NO BOOK FEE FOR NEGROES,
WILL BE ADMITTED INTO THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS FREE,
But Will Be Required to Furnish
Their own Text Books. Short
Session of School Board.

The board of public school commits
sionerS held short session Saturday
morning to consider matters connected
with the negro school.
Since the board adopted the plan. two
or three years ago, of charging a book
OF 5000 year and furnishing pupils
who attend the schools with books. it
has not worked satisfactorily in the ne
gro school, About a hundred pupils
attended the negro school last session.
and OF these considerably less than half
paid the book fee. The Others furnished
their own books, which is permitted by
theboard. Many of this latter class did
not have all of the books that were neces-
sary to their instruction, and that of
course prevented proper grading and in
tertred with the effici9ncy of the work
in the school room.
The board has decided to abolish the
book fee so far as the negro school is con-
cerned and admit children to that school
without any cost whatever next term,
Ihey will be required, however, to fur.
nish their own books.
! This action of the board will probably
cause larger attendance upon the negro
school than ever before, and will inter
tere seriously with the Independent
school that some of the negroes are get

yesterday at his office and asked him if
it was true, reported, that he is about
to leave this city and locate elsewhere.
who told you that?" was the evasive
reply. ST might go to New York tonight,
but you can't call that removal. We are
there already; we are everywhere. We
employ more hands than any other firm

HER ESTATE SMALL.
It Is Probable That the Residence of
Mrs. Stowe in Hartford Will
Be Sold

Hartford, Conn, July 3.-The meag-
erness of the estate left by Harriet
Beecher Stowe soon is to be made APP
parent.
Her twin daughters, who made a
home for her on Forest street in this
city years ago, are in danger of being
deprived of the historic mansion. When
Mrs. Stowe made her will several years
ago she thought she would leave prop
erty enough to provide amply for her
daughters and also for her son, the
Rev Charles E. Stowe of Simsbury.
Her son was to care for the property in
the interest of his sisters. By a codicil
Mrs. Stowe bequeathed the Forest
street home to her daughters, but she
failed to sign the codicil, and it is there
fore, of no value.
An inventory of the estate has de-
veloped the fact that there is not suf-
ficient property to support the daugh-
tiers of Mrs. Stowe in comfort. Their
brother has notified them that he is
about to sell the old house and pro
vide a home for them in Simsbury. This
news has caused quite a stir in Hart
ford and some people attribute the de-
cision of the Rev. Mr.. Stowe to his re-
cent quarrel with the Misses Stowe ov-
er the Harriet Beecher Stowe statue.
The Stowe residence is in the same
block with that of Samuel L. Clemens

From the Evening Nevs, Detroit, Mich.

Udney Y. Wilson, contractor and builder,
living in Detroit, Mich, at 81 High Street,
West, said regarding DIR. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People: "For years I have
been out of doors in all kinds of bad weather
looking after my building contracts. I have
worked many days in the rain and cold to
complete some building. About two years
ago I noticed I could not get around as
should, and commenced to have a severe pain
in my back. / tried the usual remedies with
out getting any relief, and for nearly year
suffered intensely. I kept up as long as
could, as had several contracts for buildings
that had to be completed.
At night I could not sleep. Ny physi-
clan said it my kidneys, and every day
I went out doors they would keep me awake
nearly all the following night. Instead of
getting better I became worse, and worried
q great deal about my work. The doctor
said | must quit work and go to bed, or he
would not be responsible for my life.
All the medicines I took only helped
me temporarily. Some days I would feel
better and go out day only to be again con-
fined to my bed for weeks at q time. One
day my wife suggested that I try DIR. VIII
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and
laughed at the idea.
Finally when got into such a condition
that I would take almost anything in the
hope of relief I tried the pills They helped
me from the start but would not acSnowl-
edge it and said it was the other medicines
that had just commenced to work. disliked

NEW YORK TO KEEP PAN.
President Jeroleman Announces That
Place Has Been Found in

New York, July 3.-Pan probably will
not go to ST. Louis, although there is
yet chance that it may be secured if
the city will make an aggressive fight
for the statue.
The local authorities awakened by
the inquiries from St. Louis and other
cities concerning the disposition of the
work, have relented, and this afternoon
Prof. Jeroleman of the board of alder
men announced that a place had been
found for Pan in Central park
Tomorrow President Jeroleman will
inspect the plaster cast Of the proposed
statue, and if he is satisfied that it is
"a suita bic work of art for the public
to gaze upon," the statue will be placed
in the park at Seventy-sixth street on
the Fifth avenue side.

sTRAWBOARD TRUST NOW.
Antitrust Law Evaded by Leasing
All Mills

Toledo, o., July ga Toledo gentleman,
prominent in strawboard manufacture,
gave out the following to the local press
today, conditioned that his name be not
used 1t is absolutely reliable:
within the past few days the straw
board trust has been reorganized. 1t APP
pears this time under the name of the
Standard Strawboard company, but the
American Strawboard company is back
of it. This accounts for the recent raise
in the market, and the buoyancy of the
American Strawboard company. The new
trust will control the output of all grades
of strawboard from the cheapest board
up to the finest MANILA and wood pulp
boards. This includes all kinds of book
back and box materials.
1.-The Standard Strawboard company,
which has control of about three
fourths of the mill of the country, and is
rapidly getting hold of the rest of them,
is organized upon the plan which it is
thought will evade the antitrust law. It
has practically leased the mills which
have Joined the trust. If the owner of a
mill let's his property lie idle, he receives
a dollar per day for every ton capacity
of the plant. If the manager of a mill
thinks there is money in operating his
plant he must sell his product to the
Standard Strawboard company, or it must
be sold under the supervision of the CEN
trail company.
1.-The capital stock of the company,
which is incorporated under the laws of
New Jersey, is $13O, 900, which is held by
the owners of the mills belonging to the
trust.
I'm fixing the price on strawboard the
Standard company adds 81 per ton to the
price at which the mill sells to the COM
pany. This is to pay dividends and rest
of idle plants

But I have no connection with this

DIR. EDISON EXPLAINS.
States Something About the Case
Against Hi1G and T. Il. Balm.

States Something About the Case
Against Hi,s and T. 4. Balm.
In an interview with A. M. Edison, re-
garding the American Coupon Invest
nnent company and the trial of Edison
and T. H. Balm before the court here,
the doctor says.
I'VE have been unjustly treated. I
do not believe we have had a fair and
impartial trial, and some of the papers
have led the public to believe it a pen
1tentiary offense, when, in fact, if we
were guilty of using the mails for
fraudulent purposes it would be only
2 misdemeanor with but light penalty.
The facts are, that the business is as
fair and honorable as that of any inSur-
Rnce company. The only difference be-
tween the two is, one pays the contract
all at one time after death, while the
other pays it in installmentS on math-
ematical calculation during life. a
fraternal order relies solely on increase
of business and lapses for it's existence
while this company, besides enjoying
the same law of business, has the addi-
tions to its maturity fund of fines, trans
fer fees and interest accommodations
Take away from life insurance the
great factor of increase Of business and
lapses and no company would long ex-
list.
There Is probably half a hundred
companies doing business in the Unit
ed States on similar plans, paying back
to their investors, as did this one, 80
per cent Of its gross receipts, while old
line life insurance companies have ia
ken 20 per cent of their gross receipts,
paying back to policy holders only
about 30 per cent of premiums paid in.
Note, then, how much more profitable
to the investor is this plan, viz: as so
per cent is to 80 per cent-and you will
see the cause of this fight on these COM
panies and who is the power behind it.
We have been made the victims for a
rest effort by the opposition to knock
this nlan of investment.
Very many have more or less felt
the powers of aggregate wealth in Sc
curing the monopoly of business, by
thus destroying its competitors. The
only fraud 1 know of, in connection
with that company, was the unjust OPP
position to its business. no doubt by
fhe influence of giant corporations; 9TH

St. Louis, July 3.-As diseases, house
maid s knee and painters collie have long
stood in a class by themselves. They are
about to be joined by new malady which
has just made it's appearance in st. Louis
The new affection is known as the tele-
phone stomach.
A man was seized with the telephone
stomach at Koerner's garden Tuesday
evening. He had just sent a telephone
message and as he Joined another gentle
man his face grew pale, his lips twitched
and he pressed his hand against the pit OF
his stomach.
I'm deathly ILL., he remarked to his
friend. ''Telephoning does it. Every
time I talk through one of the thing I'm
overcome by nausea, which seems seated
right here in my stomach. Sometimes it

A reporter CHANGED to overhear the ex-
traordinary conversation. Tuesday he
called on Chief Operator J. C. Casey of
the Bell Telephone Co. of Missouri. He
asked Mr.. Casey if he had ever heard Of
persons being affected by the telephone
and especially If the young girls who work
as operators ever complained of such ILL
ness when they first took their positions.
Mr.. Casey was positive he had never
heard of such a thing before. He didn't
see how it was possible for the telephone
to make man ILL., He was sure the

said:
