. And when the brief message
came it was the tamest of affairs; the
bleating of a lamb could not be gentler.
After this and some minor instances
of information from Mr.. Wellman
about things of which he knew moth
ing, we Will await rather the coming
of the message than to accept before
hand his assurance of what it will be.
If, however, the correspondent of the
Tfmes-Herald should chance to be cor
rect. to speak by the card, we venture
the prediction that the presidents pol
icy will not bring freedom to Cuba by
peaceable means. ANY such eXpecta-
ton takes no account whatever of
Spanish pride or arrogance. 1t assumes
that Spain today, with her wealth gone
and her egotism unimpaired, will do
what she has never yet done in any of
the regions of the earth so unfortunate
as to have ever fallen into subsection
ed. and, after a struggle, attained in
dependence. but never until Spain was
exhausted. never through the interior
ence of any other nation, however deli
cately rendered. We have had several
Illustrations of Spanish temper in the
last two years at the mere suspicion
that the United States would interfere.
We have had the demonstrations of the
students at Barcelona and of citizens
elsewhere. We have had the residence
of our minister guarded by troops in
Madrid as a safeguard against the VIC
lence of the people, infiamed by the
thought Of American interference.
Cuba may become free, but it Will
be when Spain is exhausted financial
ly. and freedom is accorded by Spain
herself Cuba may be free by the
intervention of the United States, but
that intervention will be accompanied
by International complications result
ing in war. 1t may be well to tickle the
public with plausible yarns about the
policy of the administration, that is
''forcibly but gently and conservative
" pushing Spain to an inevitable rec
oenition" of the independence of her
Cuban subjects, but until it is accom-
plished we decline to take stock in it.
We trust it may come about in that
manner; we will not withhold COM
.mendation from the administration if
it thus brings it about, but we con-
fess to skepticism, and we are not will
ing to accept Mr.. Wellman as an in
faIlible prophet.

CONVICTION COUNTS.
Rules About the Payment of Certain
BOunties.

State Auditor Dunn received an opinion
from the attorney general yesterday on the
question of the payment of bounties for the
capture of horse thieves. Under the old law
the state paid $500 for the capture and con-
viction of a horse thief, but the legislature
last winter cut the amount down to $50 for
the capture and conviction of man stealing
horse Before the law was passed, however.
both Hennepin and Chippewa counties had
case each of man arrested on this charge,
hut the conviction which followed in each case
did not ensue until after the passage of the
law The question arose whether the men
were entitle to SEQ under the law when the
arrests were made or $50 under the new law
when the convictions were secured. The at
torney general decides that the conviction
date fixes the amount, which is $50.
