ROTON POINT NOT SOLD.

John H. Starin Has Leased Columbus
 Grove West of the Point-Will Build
 a Dock and Run Daily Line of Ex-
 cursion Steamers From New York
 NOrWalk, Dec. 9.-The reported sale of Roton Point to John H. Starin is in correct, as the latter has not purchased nor will he make a proposition to buy unless he is forced to leave Glen Island by the governments taking the beauti- full summer resort.
 Captain Van Clief, a representative of Mr. Starin, came to South NorWaik on Wednesday and bargained for a lease of Columbus Grove and beach, which is situated at the west of Roton Point and at the mouth of Five Mile River harbor, and final arrangements are now being made for the lease.
 It is the intention of MT. Starin to construct a dock some 800 feet in length from this grove, and to run daily line of excursion steamers from New York during the summer season.
 Under the agreement with Mr. Starin, the Roton Point Improvement company will remove their present bathing houses from RCton to Columbus beach and construct marine railway between the two groves.
 The arrangement with MT Starin, however, will not affect the present lease of the Iron Steamboat company and the latter will continue to run ex- cursions to the Roton Point dock.

NO REDUCTION OF SALARIES.

There will be no reduction in the sal aries of the city teachers, as has been reported. This is legally impossible, since the teachers have contracts with the city for certain salary and these contracts do no expire until next June. This report was occasioned by the fact that the finance commission did not al low the s510,0OO asked for, but only S371.- 600. This amount allowed will give the board plenty of money to properly con- duct the schools, but 1t will be impossi- ble to erect the new building contem- plated

What shall the children
 Read?


 Arthur Bostwick of the New York Free Circulating Library, says:
 "Optic and Alger have positive virtues. Optic works into his stories vast amount of valuable information. A learned professor in one of our first un- iversities is reported to have said that he gained more knowledge of geography from Optics books than from all the other writers he ever read or studied. And both Optic and Alger exalt the sim pie virtues-honesty, truth, manliness, courage.
