DAY WITH BRANCH HIGH
SCHOOL PROBLEM.
FRIENDS OF THE BRANCHES
ARE EXPECTING TO WIN OUT IN
THE COMING CON-
TEST.
LIST OF TEACHERS is HUNG Ur,
Pending Action by the BORrd on the
Other Trying Problem in Man
agement.

A meeting of the school board will
school building this afternoon at 2
o'clock Mr. McNair, who has been
out of the city for few days, sent
word Saturday that he would be home
today, and all members of the board
will accordingly be present The meet
ing will settle the question Of whether
or not the branch high schools are to
be closed next year or nOt. 1t is eX-
pected that those who are opposed to
any SUCH action will be out in force
to protest by their presence at the
meeting against any such action. 1t
is not believed than any such action
will be taken by the board. When the
question came up before the six men,
bers< of the board split even on the
proposition to close the Mechanic Arts
school. The whole problem has since
been awaiting the return of Inspector
Yoerg, who had been called to the
coast. Before his return other mem
bers were called away, and so
this question has been hung
up till this time. Since Mr..
YOerg returned he has expressed him
self against the closing of the branch
high schools, and he will probably
join forces with Messrs. Scholle Wilkes
and May to prevent any such action.
Mr.. YOerg is in favor of keeping up the
present school arrangement as long
as there are funds available to do so.
When the funds run out then he thinks
all the schools can be closed. But he
has said that he is opposed TO shutting
up any of the schools at this time.
1t is thought that after considering
the question this afternoon the board
will decide to leave the schools as
they are, and will proceed to select the
staff Of teachers. The list has been
prepared and, it is understood, shows
little change from that Of last year

IN SPITE OF DAMPNESS,

in on the modus operandi. In produc-
ing twenty-five flags of different ma
tiCns from a small silk handkerchief,
the magical incubation, where a live
duck is taken from a bundle of whirling
ribbons, and in the manipulation of
number of apparently solid rings, Marc
did some creditable work With play
ing cards he is particularly dexterOus,
and on the whole he gives promise of
ranking high among the opponents Of
the "Black Art"
William A. Mccormick in whistling
specialties and limitations was eXcep-
tionally entertaining. His mimicry OF
birds and animals was realistic and
amusing, while the audience could be
made to hear the whirr and buzz OF
different insects wings at the will OF
the artist. In initiating the progress or
a tug boat up a river and in a planning
mill speciality, Mr.. Mccormick rather
unusual talent was shown to particu-
larly good advantage.
Percy Churchill was in splendid voice
last evening, and creditably rendered
two ballads, "The Old Rope Swing
and 81 Wish I'd Never Been Soldier"
adding materially to the enjoyment Of
the entertainment.
Mr.. Marc will appear before the mem
bers of the Commercial club at noon
today in a short programme of his best
tricks.

YORK WAS HUNGRY.
Perhaps That Was why He Arrested
Himself,

James York, a young man locked
up in a cell at the central police sta
ton, is either the victim of a tender
conscience or a hungry stomach. York
walked into the station yesterday
morning and declared that he wan--
ed to give himself UP for stealing a
bicycle. He had taken the wheel he
said, Saturday night from in front Of
the Boston clothing store and had sold
it for 81. His conscience would give
him no rest, the young man said, and
he had been impelled to confess HIM
self a thief.
York's desire to be locked up was
complied with and he was charged
with larceny. The young mans peni-
tent action was commended by those
about the station and Jailer Harris
went out to order dinner for eight
prisoners whom he had on hand.
When he got back three of his charges
had been bailed out and he had three
dinners more than he knew what to do
with. Thinking York might like
lunch he placed the basket containing
the extras" in Yorks cell and went
down stairs for a few moments.
When he came back not a vestige of
the dinner for three" remained and
now Jailer Harris thinks the young
mans story about the bicycle a . it
gauzy. York will be arraigned in the
police court today.

WHO SOLD IT TO HIAIs
Fifteen-Year-OId Boy Found Shock
ingIy Drunk.

Joseph DAILY, boy fifteen years old,
and small for his age, presented a pit
liable spectacle as a prisoner at the
central police station last night on the
charge Of drunkenness and assault.
Bedraggled in appearance and half
stupefed from the effects Of liquor, he
staggered to the desk, and, between
hiccoughs, tried to convince Capt. ROu-
leau that he was innocent Of the
charge lodged against him.
The boy is accused of seriously in
juring May Koran, the fourteen-year-
old daughter of eX-City Detective
Thomas Koran, who lives at 235 Rosa
bel street The little girl, in company
with several companions, saw Daily
back of a building, and when he was
ordered away, it is alleged, he picked
up a large stone and threw it at the
children. The rock struck May Koran
in the back of the head and knocked
her down, cutting a cash which re-
Quired four stitches at the hands of a
physician. Young DAILY was arrested
shortly after the occurrence by Officer
Casey. He lives on Mississippi street,
and, it is said, has been arrested be-
fore. He will be tried in the police
court today.

WHITE WHALES.
Two Specimens Travel Overland
From the st. Lawrence.

From the st. Lawrence.
Two whales which came overland
from the st. Lawrence are now on eX-
hibition in the aquarium, says the New
York Herald. They are of the species
called white, and Prof. H. d. Butler,
of Brooklyn, who was instrumental IN
obtaining this new attraction, says
that so far as he knows these are the
only whales now in captivity.
Though called white, these whales
are not of that absolute color. One.
the female, is of a cream tint, and
her companion, a yearling male, is of a
dark drab complexion. The female
measures 1912 feet in length and weighs
500 pounds. The male is nine feet long
and weighs 600 pounds.
These denizens of the deep were
shared by Canadian fishermen. They
arrived in uncovered boxes and were
two days out of their native element.
But they seemed none the worse for
the experience, saving a few bruises
which the female received in transit.
The boxes came by express over the
at Weehawken they were hurried into
an express van and brought to the
aquarium. The van was backed into
the building, and the boxes, with the
whales still in them. were launched
into the big tank in the rotunda. The
mammals rolled SluggiShly out of their
receptacles, and a few hours later they
had so discolored the water that only
the heave of their shiny backs could
be seen in the turbid pool.

Saturday Night EEe Made n Call, and
the Refrain.
Thomas Foley, living at 20 Sixth
street, Minneapolis, claims to have been
the victim of a lone highwayman In
this city shortly after midnight yes
terday morning. According to Foley's
story, he was given the strong arm
process by tall, dark-appearlng
young man at the top of the Jackson
street hill and robbed Of a pocketbook
containing $15 in cash. He had been
to the house of Thomas Mellet on Syca-
more street. Foley says, and was nur-
rying down town to catch the last car
to Minneapolis, when he was assault
ed. Just over the brow OF the hill, &C
corling to Foley'S account of his eX-
perence, a man ran up behind MIN,
and, placing one hand over his mouth,
began strangling him with the other
forearm. Foley tried to call out, but
could hardly breathe. When he began
to struggle the highwayman threw
him against the side of the hill, anf,
holding him with one hand, began
search Of his pockets. He took the
wallet, Foley says, and made grab
for his watch At this point footsteps
of some one approaching We're heard.
and the thug released his hold upon
FOley's throat. He tried to Getach the
watch, but the chain broke, leaving the
timepiece in Foleys pocket and the
chain dangling. Then the footpad ran
back up the hill and disappeared down
Robert street. Foley sought police
man, and found officer Hammergren,
to whom he related his encounter.
Officer Hammergren says Foley was
under the influence Of liquor, and 50
he sent him to the central station on
the charge of drunkenness, and after
ward made a search for the supposed
highwayran, but could find no trace
of a suspicious character in the neigh
borhood. Foley is still held at the pG-
lice station, it is said, for the purpose
of identifying his assailant should the
police succeed in making an arrest IN
connection with the case.
