SCHOOLS IN SESSION.
Overcrowding Reported in Some Build
 ingS

OVefcfoWdlng Reported In some Bullu-
 ings.
 The school children began this years work in the public schools yesterday.
 The Lowell and Winchester schools are badly crowded, while it will require some planning to accommodate all the high school children in the Hillhouse school. In the latter school Principal Scudder assumed his duties yesterday. Roger Sherman school could not be opened as the furniture had not ar rived.
 The other schools which cannot be opened are the Ezekiel Cheever, Dwight, Eaton and Davenport schools, the first four rooms in Hallock school, room 2 of Lloyd school, and rooms and of Edwards street school.
 The Eaton school will not be ready to open until about October 1.
 Superintendent Kendall announced Monday the following additional ap- pointments of teachers for the ensuing year: Miss Lillian Daniels to be prfn- cipal of the new Ezekiel Cheever school on Lombard street, and Miss Harriet B. Comstock to be assistant teacher in room F of the Shelton avenue school.

THE APOLLO LANIP--the most econom. ical Lamp ever manufactured-eonsum only 2A cubic feet of gas per hour; less than any other Lamp in the market. The Apollo Lamp can be adjusted to any Gas Fixture, is adapted for natural, coal or gas oline gas, and is provided with an Auto matic Regulator, which prevents the break ing of chimneys by sudden increase of gas pressure.
 The APOLLO MANTLEs are the most durable ever manufactured; they are made in any desired tint. The Orange Light be ing the best adapted for private dwellings. as 1t is free from that ghastly hue so ob. jectionabe to the ladies. The Blue-Whte Light is the best for stores and where the greatest possible candle-power is wanted, These MantIes are suspended from the top like bell, by. a loop of material, same as that from which the Mantles are made. There is nothing to burn off and destroy the Mantles, and their being, suspended from the top prevents any sudden jar from breaking them, as is cmmon with other Mantles: THE ARNOLD co. Sole Agents,

All wanting nails, barbed wire, iron and steel roofing, or anything what ever in that line, will find what they want in any quantity from single packages to carload lots at the store Of Fheo. Geblef, the pioneer hard- ware merchant of Nogales, who buys at the lowest CASH prices and imports in carload lots, and can sell goods at prices which underbid those who ad- yertise that they defy all competi- tion.

admitted that but little money would
 have been forthcoming at Nogales
 had not the printing contract been
 let here. How were the contracts,
 actual and implied, carried out. Oi
 the twenty thousand copies prom
 ised but four thousand were ac-
 tually printed, and of that four
 thousand at least three thousand are yet in the hands of the publisher and likely to so remain. Yet when a reputable, established newspaper,
 with a guaranteed circulation and
 high standing goes to many of the men who have been faxed and asks support, the reply is: "Oh, I cam [ afford to expend any more money for advertising; I took one hundred copies of .Treasureland' and I gave twenty-five dollars to Sonora Ilustrado, and I cannot spare any more money for advertising just now" And in those very asser- tions they probably admit 10 having been wheedled into giving to an outsider who has not done them one dollars worth of good and never trades with them; more money than they pay in year to their home newspaper man who is always working for their good, and always trades with them. When werk of this kind is to be done it should be done by the reg ular established newspapers. They are fixtures i'll community, and cannot afford to slight their work, while those conducting them are more familiar with the country than stranger; consequently it will be always done better and more thoroughly, and the money made out of it could be disbursed in the community or region paying it. And as stated in the outset the com munity and the newspapers should set their faces resolutely against any other plan.

NEWSPAPERS AND SPECIAL WORK

Pima county with "Treasureland" and the people of the state of Sono- ra and the town of Nogales with ''Sonora Ilustrado" have vividly thrust into prominence an idea which not only all the people every where should remember, but upon which ali the regularly established newspapers should act. And that is to set their faces as fiints against all special write ups" of the town, county or state, except as a part oi a regularly printed edition of an es- tablished and reputable newspaper. The people should refuse these spe- cial works patronage because they do not return tithe of the money they wheedle out of the public; the press should frown them down be- cause they take right out from the business circulation large portion of what may be termed the "adver- tising fund, which would other wise go to the newspapers, where it properly belongs.
 Usually these special works are gotten up by glib-tongued individ- uals whose promise far exceeds their performance, and with re- markable facility for painting in lurid colors the benefit their pub lication will be to your business and your town. They succeed in enlisting business men to hustle for them, and even get coulumn after column of free advertising from the newspapers. Reputable business men will go before town councils and boards of supervisors and ad- vocate that they be paid literally ont of the public funds for the good their unshaped publication will do the town, and they secure for them in a few weeks more than aregularly established newspaper with an ex- pensive plant, disbursing money for wages and paying taxes, can secure. out of the same community in twice as many months. And when this great work is completed what is its value? How much of the money paid by the business men and the community at large Is returneds Take 'Treasureland." Nine-tenths of the copies bought and paid for are stacked up by the purchasers, who don't know where to send them or what to do with them. In Tucson last week the writer saw in  various places hundreds of copies, stacked up in corners, numbering up otherwise valuable space. The town of Nogales has big stock of them with which the board knows not what to do.
 Sonora Illustrate" is another instance. It was promised that there should be twenty thousand copies published, and that they would be placed in public libraries, reading rooms, etc, all over the United States. Under that promise

on he rectifed the mistake by escortfng
the Cleveland couple into the right sec

man arose to go he picked up what he
supposed was his travelling bag and
started away with it.
He hadn't been in the forward car
but few moments when he had occa-
sion to open the bag. This is what he
found in it:

the owner. He didn't have long to
look. Down the aisle, accompanied by
the porter, came a stocly man with 4
big black mustache and a shiny silk
hat. He grabbed the bag with smile
of relief and trotted back with it. The
bridegroom followed him and secured
mis- own bag. As he turned to leave the
car the stocky individual shouted after
him:
