were sure of their December pay they
would not worry over past accounts.
Mr.. Pew said that he held many teash-
ers' salary warrants in his possession
that had never been called for. Mr..
Shelton would take The bovine by the
horns and pay the money out anyhow,
and run the risk of public approval.
Mayor Magoffin assured the trustees
of the support of the ely council, ard
characterized as bad precedent, the
board's ignoring any of its past ac's.
The council will levy taxes for the
maintenance of the kschool system.
Mayor Magoffin believed tn, supreme
court would reverse the decision of the
court of app ais. It would not be an
equitable thing to take money on hand
and pay for the present regardless of
service already rendered. He would
be willing to give bond that money
for the teachers will be forthcoming but
first, pay outstanding obligations. Mr..
! Martin supported Judge Magoffin's
plan. G. r. Morehead suggested that
if the First National bank would CO.
operate with the State National bank
aud he believed it would be glad to do
SO, we can find a way to go on vii b the
schools. Mr.. Morehead had no fear
for the fut are and strongly dep ecated
any thought of stopping the schools as
greatly damaging to the reputation of

be sus' aimed and the members re-elec:-
ed, if they wished; in fact Mr.. More
head appeared to favor a reelection as
the new board would be made up Of
former members whOse policy would
not be ov rsurued. And if the oil d
board were reelected, the outcome of
the suit would be immaterial. Mr..
Morehe ads talk created an excellent
impression, and Supt. Putnam charac-
terized it as fair proposition as could
be presented to the board.
The remainder of the session was oc-
cupied by discussions as to the re-
sponsibility Of the treasurer in pay
ment of moneys before the supreme
court finally settled matters. Treasurer
Foster was perfectly willing to assume
in common with the board his just and
due share of such responsibility; but
in justice to himself and his bondsmen
hardly felt like assuming all risks in
view of possible litigation; aud that
seemed to be the general sense of the
board.
Judge Harper's motion was then car
ried, and the meeting adjo raed until
300 D. m, today, when 10 accordance
with motion from Mr.. Shelton, Mr..
Morehead of the State National bank
and Mr.. Stewart of the the First Ma
tionsl bank will confer with the board
on advancement of moneys for tiding
the school over the present difficulty.

A Carnival of Suicide.

During the centuries Immediately pre-
ceding and those following the opening
Of the Christian era. voluntary death was
at its worst in Europe Broadly speaking
the teaching of all the philosophers ora
tors and poets Of the time was that sui
eide was not only justiflabie, but was
noble and courageous act. Among the
propagators of this doctrine may be men
toned Plato, Cicero, Seneca, Eplctetus,
Cleanthes. and Marcus Aurelius, and it
can be truthfully asserted that many or
the greatest men Of pagan Europe died
by their own hands. In this way Aris-
totle, Demosthenes, Zeno, cato, Brutus,
Hannibal. Mark Antony, and many 9TH
ers met their death.
This popularity of suicide must have
been due to a certain extent, to the
teaching Of the learned men OF the time,
which has, as a rule a powerful indu-
onco upon the educated classes. And, as
the actions of great men are usually fol-
lowed by numbers of inferior men who
wish 10 rank with those they ape. the fire.

any teaching, although many were I'M
