POWER OF THE BOARD.

POWER OF THE BOARD.
"Their powers are set out. in fact,
In section 1896 OF the Code of Virginia,
1887. and further in section 1885 of the
same volume; the first one OF these
sections defines the original jurisdic-
ton Of the Board in such matters,
while the second section prcscribcs it's
appellate jurisdiction.
Section 1466 provides that the Board
may suspend or dismiss pupils when
the prosperity and efficiency Of the
school makes 1t necessary And section
1885 provides that the Supcrint endent of
schools may suspend or dismiss pupils
from the public schools! provided that
the City School Board shall have power
TO revise his action on the PREMISES
These sections of the code seem TO
have been carefully drawn for the
purpose Of defining the exact discipline
OF the public school system. BY these
provisions the Legislature has vested
In the head Of local school management
viz: the superintendent Of schools the
absolute power to sustain or dismiss
pupils at will, reserving to the pupils
n right of appeal 10 the School Board :
while the School Board may Of it's mo-
ton, and in the absence OF any action
OH the part of the Superintendent, sus-
pend or dismiss pupils only when the
prosperity and efficiency Of the schools
y, l.
other words, the original action of the
Superintendent is absolute and unlm-
tied (suhiect of course. to review by the
School Board>, while that OF the Board
itself is limited TO such causes as may
effect the efficiency and prosperity Of
the schools.
while this distinction is Important.
in the abstract. it does not affect this
case, for the reason that the petition
alleges that the child was dismissed
by the Superintendent, and on appeal
to the Board his action in the premises
was sustained.
COURT CANNOT INTERFERE.
THAT this allegation Of the petition
puts the petitioner out of the court
there can be no doubt, for the obvious
reason that this action OF the Supcrin-
tendent, confirmed, on appeal by the
Board. was in the exercise of his discre-
tionary powers under the statute And
it is too well settled TO admit Of serious
argument that the courts have no power
to invade such discretion. This funda-
mental principle is best illustrated in
Virginia by the case Of Brackcn VS.
William and Mary College, 3rd Call. 573,
when the court refused to grant Il man
damus to compel the restoration Of a
teacher dismissed from that COLLEGE,
upon the express ground that such ac-
ton by the court would he an invasion
Of the supreme discretion which belongs
to the management Of such an institu-
ton.
while the case, in the view taken of
1t by the court 81 entirely free from DIFF
| liculty, yet by reason OF the Importance
to the rights Of the citizen, of the ques-
ton raised, and the earncstncss with
which the several points raised were
pressed by the counsel, it was deemed
proper to set out the grounds Of the
decision ut this length.
Let the dcmurred be sustained and
the petition dismissed"
The attorney for the petitioner has
decided to appeal the case to the Su-
preme Court Of the State.

INDEFINITELY POSTPONED.
North side Citizen Fails In Matrimo-
NAL Venture.

North Side Citizen Fails In a Matr!mo-
NAL Venture.
A German of the north side is now
bemoaning a very well intended but
altogether unsuccessful matrimonial
venture. The German in question is
widower and has had considerable
trouble of his own during his earlier
life Being alone and without any one
TO care for him and blessed with con-
siderable CT this worlds goods, he de-
termined to marry, and finally woman
was found whom he thought would fill
the bill.
The woman was a woman living in
Milwaukee who had seen considerable
of life, and like the old man felt the
need of home in which to spend her
declining years. She wrote the Keno
sha gentleman a long letter and told
him that she was ready at any time to
marry him.
A meeting was arranged and every
thing being satisfactory the date of the
wedding was set and the old German,
diving deep in his pocket, put up suff-
cient money for the " fairy" to pur-
chase a wedding outfit with.
When the date of the wedding
arrived the two met in Milwaukee and
started to justice shop with the evil
dent purpose of getting married. But
the course Of true love never did run
smooth and the two got into a severe
quarrel, and before they reached the
place the woman refused to marry the
man from Kenosha, as she said she had
come to the conclusion that they
couldn't agree.
The old man left her and at once
sought the police station and demanded
that the clothes which he had pur-
chased be returned to him. In due
time they we're returned and sold back
to merchant from whom they were
purchased. The German has returned
to Kenosha and will keep his wedding
suit as souvenir of the occasion.

Annual Meeting,

The annual meeting of the Congre-
gational church was held in the parlOrs

reports of the different committees
were read and showed the church to be
in an excellent condition. The com
mittee on resolutions presented me-
mortal of Col. Frank.
The election of officers followed. L.
M. Theirs and John Telfor were elect
ed trustees for two years, and A. E.
Buckmaster was elected to fill the po-
sition of trustee, made vacant by the
resignation of Judge Anthony Van
Wyck. E. B. Kipp was elected clerk
and W. S. Lamb, treasurer. The
pastoral committee will consist of Mrs.
O. S. Newell, Mrs. E. B. Kipp, Miss
Jessie Petrie and Mrs. L. NJ. Theirs.

Rear wheels Easily Removed.

Sterling chainless-The driving
wheel is placed in the center Of the
crank axle, which balances the power
applied on the pedals, and also makes
possible narrow tread. With the
main driving geared wheel in the CEN
ter of the crank axle, the small pinion
on the forward end of the connecting
shaft meshes on the right side of the
driver, and therefore necessitates the
engagement of the rear gears back of
the rear axle, instead of in front of it.
This permits of the use of the entire
lower rear tube of the frame on the
right side as container for the con-
Meeting shaft, instead of breaking it
and building in a framework for the
support of the rear gears. A simple
but effective means is provided for
taking out the rear wheel by removing
the step nut and unscrewing the rear
axle, which does not in any way effect
the rigidity and alignment Of the
machine.
Two rear wheels are made inter.
changeable, giving them the advan-
tage of y or IS geared wheel, as may
be desired, with one set of gears. 1t
is said this will be the standard equip
ment, but another option will be
offered by which the rider can have a
combination of 64 and So, if preferred.
The driving power is practically dust
proof.

BOUND OVER.
Loescher, DeCastro and Hendee Have a
bearing at waukegan.

The four men taken to Waukegan
last Tuesday night had hearing be-
fore Justice Van Dozen at that place
this afternoon. Morehouse waived ex-
animation, but the other three were
examined and bound over to await the
action of the Lake county grand jury,
which meets about the first of March.
Their bail was fixed at $4,000 each.
The fact that Morehouse waived
examination shows clearly that
he has consented to assist the
state in fastening the guilt upon his
companions and he will be held simply
as a witness. 1t is said that it is i'm
possible for the boys to be sent to the
penitentiary in Illinois, but they will
probably be sent TO the reform school
with an indefinite sentence hanging
over them.

TRIED THEIR VOICES.
Mannerchor Effect Permanent organi-
cation at Liberty Hall.

cation at Liberty Hall.
The new Mannerchor held their first
regular meeting Wednesday night at
Liberty hall.
The meeting was very enthusiastic
one, more than thirty i five singers being
present, and all signi6ed their willing
ness to join heartily in the work of the
new organization. The first business
of the meeting was the election of
officers, which was effected by making
the temporary organization permanent
and installing the officers. After this
the members were lined up in their
regular order, and the conductor began
to test their voices. The men all
entered enthusiastically into the spirit
of the meeting, and the way in which
the voices harmonized at this first
attempt was surprise to the con-
ductor and singers alike. Several
pieces were sung and Conductor Nc
Dowell evidently thought the prospects
of the club were good, if the amount of
rigid practice given at the first meet
ing was an index of his opinion.
The club will meet once a week, and
will hold its meetings in Liberty ball.

Not for Everything.

But if you have kidney, liver or
bladder trouble you will find Swamp
Root just the remedy you need. PeO-
pie are not apt to get anxious about
their health soon enough. If you are
+" not quite well" or half sick" have
you ever thought that your kidneys
may be the cause of your sickness?
1t is easy to tell by setting aside
your urine for twenty-four hours; a
sediment or settling indicates an IN
healthy condition OF the kidneys.
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent de-
sire to urinate, scanty supply, pain or
dull ache in the back are also convinc-
ing proof that the kidneys and bladder
need doctOring.
There is satisfaction in knowing tina
the great remedy DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, fulfills every wish in relieving
weak or diseased kidneys and all forms
of bladder and urinary troubles. Not
only does Swamp-Root give new life
and activity to the kidneys-the cause
of trouble, but by treating the kidneys
it acts as tonic for the entire consti-
tuition. If you need a medicine you

A Hobo Makes Repeated Raids on
An Officers Pantry.

For the past few weeks the hobo ele-
ment have had fat picking at the resi-
dence of Policeman James Douglas at
Seventh and f streets. Douglas saw,
ak, hammer and other tools necessary
in a well-regulated household have
mysteriously disappeared, and, sad to
relate, fifteen glasses of jelly that had
been put up by the officers wife, have
also been missed from their accustomed
shelf in the basement
Several days ago when Douglas was
returning home after having walked
his beat all night, he caught sight of a
young man of the genus hobo, prowling
about his backyard Douglas gave
chase, but the prowler proved fleet of
foot and escaped.
1t was different yesterday morning,
when the officer came face to face with
his man on one of the principal streets
of the city. He asked no questions,
but bundled him to the police station,
and this morning he will be tried on a
charge of vagrancy.

AFTER MANY YEARS.
A Young Girl Gets Judgment for
A. Small Estate.

Judge Johnson yesterday rendered
his decision in the case Of Marguerite
Smith against Louis Smith and others,
giving judgment for the plaintiff for
something like $500.
The case is not without interest.
Marguerite Smith is the daughter of
Louis Smith. She had small estate
in her own right, and her father was
appointed her legal guardian. They
removed to Stockton, and she was
there abandoned by him.
Last year the girl became of age,
and then she took steps to ascertain
what had become of her legacy She
obtained an order of court citing her
father to appear and show cause why
he should not make a report of his
guardianship, but he made no response,
and she then sued for an accounting,
and the recovery of the money that
was due her.
The action was, of course, mainly
directed against her fathers bonds
men, as his whereabouts were un-
known. The result was reached yes
terday when Judge Johnson gave
judgment in her favor.
