THE HIGH SCHOOL RACQUET.

The High School Racquet for November
has been out fer several days, but it was
not our privilege to see 1t before yester-
day. The title page is made attractive
by its frontispiece representing large
shield, with the name Of its paper en-
graved on 1t. and surmounted by several
tones, on wnich.stands the lamp of intelli-
gence, and the shield supported by a High
School Cadet and athlete on either side,
a member of the football teams prostrate
at It's foot, and raoquets, balls and bats
arranged In front.
There are several well written articles
and poems, and an excellent editorial on
the need of good High School library,
and q plea that the lunch counter be
made what it was intended for, instead of
q rostru m for school gossip. There is o
very good article on journalism, and
m uch school news that is doubtless in
teresting to the scholars.

A POINT RELATING TO ANNE
ALTON.
TO the Editor of the Press:

In accordance with the law of the last
legislature, petition to the chief Justice,
requesting the appointment of commits
sioners to determine the conditions of
the annexation of Deering to Portland,
has been presented to ksome of our citi-
zens for their signatures.
If any have signed it they have perhaps
not considered that they have thereby
undertaken any psouniary liability, and
yet apparently they have.
A commission Of five, setting to deter
mine matters of Importance like this,
must be paid. A place must be provided
for it's sess ons. Notices must be given.
There must be hearings, testimony, argu-
ments, records, reports and other formal.
ties.
Now when proceedings like this are set
in motion the expense must be very
considerable sum and must be paid by
the parties who initiate them, unless
some different provision is provided by
law.
If the result shall be vote in favor of
annexation, the city would very likely
pay the bills, but II the vote is against
it each city may well say that the ex-
pense was none of its seeking.
AS some of the parties have signed
without suspecting they may be liable
for any costs, it seems only fair to all
their attention to the subject that hey
may withdraw If they wish.

DIED OF A BICYCLE.
An Aged Veteran of Pittsburg Meets
With a Fatal Accident.

Pittsburg, March 25.-Major Charles
H. Miller, the we'll known electrical
gheny avenue, yesterday afternoon.
His death was the direct result of being
run down by a bicycle rider at North
and Irwin avenues on the morning of
March II.
His head was badly injured from
striking the pavement and he never re-
covered consciousness. He was sur
rounded by his family and brother when
the end came.
The rider of the bicycle was Martin
MOrganstein, a well known young man
of Allegheny. He is alleged to have
been riding a great deal faster than the
city ordinance allows.
Major Miller mad just left his home
and was walking up North avenue. He
was in front of the silent steed before
he knew it, and was thrown some dis
lance When removed to his home he
was found to be suffering from a Sc

TEXAS AS 1T w AS.

LFort Worth Cor. N. Y. Post.1
Once there was here race of cattle
barons who were the kings of the state.
I met one of them the other day. a
relic of the glory of the past. He is
~seedy now and broken down, but he
was glad to talk of the times when he
was great.
YES" he said, 1--WE ran the state
while we were at it. When we wanted
free grass we went to Austin and got
it. The legislature did not dare give
us anything else. The water courses
were ours and the cowboys were our
feudal serfs. We called the farmer
who wanted the range opened up a
'nester,' and proceeded to drive him out
when we could not induce him to go
peaceably. Why, we had a banquet,
500 of us, at Dallas once which cost
$4,000; but what did we care? We had
the steers on all the ranges, and they
were worth $22 a head and were going
higher One night there was a feast
of the cattlemen and they made many
foolish speeches. There was present
a governor who had said that the state
did not want any more immigration.
A young newspaper man was there,
too, and they made much fun of him
because his paper had been finding
fault with the arrogance OF the cattle
men. At last he arose and read US a
lesson 1t was a severe one and it
hurt. He told us that we might laugh
then. but the day of reckoning was at
hand and the man with a hoe would
do US up. You may kill him. he said,
but if you do tomorrow there will be
two men with hoes looking over the
barb wire fence. Kill them, and there
will be four men with hoes there. Kill
them and eight will appear. 1t is not
in the nature of things for the land
that will raise twenty bushels of wheat
to be given up to the pasture of a five
dollar COW. Mark what l say. In
twenty years the man with a hoe will
have you on the rum. He was right.
1t was the end of the cattle industry's
boom, and since then we have been
trying to do business on a business
basis The man with a hoe cut the
fences and is the power in this state

DIVORCE FOR MRS. TERRY.
Cuban Millionaire's Wife Seeks the
Courts

Paris, March 25.-Another legal bat
tie in a sensational American divorce
suit, which has been in court nearly
four years already, will begin here on
the 26th.
The petitioner and respondent are re-
spectively Mr.. and Mrs. Antonio Terry
Mrs. Terry was Grace Dalton Secor of
New York before marriage Her nus
band is a Cuban by birth, but became
naturalized in New York, where he is
known to many, although both he and
his wife have resided chiefly (but Sepa-
rately) in Paris many years.
Mr.. Terry is reputed to be worth 81
10000 He is short and slight in figure
and has very dark complexion even
for a Cuban. He owns the fastest trot-
tiers in Paris and is a good musician.
Mr.. Terry is defending, and has an
nounced his intention to SzoseQuently
marry Miss Sibyl Sanderson, the cele-
brated opera singer.
1t is no secret that Mr.. Terry is a
great admirer of the charming cantat-
rice, and is generally to be found in
the cities where she is singing-aS, for
instance. at the present moment in St.
Petersburg.
1t may even be remembered that re-
Gently when in New York Miss Sander
son said she had come to sing and
wed
1t is not surprising, therefore, that
Miss Sanderson is one of the persons
against whom Mrs Terry conceives
that she has a grievance. Mr.. Terry is
alleged to have been not Indifferent to

MUNICIPAL CHANGE.
Prof Richard T. Ely Makes. Some Per
tinent Suggestions

Chicago, March 25.-Prof. Richard T.
Ely of the University of Wisconsin was
the only speaker at the Congreg ational
clubs monthly dinner last night at the
Palmer House.
In an interesting address on Some
Neglected Aspects of Municipal Re-
form" Prof. Ely suggested many i'm
provements that could with benefit be
made in present methods of city govern
ment.
Dealing at some length with efforts
for reform made in the past in various
cities, he said all the campaigns for
good government had been a disap-
pointment and the people need a wider,
deeper basis of reform to accomplish
anything of permanent value. He
thought trained experts mot profession
al politicians) should hold such offices
as that of mayor.
For such men he recommended the
German plan, if necessary, of going out
fitted for the place. And, having prop
er candidates for all offices, make of the
city we'll ordered household
We need not only ornamental re-
FORM said the professor, but a reform
which will reach down into the condi-
tions of life; a reform which will give
US clean streets and cheap tranSporta-
ton with a seat in the street cars or ele-
waited railroad trains to everyone who
pays his fare.
I'VE need improved sanitation and
vigorous control of all monopolies, and
we desire that sort of city government
which will give equal privileges to all
and special privileges to nOne-a very
different sort of city government from
that which we now Witness.
